128 Exploring Your Computer’s Features<br />

Using the i.LINK ® port<br />

Using the i.LINK ® port<br />

Do not remove memory media while data is being written or read.<br />

Even when the Windows ® message “copying...” disappears, writing<br />

to the media might still be in progress and your data could be<br />

destroyed. Wait for the indicator light to go out.<br />

The i.LINK ® port on the side of the computer provides an extremely<br />

fast data transfer rate.<br />

In addition to high speed, the i.LINK ® port also supports<br />

isochronous data transfer (the delivery of data at a guaranteed rate).<br />

This makes it ideal for devices that transfer high levels of data in<br />

real-time, such as video devices.<br />

As with USB ports, the i.LINK ® port supports both Plug-and-Play<br />

(automatic configuration) and hot swapping (the ability to connect<br />

and disconnect devices while the computer is on).<br />

Using the eSATA/USB combo port<br />

Your computer includes an eSATA/USB combo port, which can be<br />

used with both eSATA (external Serial Advanced Technology<br />

Attachment) devices and USB devices. The eSATA interface<br />

supports fast data transfer rates, which is especially useful for<br />

transferring and storing large files such as digital photo, music or<br />

video files. Like the USB and i.LINK ® interfaces, the eSATA<br />

interface supports hot swapping (connecting and disconnecting<br />

devices while the computer is on). eSATA devices require an<br />

external power source.
