Quadra Hard Disk is the ideal tool for creative professionals who need
both fast speeds and large storage capacity. It features 7200rpm
drives with a minimum of 32MB cache for the best performance and

Best of all, it can achieve speeds up to 130MB/s in USB 3.0.
Cross-Platform Applications
The d2 Quadra has got the latest connectivity with USB 3.0 and two
FireWire 800 interfaces for daisy chaining, but it is still fully compatible
with, eSATA 3Gb/s, USB 2.0 and FireWire 400. It’s even USB

®
computers, thanks to LaCie’s USB 3.0 driver
for Mac OS. With all of its interfaces, the d2 Quadra has universal
connectivity, so it is easy to back up and restore any workstation, no matter
the configuration and interfaces. And thanks to the USB 3.0 performance,
you can make faster, more frequent backups of your data, keeping it safe
and secure. Since the d2 Quadra tops out at a 3TB capacity, it can even
be used as a simple and convenient storage expansion for a server.
Cooler Design
The d2 Quadra’s unique and unobtrusive design is respected in the
creative content industry for good reason. The fanless aluminum
heat sink design provides an increased surface area for better heat
dissipation, keeping it quiet, safe, and free from dust inside. It can
also stand upright, be stacked horizontally with other drives, or
even be rackmounted to save desktop space. It’s a superb solution
for heavy storage users who want off-site backups and archives of
any work environment. For superior energy efficiency, it also has a
programmable eco mode, which automatically conserves energy if
the drive is inactive for a certain period of time. On top of that, it’s
recyclable and ROHS-compliant.
