LaCie d2 technology: fan-free cooling

To reduce noise during operation, the LaCie d2’s built-in stand features vibration-dampening rubber feet.

Additionally, the LaCie d2’s metal casing dissipates heat from the drive, allowing for noiseless, fan-free cooling.

Since LaCie's unique design draws heat away from the internal hard drive, the external casing will be warm to

the touch after extended use.

The LaCie d2’s specially constructed exterior can prolong the life of its hard drive via the fan-free cooling

system. To protect the hard drive from external forces, the LaCie d2 also includes rubber anti-shock disk mounts

within the enclosure.

The LaCie d2 features:

Desktop convenience

■

Aluminum front and all-metal enclosure

■

Two Thunderbolt 2 technology ports, up to 20Gb/s bi-directional per port

■

USB 3.0 port, up to 5Gb/s and universal connectivity

■

Daisy chain Thunderbolt 2 and first generation Thunderbolt devices (up to seven, including the computer)

LaCie d2 SSD Option

You can boost the performance of your LaCie d2 by adding the SSD Option. The LaCie d2 SSD Option is a PCIe

SSD constructed to fit perfectly into the LaCie d2 enclosure. Once installed, the PCIe SSD works in tandem with

the hard drive to increase transfer rates by over five times that of the LaCie d2 in its standard configuration.
