That's one less cable cluttering up your desktop. It's even possible to power a compatible laptop (delivers up to 15W to power compatible laptops) through a USB-C (Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1) port.

It's also the first LaCie product to feature the Seagate BarraCuda Pro HDD for industry-leading performance and reliability, backed by a 5-year limited warranty.įrom a single, mighty port, you get astonishing bandwidth with the versatility of the USB-C industry standard. With Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 speeds through the USB-C port, the new LaCie d2 performs perfectly on late model laptops such as the new MacBook Pro-as well as on USB 3.0-compatible computers. The perfect complement to SSD-based laptops and all-in-one computers, the new d2 Thunderbolt 3 massively expands your capacity up to 10TB (This model has 6TB) for professional bandwidth-intensive creative applications.

More Compatibility, Space and Reliability. Since 1997, LaCie d2 storage has been so dependable, so finely calibrated for high-bandwidth tasks, that creative pros have been able to focus entirely on what they do best: creating. The daisy-chain port is also a nice touch, since it gives me a bit more flexibility on my port-deprived iMac. The T3 speed was nice for the first backup, which took over 5 hours with a USB 3.0 drive, and the reliability of the LaCie drive is reassuring. The entire new backup took less than two hours and the drive has ran without a hitch since. The drive arrived in a couple days, I unpacked it, connected it up, and ran through the LaCie setup routine in about 10 minutes. I went with a LaCie drive, because they have worked before without a hitch, and the price even for the T3 was reasonable.

then unable to reconnect on its own, not a good feature in a backup drive. Unfortunately, I went through two different drives, both encountering a mysterious - and apparently relatively common - iMac problem with the drives disconnecting when the drive chipset tries to sleep the drive independent of the iMac. Not wishing to spend the extra $ for T3, when I really didn't need the extra speed, I selected a replacement (from a reputable supplier) using USB 3.0 (fast enough for my application). I had to replace my old backup drive when it began to fail.
