TECHNOLOGY

THUNDERBOLT 2 TECHNOLOGY

The LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 uses Thunderbolt 2 technology, the fastest, most versatile connection for your

computer. While first generation Thunderbolt technology transfer rates are 10Gb/s bi-directional, Thunderbolt 2

technology provides 20Gb/s bi-directional. Additionally, Thunderbolt 2 technology gives priority to the video

stream, apportioning the required bandwidth for playback. This is a critical advantage when working with

high-end video and 3D graphics.

For example, a film editor is working with two streams, 4K video at 12Gb/s and data at 4Gb/s. Whereas first

generation Thunderbolt technology may experience difficulty with the video signal, Thunderbolt 2 technology

allows it to pass without a problem, dividing the bandwidth as needed for playback.

Important cable info: When connecting your Thunderbolt 2 enclosure to a computer or compatible devices,

use cables specifically constructed to support Thunderbolt technology.

Important info: A Thunderbolt enclosure must be connected to a computer that supports Thunderbolt

technology. While the ports on the back of the device can easily seat Mini DisplayPort cable ends for daisy

chaining displays, the Thunderbolt storage will only work when connected to a computer that supports

Thunderbolt technology.

between high transfer rates or data protection, the LaCie 5big offers both extraordinary performance and

built-in protection. Its powerful RAID engine saves your computer from expending critical processing resources

on storage management, which is crucial for video and graphics applications that place heavy demands on

computer CPUs. Further, hardware RAID solutions offer advanced RAID configurations to suit the needs of your

working environment (see RAID).
