Front Button Functions

The front LED is also a button. Consult the following table for front button functions. Note that Passive Mode

means that the product is on but the disks are idle. This allows you, for example, to daisy chain compatible

Thunderbolt devices to a host computer via the LaCie 5big, without causing the 5big's disks to spin up. This lets

you control energy usage and limit unnecessary wear and tear on the 5big's disks.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS

THUNDERBOLT

Your LaCie product features Thunderbolt technology, the most flexible interface ever created. This exciting new

high-speed cable technology connects your computers and electronic devices together like never before.

Thunderbolt technology supports two 10Gb/s bi-directional channels from a single port, the fastest data

connection available on a personal computer. At 10Gb/s, a full-length HD movie can be transferred in less than

30 seconds.

Thanks to support for both data streams and mini DisplayPort video, you can connect either a storage peripheral

or a display to a Thunderbolt port. However, it's not possible to use a mini DisplayPort cable to connect a

storage peripheral to a Thunderbolt port. You must use a Thunderbolt cable.
