HARD DISK HEAT MANAGEMENT
Heat Dissipation Design
This LaCie product's metal body is ideal for naturally dissipating internal drive heat. Its unique design actually
draws heat away from the internal drive toward the external casing. The large surface area of the heat sink
casing absorbs internal heat and dissipates it, keeping the drive safe and prolonging its life and reliability.
As a consequence, it is normal that the external casing is warm to the touch. Please make sure that
the vent on the back-bezel is not obstructed and that there is a natural airflow across the casing.
Upright, Stack & Rackmount Configuration
Heat dissipation is maximized when this LaCie product is in the upright position. When stacking LaCie products,
please remember to attach the included rubber feet (if included) on the under side of your drives. This will allow
for some airflow between your drives so that the heat dissipation can work effectively. LaCie does not
recommend stacking or racking more than three drives on top of each other, especially if these drives are
turned on simultaneously.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS
USB 3.0
USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is
the latest implementation of this standard, and it provides higher bandwidth and new power management
features.
Transfer rates can attain up to 5 Gbits/s as opposed to USB 2.0's 480 Mbits/s. This means USB 3.0 is
theoretically up to ten times faster than its predecessor.
Your LaCie drive is shipped with a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable to ensure maximum data transfer performance
when connected to a compatible USB 3.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port,
but drive performance will be limited to their respective transfer rates.

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.
