Innovative Design, Breakthrough Durability When recreating the industrial design of the d 2, La Cie focused relentlessly on reliability & usability for professionals. Unibody Enclosure The casing is forged from a single sheet of aluminum, providing uncommon rigidity for long-term durability & premium quality. Power– Saving Mode For Thunderbolt connections, save energy by pressing the power button to spin down disks without interrupting daisy chain transfers. For USB (Universal Serial Bus) connections, disk spins down automatically when the host operating system goes to sleep. Fan– Free Cooling The seamless, all-aluminum unibody enclosure draws heat away from the hard disk. The integrated base extends the enclosure’s surface area, providing even more space for heat dissipation. The results are a long lifespan for components & ultra-quiet operation. Integrated Cable Management Prevent accidentally disconnected interface or power cables without compromising the look & design of the product. Anti– Vibration Features A cushioning base & vibration-absorbing hard disk mounts combine to dramatically reduce vibration.
