LaCie Unveils 2big Dock With Thunderbolt 3 Support [Video]

LaCie has announced a new version of its 2big professional 2-bay RAID storage solution that gains Thunderbolt 3 support.

The LaCie 2big Dock delivers fast speeds and massive capacity, making it a powerhouse tool for photographers and videographers. Designed by Neil Poulton, the LaCie 2big Dock is also a sleek yet powerful docking station that provides ports for connecting other devices, a feature that many laptops have sacrificed in recent years. Through a single cable, the LaCie 2big Dock simplifies and centralizes the desktop by directly connecting to a laptop, SD Cards, Compact Flash Cards and other devices.




The new device features up to 20TB of storage, a 25% increase over the previous version, and speeds of up to 440MB/s. There are front facing SD and CF card slots and a USB 3.0 hub can charge a phone or connect to a drive or camera for offloading of files.

Via DisplayPort, professionals can connect the LaCie 2big Dock to high-resolution 720-1080p or even 4K displays. Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports can also power a compatible laptop while simultaneously daisy-chaining up to five additional Thunderbolt or one USB-C drive. Plus, the USB 3.1 port enables universal compatibility with USB-C and USB 3.0 computers via the included adapter cable. Thunderbolt 2 compatibility is also possible with an adapter (sold separately).

Additional Features:
● Seagate IronWolf Pro enterprise-class drives and RAID optimization for superior power management and reliability
● LaCie RAID Manager that easily monitors system’s health with audible alarm and email alerts
● Efficient cooling with aluminum enclosure and thermoregulated fan for professional reliability
● A five-year limited warranty


The new LaCie 2big Dock will be available in 12TB, 16TB or 20TB capacities through LaCie Resellers this summer. It will be showcased for the first time at the NAB Show in Las Vegas next week.
