Questions about LaCie 2big Dock Thunderbolt 3

Ciao I've been using a LaCie d2 Professional (20 TB) for a month now, so I can't say much about its longevity yet. But what impressed me was the fast transfer rate when I had to shovel over the data from the old LaCie BigBloc!

Evtl. hilft Dir das weiter? https://www.lacie.com/ch/de/support/network-storage/2big-2-disk-raid/

Dealers in Switzerland are legally obliged to supply you with a Swiss power plug with the product, and optionally to include a certified adapter free of charge. If this is missing from the delivery (as in my case), you can request a cable or adapter via a support request.

In this configuration, both partitions are mirrored, i.e. HD1 partition 1 with 2 TB and partition 2 with 6 TB = HD2 partition 1 with 2 TB and partition 2 with 6 TB. Works fine for me with 3 TB / 5 TB, Apple Time Machine goes to the 3 TB partition and is thus limited in the maximum size, i.e. does not fill the 2big endlessly. Tip - pay attention to the correct formatting from the beginning, depending on the intended use. Hope this helps.

Yes, everything is perfect ;-)

You have two options: either buy this product and modify it to your liking. Or you could ask Ferrari for a cover to put over a Passat.

According to the information provided by the manufacturer, this hard drive is compatible with MacOS Catalina. However, we have had feedback from some customers who have had problems with Catalina (disk not recognised, PC crash, etc).

Yes, and if not, Digitec will give you an adapter for free.

That is not true. However, it only makes sense with a Thunderbolt 3 cable (50-200cm). This makes it so fast that you can edit 'normal' 4K videos externally. I have a 2nd HD in the loop, which is connected via another Thunderbolt 3 cable (note not USB-C, so it is, but the arrow for Thunderbolt must be on it).

Hello, both Thunderbolt (3 + 2) cables were included, so I was able to connect the LaCIE 2big to my iMac 2015 without any problems. Unfortunately, there was no suitable power cable for Switzerland, but many others which I was allowed to dispose of.

Works perfectly under OSCatalina 10.15.1 - new iMac set up again with recovery, everything OK - but I reset iMac to factory settings (crashes in eMail and Final Cut) - reinstalled PRG and transferred data from the LaCie with Time Machine - then it was really perfect. The LaCie 2big has done everything perfectly and is always in continuous operation - I would buy again at any time.

Hello yes of course you have this possibility by using the RAID Lacie utility it is the RAID 1 mode otherwise also RAID 0 (one volume = at 2 HD) or JBOD = a 2x 1 HD

Yes, with this adapter it works perfectly: Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to (Thunderbolt 2) 58.70 Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to (Thunderbolt 2)

Hello The main difference is that the new version officially supports larger disks, currently up to 28TB, and has a Thunderbolt 3. If you use a Thunderbolt connection, the new one is faster, but this is probably only due to the larger disks.

Yes, it is possible to connect CFast and SD-Cards.

A total of 8 TB. Most likely 2 x 4 TB. I hope I was able to answer your question. If so, please accept my answer as an answer to your question.

Or it will ve enought the normal usb 3.1 gen 1 to have the max speed from raid 0? Between 350 and 500 mbs transfer data? If yes, it would be enough one WD MY BOOK DUO right?
