d2 THUNDERBOLT 3
Thunderbolt 3: Power and VersatilityFrom a single, mighty port, you get astonishing bandwidth with the versatility of the USB-C industry standard. For the LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3, the result is performance up to 240MB/s* for cutting-edge creative workflows, the widest compatibility, and time-saving device configurations.
Performance
Faster transfers mean less time moving files from camera cards into Adobe® Lightroom—and more time filling camera cards with new photos and footage.
Laptop Charging
It's even possible to power a compatible laptop** through a USB-C (Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1) port. That’s one less cable cluttering up your desktop.
Compatible with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 (Mac only)
Macs with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 ports can experience high-end transfer rates with LaCie Thunderbolt 3 professional solutions. Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter (sold separately) provides easy connection between LaCie Thunderbolt 3 solutions and Macs with earlier generations of Thunderbolt technology.*
*The Mac must be running macOS Sierra 10.12 or later and transfer rates are based upon the speed of the connection, up to 10Gb/s for Thunderbolt and up to 20Gb/s for Thunderbolt 2. For details and potential restrictions, see Apple Support
Daisy Chaining
Thanks to dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can daisy chain dual 4K displays, a single 5K display, or up to six total LaCie d2 drives—all through a single cable connected to your computer.
