TECHNOLOGY
THUNDERBOLT 2 TECHNOLOGY
The LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 uses Thunderbolt 2 technology, the fastest, most versatile connection for your
computer. While first generation Thunderbolt technology transfer rates are 10Gb/s bi-directional, Thunderbolt 2
technology provides 20Gb/s bi-directional. Additionally, Thunderbolt 2 technology gives priority to the video
stream, apportioning the required bandwidth for playback. This is a critical advantage when working with
high-end video and 3D graphics.
For example, a film editor is working with two streams, 4K video at 12Gb/s and data at 4Gb/s. Whereas first
generation Thunderbolt technology may experience difficulty with the video signal, Thunderbolt 2 technology
allows it to pass without a problem, dividing the bandwidth as needed for playback.
Important cable info: When connecting your Thunderbolt 2 enclosure to a computer or compatible devices,
use cables specifically constructed to support Thunderbolt technology.
Important info: A Thunderbolt enclosure must be connected to a computer that supports Thunderbolt
technology. While the ports on the back of the device can easily seat Mini DisplayPort cable ends for daisy
chaining displays, the Thunderbolt storage will only work when connected to a computer that supports
Thunderbolt technology.

built-in protection. Its powerful RAID engine saves your computer from expending critical processing resources
on storage management, which is crucial for video and graphics applications that place heavy demands on
computer CPUs. Further, hardware RAID solutions offer advanced RAID configurations to suit the needs of your
working environment (see RAID).
