INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS IN THIS MANUAL

Welcome to the User Manual for the

LaCie 8big Rack Thunderbolt™1) 2. The

LaCie 8big is a rackmount

direct-attached storage, or DAS.

Connect it to a computer that supports

Thunderbolt 2 technology for transfer

rates that reach up to 20Gb/s. LaCie

has constructed the LaCie 8big to

handle bandwidth-intensive content such as 4K video and 3D graphics. This means that professional editors,

photographers, and graphic artists get the highest performing storage for their most challenging projects.

Use this manual to guide you through the process of connecting your LaCie storage. For questions on

LACIE 8BIG RACK THUNDERBOLT 2: ADVANCED

STORAGE TECHNOLOGY

THUNDERBOLT 2 TECHNOLOGY

The LaCie 8big Rack 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 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.

LACIE 8BIG RACK THUNDERBOLT 2 TECHNOLOGY: HIGH-END

HARDWARE FOR PERFORMANCE AND REDUNDANCY

Featuring hardware RAID and redundant components, the LaCie 8big is a rarity in the world of high-end DAS.

While most DAS must choose between high transfer rates or data protection, the LaCie 8big offers both

extraordinary performance and 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).

also be pushed to turn on the identification LEDs and sound the alarm. Both buttons work in tandem, allowing

you to turn the visual and audio identifications on and off. For example, you can use the identification button

on the front of the device to turn them on and then turn them off via the rear identification button.

Mute button: Push the button to turn off the sound for an audio alarm. An audible alarm will sound when8.
