Versatility for Professional Environments

Featuring the next-generation USB 3.0 interface, the LaCie d2 delivers fast speeds on any late-model PC or Mac® computer.

And since USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0**, the most common interface on the planet, you can access your files from any computer.





No-Compromise Speed for Leaner Workflows

Professional components yield professional speeds. The new LaCie d2 combines a high-performance interface with a Seagate 5 TB 7200 RPM hard disk, resulting in stunning speeds of up to 200 MB/s. Excellent performance plus industry-best capacity make the LaCie d2 the perfect solution for storing large files and project archiving.

With this speed, it’s possible to store and browse a massive RAW Adobe® Lightroom® library with zero lag. And videographers can transport and then quickly transfer hours of RAW video footage onto a RAID backup device.



Innovative Design, Breakthrough Durability

When recreating the industrial design of the d2, LaCie focused relentlessly on reliability and usability professionals.

Unibody Enclosure

Forged from a single piece of aluminum, the casing provides uncommon rigidity for long–term durability and premium quality.



Power–Saving Mode

Disk spins down automatically when the host operating system goes to sleep. Or, use LaCie Desktop Manager to configure the product to spin down disk after a specified amount of time.



Fan–Free Cooling

The broad, seamless surface area of the unibody enclosure — which includes the integrated base — dissipates heat effectively. As a result, the cooling system prolongs the lifespan of internal components while enabling ultra–quiet operation.



Integrated Cable Management

Prevent accidentally disconnected interface or power cables without compromising the look and design of the product.



Anti–Vibration Features

Extruded seams, cushioning base, and vibration–dampening hard disk mounts combine to dramatically reduce hard disk vibration.





Packed with Value for Pros

With a bundled professional backup software suite and compatibility with Time Machine™ and Windows Backup, the LaCie d2 includes everything you need for secure backup. This product also includes LaCie Private-Public software, which lets you prevent unauthorized access by password-protecting volumes with AES 256-bit encryption.



For the ultimate in peace of mind and value, the LaCie d2 features a three-year limited warranty. It includes comprehensive, complimentary web-based resources, expert in-house technical support, and worldwide repair and/or replacement coverage.

Comments: * To achieve full interface bandwidth, connect the product to a USB 3.0 port on a computer or device.
** These transfer rates were achieved using AJA System Test when connected to a Mac computer. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating environment and other factors, such as disk capacity.
*** These measurements have been made under normal conditions, one meter/three feet from the front of the product. These values may vary with conditions and product configuration.

When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one thousand billion bytes. Your computers operating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and will not be available for data storage.
