MacBook Pro best "mate"? LaCie 2big Dock Desktop Hard Drive Experience


What's special about this desktop hard drive that costs more than $1500?

One of the most important changes in the PC industry over the past decade has been the proliferation of SSDs. With the great advantage of random read and write, the popularization of SSD has greatly enhanced the fluency of PC experience, making "Caton" gradually become history.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

On the other hand, however, while SSDs have generally fallen in price in the past few years, SSDs are still much more expensive than traditional mechanical hard drives, especially at the terabyte level of mass storage Device. In addition, because of the storage principle, once the solid-state drive's flash memory is lost, data is almost unrecoverable, making SSDs less suitable for backing up larger or more important data.

For most users, the solution is simple, buy a compact, inexpensive mobile hard disk is enough. But for professional users who need more capacity and safer data storage, a tricky desktop hard drive is still necessary.(For more information, please pay attention to our  JackTelecom www.jacktelecom.com).

LaCie is currently one of Seagate's high-end storage brands. As a product targeted at professional users, the LaCie 2big Dock is not cheap either. The smallest 8TB (two 4TB) versions cost $1050 , We experience the 20TB version, priced at $2121 yuan (you really did not wrong).

When it comes to LaCie, the first thing everyone might think of would be a combination of this high-end storage brand and another equally high-profile design studio, Porshe Design. With its unique look and craftsmanship, LaCie's Porshe Design line of products has an outstanding reputation.

IronWolf Pro, an enterprise-class drive from Seagate released late last year, is specifically optimized for RAID and supports 1 to 16 bays, with 300TB of rated user workload, almost five times the size of a regular PC desktop drive.

Up to 16TB compared to its predecessor (LaCie 2big Dock Thunderbolt 2), the new generation of LaCie 2big Dock offers up to a quarter of the maximum storage capacity. In RAID 0 mode, this capacity is enough to store up to 650 hours of 4K 30fps video, which should be sufficient for most professional users.
