LaCie 2big External HDD Overview

If you've been looking for a powerful and versatile Thunderbolt 3 docking station that restores many of the ports and connectivity that have been removed on modern day laptops, take a look at the 16TB 2big Dock 2-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array from LaCie. The 2big Thunderbolt 3 Dock delivers a storage capacity of 16TB, which is comprised of two 8TB Seagate IronWolf Pro 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" enterprise-class hard drives. While the 2big is compatible with Windows 10 and macOS 10.12, it comes formatted as HFS+ for Mac, and is configured as hardware-controlled RAID 0, which provides performance gains, but no data redundancy. Also supported is RAID 1 and JBOD.

The back of the 2big is equipped with two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports, which allow you to interface with your host system at speeds up to 550 MB/s. The Thunderbolt 3 interface can also be used to connect two 4K displays or one 5K display, as well as daisy-chain up to five additional Thunderbolt 3 peripherals together. Additionally, there is a DisplayPort interface that supports 720p, 1080p, 4K, and 5K displays.

On its front, the 2big has a built-in USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 port, which can charge your USB device or connect a USB drive or digital camera for offloading files, as well as a CFexpress Type B, CFast 2.0, and UHS-II SDXC card slots, allowing you to directly download content from your drone, DSLR, GoPro, and more. This dock can store hundreds of hours of 4K footage and hundreds of thousands of raw images.

The LaCie 2big Thunderbolt 3 Dock includes a USB-C cable and an external power supply. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year warranty.

Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are only supported when Apple's Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is used with systems running macOS 10.12 Sierra or later.

Can i daisy-chain with older 2big dock?
Asked by: Nelson
It is possible to daisy chain the LaCie 16TB 2big Dock 2-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array (Black), B&H # LASTLG160004, with an older LaCie 2big Dock as long as it has Thunderbolt 3 or newer. If it has only USB, it is also possible to daisy chain, but it would need to be the last device on the chain.

Anyone happens to know how to configure the dock so it doesn't constantly power the external hard drive (LaCie d2 in my case) plugged into its front USB port when the computer is off? With my iMac shut off, my d2 stays on, although the front led is not lit as you can physically feel the drive spinning and the enclosure is warm to the touch. I couldn't find this in LaCie's literature or anywhere online.
Asked by: Filip
Unfortunately the USB port on the front of the LaCie 16TB 2big Dock 2-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array is a pass-through connection directly to your computer, but power for the port comes from the LaCie 2big's power supply. As such, any drives connected to this port will be receiving power as long as this power supply is connected.
