High Capacity Meets High Performance
Available in a variety of high capacities up to 500GB, the
new LaCie d2 eSATA II 3Gbits provides the fastest high-
bandwidth interface transfer rate available at 3Gbits/s. This
storage solution is engineered for professionals working with
data intensive storage applications requiring the highest
speeds. Perfect for digital audio/video editing and enterprise
servers, this easy-to-use drive is the ultimate upgrade for your
multimedia workstation.
Ride the Fastest Wave: SATA II
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) II marks the
highest rung on the evolutionary ladder of SATA technology.
SATA II 3Gbits can deliver data at 300MB/s—twice as fast as
its SATA predecessor and more than twice as fast as Parallel
ATA/IDE. This advantage makes it ideal for speed demanding
users, especially when using several d2 eSATA II 3Gbits drives
in RAID 0. SATA II technology boasts easy installation and
configuration, improved reliability, a simplified structure, seamless
integration and improved cable and external eSATA connectors.
The Choice for Audio/Video Pros
Because of the increased bandwidth provided by the SATA II
interface, this drive is well suited for a variety of professional
applications, including large-scale backup, video editing and
powering RAID 0 and RAID 1 projects. With a data transfer
rate of up to 80-90MB/s, it’s perfect for high-end video
workstations, and small server and network environments.
It also features rotational speeds of up to 7,200 rpm and a
16MB cache size, making it one of the fastest, most advanced
storage solutions available for digital video professionals.
Expert Design for Expert Use
This drive’s design naturally dissipates internal drive heat—
drawing it away from the internal drive toward the external
casing, keeping it safe and prolonging its life and reliability.
This feature allows the 320GB drive to operate safely and
quietly without a fan. The 500GB drive comes with an
advanced “smart fan” that runs on the quietest setting possible
to minimize noise. Offering versatile configuration, it can be
stacked, stood upright or rack-mounted to save desk space.
