Heat Dissipation Design
The Little Big Disk Quadra’s metal body naturally dissipates
internal drive heat. Its unique design draws heat away from
the internal drive toward the external casing. The large sur-
face area of the heat sink casing absorbs internal heat and
dissipates it, keeping the drive safe and prolonging its life and
reliability.
As a consequence, it is normal that the external
casing is warm to the touch.
Maximize Airflow
While the Little Big Disk Quadra can be used in the horizontal
position, heat dissipation is maximized when the Little Big Disk
Quadra is in the upright position, with ample airflow on all
sides of the casing. LaCie recommends the use of the included
foot to maximize airflow around the Little Big Disk Quadra.
ImpOrTANT INfO:
Do not stack Little Big Disk Quadra
drives on top of each other.
