Heat Dissipation Design
The LaCie d2 Network’s metal body is ideal for naturally dissipating
internal drive heat. Its unique design actually draws heat away from
the internal drives toward the external casing. This feature takes heat
away from the internal drive, keeping it safe and prolonging its life
and reliability. As a consequence, it is normal for the external casing
to be hot to the touch.
Vertical, Horizontal & Rackmount
Heat dissipation is maximized when the drive is in the vertical posi-
tion. If you have several LaCie drives stacked on each other, please
remember to attach the included rubber feet on the under side of
your drives. This will allow for some airflow between your drives so
that the heat dissipation can work effectively. LaCie does not recom-
mend stacking or racking more than three drives on top of each
other, especially if these drives are turned ON simultaneously.
