Daisy Chain and Power Delivery
Use the enclosure's two Thunderbolt 3 ports for:
Direct connection to a computer that is compatible with Thunderbolt 3.
Charging the battery for compatible USB-C devices. Bolt 3 must be connected to a power source to
charge devices.
Daisy chaining with devices and displays that are compatible with Thunderbolt 3.
Daisy chain
Thunderbolt 3 is an update of Thunderbolt 2 technology. While Thunderbolt 2 technology continues to
provide impressive transfer rates of up to 20Gb/s bi-directional, Thunderbolt 3 offers improved
performance with a potential of up to 40Gb/s bi-directional. Thunderbolt also gives you the same flexibility
when using video and data, assigning greater throughput to the stream that carries the heavier load. You must
have a computer that supports Thunderbolt 3 in order to take advantage of the updates in perfomance and
the intelligent sharing of bandwidth.
Similar to earlier generations of Thunderbolt technology, a single Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain can have up to
seven devices, including the computer. For example, you can daisy chain five Bolt 3 enclosures on the same
line with a display. While there are many displays with USB-C ports, most do not include support for
Thunderbolt 3. Therefore, when connecting a display to the daisy chain, make certain it is the last device in
the chain.
You can also add a USB 3.1 device to the end of a Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain. For example: your computer,
two Bolt 3 enclosures and a USB 3.1 hard drive with a USB-C port. A standard USB 3.1 device must be
placed at the end of the daisy chain.
How to daisy chain
Connect the cable to one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports on the back of LaCie Bolt 3 and to your computer. Bolt
3’s additional port can be used to daisy chain compatible Thunderbolt 3 peripherals, such as hard drives,
