The LaCie d2 Quadra is a professional-quality hard drive, offering superior performance and flexibility compared to most models. This 2TB hard disk features a sturdy aluminum heatsink designed to be placed in a variety of positions. It features four ports with fast transfer rates as well as compatibility with both Mac and Windows computers. Combine that with the application shortcut button and you've got unrivaled convenience.

The leader of the pack

You might think that all external hard drives are basically the same and be tempted to pick whichever one looks the coolest or costs the least. However, the fact is: they're not. LaCie's d2 Quadra hard disk stands out from the crowd when it comes to quality, performance, and versatility. Designed for professional use, this rugged drive features a sturdy aluminum frame that doubles as a heat sink. With 60 percent more heat dissipation than standard frames, you can count on this drive running cool. To avoid overheating, most external hard disks have only one or two positions they can be placed in. With the d2 Quadra, your options are just about limitless - — it can sit horizontally, upright, stacked horizontally, or with an additional kit, mounted in a component rack. To connect to your computer, you have a variety of options. Choose from eSATA, FireWire 800, and USB 3.0 (backwards-compatible with USB 2.0), with cables included for each. The variety of connection options aren't the only versatile feature of the d2 Quadra, either. This 7200-rpm HDD is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, and even includes backup software for both. For added convenience, this LaCie hard drive also features a shortcut button so you can quickly launch back-up applications on many systems. And it comes with a 3-year warranty. The LaCie d2 Quadra is proof positive that all hard drives are not created equally.
