LaCie 1big Dock SSD Pro: Best In Class Performance And Docking For Cinema Workflows
By Jamie G
The LaCie 1big Dock SSD Pro is designed for filmmakers and DITs working with cinema-grade video resolutions of up to 8K. The 1big Dock SSD Pro, available in 2TB and 4TB, is a professional video editing storage solution and docking station.
Professional Photographer, Manuel Delgado, reviews the LaCie 1big Dock SSD Pro and compares it to its “little brother” the LaCie 1big dock in his latest review with The-Digital-Picture.com. Check out some of the highlights from Delgado’s review.
“1big Dock Pro: A perfect solution for cinematographers
Manuel Delgado
With the 1big Dock Pro, LaCie is clearly targeting users who need a powerful SSD. Especially for particularly data-hungry applications, demanding users can benefit. For example, the premium SSD can easily be used for 6K or even 8K video projects.”
“What is the difference between them?
Manuel Delgado
For professional users, the 1big Dock SSD Pro comes complete with two Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy-chaining up to six devices and device charging as well as a USB 3.0 port for docking or charging mobile devices. A DisplayPort 1.4 connector caters for monitors up to 8K resolution at 60hz, while card slots for professional media will accept CFexpress, CFast 2.0, and SD cards.
The 1big Dock gives them all the same connectivity, DisplayPort 1.4, and SD card capabilities of the SSD Pro version, but with CompactFlash card slots instead of CFexpress and CFast 2.0, that will suit both semi-pro and professional users alike. This alternative has an HDD core.”
“It seems that 8K is approaching faster than we could imagine, and we should prepare for it. But shooting in 8K does not mean only that we have to upgrade our cameras. Our whole workflow needs to get nice lifting as well. That includes our cards, our editing stations, and, last but not least, our hard drives.”
