Are you only using a portable eternal hard drive as a back up? DON’T! Consider using raid system like this LaCie 2Big Dock Thunderbolt 3 RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks).
More than Storage, 2big Dock simplifies and centralizes your desktop by directly connecting to your laptop and other devices.
I’ve been talking about storage a lot lately both privately among friends and here on Imaging Resource. Of all the members of the IR team, I’m probably the one who compiles the most data the fastest thanks mainly to my insistence on shooting 4Kp60 whenever possible (I love me some high quality, slow motion goodness).
The latest in the 2big series of external hard drives is soon to be shipping from LaCie. After an initial delay (the new drives were originally supposed to ship over the summer), the company is now ready to release their latest creation upon the world. The brand new 2big Dock, as LaCie is calling it, sports Thunderbolt 3 making it fully plug-n-play compatible with the latest MacBook Pros and capable of transfer speeds up to 40Gb/s.
In this video I review the LaCie 2Big 20TB Thunderbolt Hard Drive and compare it to my Samsung SDD and Western Digital USB 3.0 HDD.
Nervous brides and grooms. Unpredictable weather. Long waits in airports. Fidgety young children who aren’t in the mood to strike a pose.
As a destination-wedding photographer, Zabrina Deng has seen it all—and much of it is out of her control. The one thing she absolutely can control? Her data.
Earlier this fall, LaCie sent me a LaCie 20TB Dock 2-BAY RAID System to use and implement within my video-editing workflow. I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing connective power it added to my editing suite.
I like storage. I really do. Most of the projects I work on are shot in 4K and beyond, so storage is important. It doesn’t help that directors don’t have much incentive to say “cut” as they might have done when they shot on film. A recent project tied up nearly 18 terabytes of storage during finishing.
Setting up the LaCie Thunderbolt 3 2big Dock is easy–in fact, it’s mostly just unbox and plug in. LaCie also offers some RAID manager software that you can install to help manage the drive arrays.
