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.
The folks over at G-tech have just published a series of videos highlighting the features, performance and workflows of their latest and greatest Thunderbolt 3 based storage.
World renowned surf photographer Todd Glaser shares how Lacie hard drives streamline his workflow. With the help of Rugged drives and 6big Thunderbolt 3, he can protect his footage from the elements, upload and edit content lightning fast, and centralize tons of files into one space.
It’s tempting to compare storage based only on size, capacity and speed. But there’s much more to it than that. Take the G|SPEED SHUTTLE XL from G-Technology, for example.
