LaCie d2 SATA II 3Gbits

250GB, 320GB, 500GB

UNMATCHED SPEED UP TO 3Gbits/s

HIGH CAPACITY MEETS HIGH PERFORMANCE

Available in a variety of high capacities up to 500GB, the new

LaCie d2 SATA II 3Gbits provides the fastest high-bandwidth

interface transfer rate available at 3Gbits/s. This storage

solution is engineered for professionals working with data

intensive storage applications requiring the highest speeds.

Perfect for digital audio/video editing and enterprise servers,

this easy-to-use drive is the ultimate upgrade for your

multimedia workstation.

THE CHOICE FOR AUDIO/VIDEO PROS

Because of the increased bandwidth provided by the SATA II

interface, this drive is well suited for a variety of professional

applications, including large-scale backup, video editing and

powering RAID 0 and RAID 1 projects. With a data transfer rate

of up to 85MB/s, it’s perfect for high-end video workstations,

and small server and network environments. It also features

rotational speeds of up to 7,200 rpm and a 16MB cache size,

making it one of the fastest, most advanced storage solutions

available for digital video professionals.

RIDE THE FASTEST WAVE: SATA II

Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) II marks the

highest rung on the evolutionary ladder of SATA technology.

SATA II 3Gbits can deliver data at 300MB/s - twice as fast as its

SATA predecessor and more than twice as fast as Parallel ATA/

IDE. This advantage makes it ideal for speed demanding users,

especially when using several d2 SATA II 3Gbits drives in RAID

0. SATA II technology boasts easy installation and conﬁguration,

improved reliability, a simpliﬁed structure, seamless integration

and improved cable and external eSATA connectors.

EXPERT DESIGN FOR EXPERT USE

This drive’s design naturally dissipates internal drive heat –

drawing it away from the internal drive toward the external

casing, keeping it safe and prolonging its life and reliability.

This feature allows the 250GB and 320GB drives to operate

safely and quietly without a fan. The 500GB drive comes with

an advanced “smart fan” that runs on the quietest setting pos-

sible to minimize noise. Offering versatile conﬁguration, it can

be stacked, stood upright or rack-mounted to save desk space.
