Overview
Mac and PC users who need a large desk drive get the LaCie desktop drive, a fast-spinning disk in an enclosure with both Thunderbolt and USB ports. It is built to stay on a desk rather than travel in a bag.
Dual connections are the case for it, linking to older Thunderbolt Macs or any USB computer. The listing omits cable contents, power details and warranty.
Who it's for
Photographers and video editors at a fixed desk get large storage with a fast spinning disk. Travelers need a bus-powered portable drive instead.
Pros and cons
- Thunderbolt and USB connections
- Fast spinning disk
- Included cables not listed
- Desktop size, not portable
Performance notes
Throughput is set by the disk itself: a fast spin rate gives steady transfers, and the interface rarely limits a single spinning drive. Thunderbolt and USB give similar results for most file copies.
