There is a saying circulating in the video circle, "There are only two kinds of hard disks in the world, one is LaCie and the other is the other." This shows LaCie's strong inner-circle influence. However, the greater the influence, the more problems will be faced, such as the use of aspects. In order not to let more small partners suffer the same pain, Xiaobian has summarized the questions and made corresponding answers. Here, I sincerely hope that this article will be helpful to LaCie fans.
1. What is the LaCie hard disk interface and factory standard cable?
Second, what is the difference between Thunderbolt3, USB3.1, and Type-C?
In fact, Thunderbolt 3 and USB3.1 are both data transfer protocols, and the difference between different transmission standards is mainly in the transfer rate. Take USB 3.1, which is also divided into USB3.1 Gen1 and USB 3.1 Gen2, USB 3.1 Gen1 has a maximum transfer rate of 5Gb/s, and USB3.1Gen2 has a maximum transfer rate of 10Gb/s. Type-C is an interface specification, in addition to Type-A, Type-B and other interface specifications.
One of the reasons why users easily confuse Thunderbolt 3 with USB Type-C is that both cables use type-C interface specifications and look almost identical. In order to better distinguish between the two, the latest Thunderbolt3 data line will carry a lightning logo.
Although Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C have the same interface, they are paired with different transmission protocols, namely Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1. Despite differences in transport protocols, Thunderbolt 3 and USBType-C can share a Type-C interface. For example, if the user connects from the USB Type-C interface of the laptop to the Thunderbolt 3 interface of the display, it can also be used normally. The only difference is that due to the bandwidth limitations of USB 3.1Gen2, the transmission bandwidth will be reduced from 40Gb/s to 10Gb/s.
3. What are the different LaCie hard drive warranty and data recovery services?
d2 and big series hard drives, providing a five-year warranty with data recovery services, of which data recovery is free once. RuggedThunderbolt USB-C, RRuggedRAIDShuttle, Rugged RAIDPro, DJICopilot, Portable SSD offer a three-year warranty with data recovery services, where data recovery is free once. RuggedUSB-c, RuggedSECURE provides a two-year warranty and data recovery service, of which data recovery is free once.
Other hard drives do not offer free data recovery services. It should be noted that after the LaCie storage fails, it is only replaced and not repaired.
Fourth, please describe the main features and usage scenarios of Lace products in one or two sentences
5. What are the differences between USB2.0, USB3.0, USB3.1, and Thunderbolt3 interface rates? What are the advantages of Thunderbolt3?
As shown in the figure below, the rate of each interface can be known at a glance. Among them, thunderbolt3 interface speed is as high as 40Gbps, far ahead.
Compared to USB3.1, Thunderbolt3 supports faster speeds with two-way communication up to 40Gbps; larger pixels that can drive two 4K@60hz displays; more power, up to 100W charging faster; and more protocols that can connect multiple interfaces, such as Thunderbolt3, USB, DisplayPort, PCIe.
6. What is the corresponding read and write speed of different models of LaCie storage?
It should be noted that the final read and write speed of the storage is affected by both the disk array and the interface rate. If the speed of the hard disk array is greater than the speed of the interface, the interface will become the bottleneck of the entire system, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate interface. For example, LaCie 12big, if the user uses a USB3.1 interface to connect, the actual reading speed will not reach 2600MB/s.
7. Does LaCie D2&big series storage support multiplayer use at the same time?
Storage that can be accessed by multiple people at the same time belongs to the NAS system, which has its own exclusive operating system. Obviously, the LaCie D2 & big series of storage cannot be accessed by multiple people at the same time, and can only be directly connected to a computer at the same time.
LaCie storage, how many models support hardware AES-256 encryption?
LaCie Rugged RAIDShuttle,LaCie RuggedSECURE
9. Does LaCie Storage support windows and Apple systems to use at the same time? It can be used on both Windows systems and Apple systems, what format do you need to format it to use?
LaCie storage, Windows system supports NTFS format, Apple system supports HFS+ format, if you want to use it on Windows and IOS system at the same time, you need to format it in exFAT format.
What value can LaCiebig storage bring to video customers?
