The LaCie d2 includes a backup software suite and is compatible with both Time Machine and Windows Backup. In addition, its dual Thunderbolt 2 ports support daisy chaining up to six devices using a single Thunderbolt port on a computer. Inside the new d2 is a Seagate 7200 RPM professional hard disk (up to 6TB), which is quoted to boast upwards of 220MB/s in sequential transfer rates, making it ideal for users looking to store larger files and for those with archiving projects. Users can stand the d2 vertically, stack multiple products horizontally, or have it installed in a 19" rack using a kit from LaCie. LaCie has designed the device to easily integrate into already existing professional environments due to its space-saving build. The d2 also features a new, slick looking all-aluminum unibody enclosure with a vertical position for reduced footprint and reduced noise and vibration, both of which media professionals look for as the device is meant to be displayed by workstations. This is a serious hardware bonus for users, as it allows for significantly more flexibility with both performance and capacity elements within the same housing. With this performance potential, LaCie is certainly correct in specifically targeting the d2 for audio, photo, and video professionals with resource-heavy workloads.
