Because it uses a standard connector, it works with modern Mac and Windows systems. However, it requires an external power adapter; it is not bus-powered.

Enterprise-Class Drive Inside

A Seagate IronWolf Pro drive sits inside this LaCie d2 Professional. It supports up to 300 TB/year workloads. So it suits video editing, photo archives, and server backup. The 7200 RPM speed helps maintain steady read and write performance. Because it is an enterprise drive, it offers 24×7 reliability.

USB-C Future Compatibility

The LaCie d2 Professional external hard drive 20 TB 7200 RPM USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Black uses a USB Type-C connector. It connects to USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports on UK PCs and Macs. Because it is a standard interface, you can use existing cables. However, you should confirm your computer has a USB Type-C port.

Rigid Aluminium Enclosure

The housing is forged from a single sheet of aluminium. This design provides rigidity and helps dissipate heat. So the drive stays cool during long transfers. The enclosure also reduces vibration. Because it is durable, it suits busy studio environments.

Quiet Cooling System

A whisper-quiet fan pulls heat away from the HDD. The aluminium body aids passive cooling. So the drive runs fast and healthy without loud noise. Because the fan is low-noise, it fits quiet offices and edit suites.

iPad and Mac Compatibility

You can connect this drive to an iPad with a USB-C port. This adds storage for mobile workflows. It also works with macOS and Windows. Because it supports both platforms, it suits mixed environments. However, you should confirm your iPad model supports external drives.
