1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the new LaCie d2 Quadra with qua-
druple Interface. Combining universal compatibility with high
throughput rates and mammoth storage capacity, the Quadra is
ideally suited for audio/video pros working with large amounts
of DV and SD video or professional level 2D/3D imaging proj-
ects, or high speed data backup.
With its four interfaces, the d2 Quadra is universally compat-
ible with almost any computer and can be daisy-chained with
peripherals or expanded via FireWire.
Engineered to fit seamlessly in to any work environment, the
LaCie d2 Quadra can be stood vertically on the LaCie Drive
Stand (included), placed in the LaCie Desk Rack (sold sepa-
rately) or incorporated into standard 19” computer equipment
racks with the LaCie Rackmount Kit (sold separately).
The improved passive heat dissipation design by Neil Poulton
provides natural cooling by increasing the surface area over
which heat can leave the d2 Quadra for better thermal regula-
tion and longer life.
