Today's laptops are both powerful and portable, but their sleek design means fewer ports and memory card slots, leading to the need for more dongles. Enter the LaCie 1big Dock! It's not just an external hard drive; it's a multi-functional powerhouse. This device allows you to safely store and back up large amounts of footage. It can also charge your phone and USB devices, help you transfer files, connect professional 4K monitors, and power your laptop - all through a single cable connected to your laptop, offering amazing Thunderbolt 3 performance.
With its SD and CF card readers, ports, and more, the 1big Dock lets you directly ingest footage, charge devices, connect 4K monitors, daisy chain additional drives, and store your creative portfolio. You'll enjoy powerful Thunderbolt 3 performance and the reliability of a Seagate IronWolf Pro enterprise-class hard drive. It's like having your own creative headquarters.
The power pass-through feature is super convenient. Just connect your laptop's power supply to the 1big Dock's Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain port for up to 70W of power delivery. Even when you're not using your charger, you can still get up to 45W of power from the 1big (up to 30W if you're simultaneously daisy chaining other USB-C devices). This ensures you stay powered up during your creative work.
Inside the 1big Dock is a Seagate IronWolf Pro enterprise-class drive. It's designed for high-speed 7200-RPM performance, smooth power management, large capacity, and 24/7 reliability, supporting up to 300TB/year workloads. And it comes with a five-year warranty for your peace of mind.
