HARD DISK HEAT MANAGEMENT

Heat Dissipation Design

This LaCie product's metal body is ideal for naturally dissipating internal drive heat. Its unique design actually

draws heat away from the internal drive toward the external casing. The large surface area of the heat sink

casing absorbs internal heat and dissipates it, keeping the drive safe and prolonging its life and reliability.

As a consequence, it is normal that the external casing is warm to the touch. Please make sure that

the vent on the back-bezel is not obstructed and that there is a natural airflow across the casing.

Upright, Stack & Rackmount Configuration

Heat dissipation is maximized when this LaCie product is in the upright position. When stacking LaCie products,

please remember to attach the included rubber feet (if included) on the under side of your drives. This will allow

for some airflow between your drives so that the heat dissipation can work effectively. LaCie does not

recommend stacking or racking more than three drives on top of each other, especially if these drives are

turned on simultaneously.
