Q: Can I attach my USB-C hard drive to a Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain?
A: Yes, it is possible to protect the hard drive or individual folders and files with a password. There are
many third-party solutions for password protection. However, LaCie cannot guarantee them since we do not
test third-party applications.
Some versions of Windows have a built-in utility called Bitlocker that can protect hard drives with a
password. For more information about Bitlocker, consult
Microsoft's support
documentation.
Q: Can I encrypt my hard drive?
A: Yes, the hard drive can be encrypted. There are many third-party solutions for encryption. However,
LaCie cannot guarantee them since we do not test third-party applications.

Problem: I'm receiving file transfer error messages.
Q: Did you get an "Error -50" message while copying to a FAT32 volume?
A: When copying files or folders from a computer to a FAT32 volume, certain characters in the names cannot
be copied. These characters include, but are not limited to: ? < > / \ :
Check your files and folders to ensure that these characters are not in the names.
If this is a recurring problem or you cannot find files with incompatible characters, consider reformatting the
drive to NTFS (Windows users) or HFS+ (Mac users). See
Formatting and
Partitioning.
Problem: DisplayPort to HDMI display does not work.
Q: Why does my HDMI display not work correctly when connected to the DisplayPort expansion port?
A: The DisplayPort 1.2 on your LaCie 2big Dock does not support DP++ to HDMI adapters. If you do not
have a DP 1.2 to HDMI adapter but still want to connect to an HDMI display, it's recommended that you daisy
chain your LaCie 2big Dock to the display using a USB-C to HDMI adapter (not included). This configuration is
only possible if the LaCie 2big Dock is connected to your computer via a Thunderbolt cable.
