    HARD DISK HEAT MANAGEMENT Heat Dissipation Design The Thunderbolt Series enclosures feature metal bodies that dissipate drive heat. The large surface area of the heat sink casing absorbs all internal heat, keeping the drives safe and prolonging their life. Since LaCie's unique design draws heat away from the internal drives, the external casing will be warm to the touch after extended use.
  • Page 8 Users interested in placing two 2big enclosures in a specially designed rack may visit LaCie for further information. When placing the enclosures in a rack, LaCie recommends that you allow for adequate airflow so that the units do not overheat. Introduction...
  • Page 9 Important info: Do not stack more than two 2big enclosures. Doing so will void the warranty. Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series Heat dissipation is maximized when the Little Big Disk enclosure rests on its stand in a vertical position. Please make certain that it has ample space on all sides of the casing for proper airflow.
