Thunderbolt 3 features and support
Thunderbolt 3 technology provides the fastest data and high-end video transfers over a single, versatile
connector. While previous generations of Thunderbolt technology offered impressive transfer rates up to
20Gb/s bi-directional, Thunderbolt 3 doubles the potential up to 40Gb/s bi-directional when connected to
other Thunderbolt 3 devices. Further, Thunderbolt 3 gives priority to the video stream, apportioning the
required bandwidth for playback. This is a critical advantage when working with high-end video and 3D
graphics.
Note: Any non-Thunderbolt 3 devices must be connected to the end of the daisy chain.

Thunderbolt 3 is an update of Thunderbolt 2 technology. While Thunderbolt 2 technology continues to
provide impressive transfer rates up to 20Gb/s bi-directional, Thunderbolt 3 offers improved performance
with a potential up to 40Gb/s bi-directional. Thunderbolt 3 technology also gives you greater flexibility when
using video and data, assigning greater throughput to the stream that carries the heavier load. You must have
a computer that supports Thunderbolt 3 to take advantage of the updates in performance and the intelligent
sharing of bandwidth.
Similar to Thunderbolt 2 technology, a single Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain can have up to seven devices,
including the computer. For example, you can daisy chain five LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3 enclosures on the
same line with a display.
How to daisy chain
Connect the cable to one of the interface ports on the back of LaCie d2 and to your computer. The
additional port on LaCie d2 can be used to daisy chain compatible Thunderbolt 3 peripherals, such as hard

About file system formats
NTFS: since it is the native file system for Windows, volumes created in NTFS are read and write with
computers running Windows. Mac OS can read NTFS volumes but cannot natively write to them.
Mac OS Extended (HFS+): the native hard drive file system for Mac. Windows cannot natively read or write
to HFS+ (journaled) hard drives.
exFAT: generally compatible with Mac and Windows. exFAT is not a journaled file system which means it can
be more susceptible to data corruption when errors occur or the drive is not disconnected properly from
the computer.
FAT32: compatible with Mac and Windows. However, FAT32 is a legacy file system designed for low
capacity hard drives and it is not recommended for modern hard drives or operating systems. A FAT32
partition can reach up to 32GB when formatted on a Windows PC.
How to choose the file system format
Use NTFS if:
…the storage device is connected to Windows PCs.
Use HFS+ if:
…the storage device is connected to Macs.
You can use exFAT if:
…the storage device is shared between Mac and Windows computers.
Use FAT32 if:
…the storage device is connected to older Windows and Mac computers. FAT32 is not recommended for
modern operating systems and computers.
