from the internal components. In addition to being exceptionally quiet, the Noctua cooling fan is temperature
controlled, which guarantees optimal heat management by adjusting the rotational speed for the
environment. Additionally, the LaCie 6big/LaCie 12big enclosure's metal casing dissipates heat from the
hard drives, keeping them safe and prolonging their life. Since LaCie's unique design draws heat away from
the internal hard drives, the external casing is warm to the touch after extended use.
Posion and stacking
Always make certain to place LaCie 6big/LaCie 12big on a flat, even surface designed to support the heat
output and airflow of a professional hard disk enclosure. For proper heat dissipation, LaCie 6big/LaCie 12big
is designed to stand on its rubber feet, situated on the bottom of the enclosure. DO NOT place the
enclosure on its side when it is powered on.
DO NOT stack multiple enclosures on top of each other. Stacking two or more enclosures poses a severe
risk that the devices will fall. Also, DO NOT stack other hard drives, enclosures or equipment on top of the
LaCie 6big Thunderbolt 3 and LaCie 12big Thunderbolt 3.
The warranty for your LaCie 6big Thunderbolt 3 and LaCie 12big Thunderbolt 3 is voided if you:
Stack LaCie 6big Thunderbolt 3 and/or LaCie 12big Thunderbolt 3 enclosures.
Stack other hard drives, enclosures or equipment on top of the LaCie 6big Thunderbolt 3 and/or LaCie
12big Thunderbolt 3 enclosures.
Important info: The wide exhaust chamber on the rear of LaCie 6big/LaCie 12big allows for
enhanced airflow. Make sure that it is not obstructed and that there is a natural airflow across the
casing.
