4.1 การเชื่อมต่อทางกายภาพ

1. Connect the power supply to the LaCie 2big Dock and then to a power outlet.
2. Connect the Thunderbolt 3 cable from your computer to one of the Thunderbolt ports on the LaCie 2big Dock. Alternatively, use the USB 3.1 cable for USB-A connections.
3. The device will power on automatically. The front LED will illuminate.

4.2 Software Installation and RAID Configuration

Upon initial connection, your operating system may prompt you to install necessary drivers or software. It is recommended to install the LaCie Toolkit software to manage the device, including RAID configuration.

• RAID 0 (การแบ่งสตริป): Optimizes for maximum speed and capacity. Data is spread across both drives, offering faster read/write performance. If one drive fails, all data is lost.
• RAID 1 (การมิเรอร์): Optimizes for data redundancy. Data is duplicated on both drives. If one drive fails, data remains accessible on the other. Capacity is halved.

Use the LaCie Toolkit's step-by-step wizard to configure your preferred RAID level. This process will erase all data on the drives, so ensure no critical data is present before proceeding.
