Review on ๐Ÿ’พ LaCie 2big Dock RAID 8TB External Hard Drive with SD Card CF Card Slots, for Mac and PC Data Redundancy Thunderbolt 3 USB-C USB 3.0, 1 Month Adobe CC, Data Recovery (STGB8000400) by Rebecca Porter

Difficult to set up and requires quality cables

Love this drive - works well and is fast enough for video editing on a Mac Pro. It was a bit fiddly to set up and the instructions weren't the best. We strongly recommend reading the entire manual online. Uses a Lightning cable to USB-C adapter. Tried using a dedicated USB-C cable first (from Apple) but that didn't work and the drive was dead. Almost sent back - thought the power supply was defective (it has no light), then tried the dedicated Lightning- to Lightning cable and the Lightning to USB-C adapter and it started right away. After that there are no problems, but formatting RAID 1 requires downloading the Lacie application. Again a bit tricky but worth the effort
