The MacBook Pro is a wonderful laptop, but its lack of ports are a hardship for some. While you can leverage dongles and adapters, that is hardly elegant. Luckily, since Apple’s laptop supports Thunderbolt 3, a compatible single-cable dock can transform it into a quality desktop experience.
Today, LaCie announces an absolutely genius such solution, called “2big Dock. ” This Neil Poulton-designed docking station offers DisplayPort for connecting a monitor (resolutions up to 4K UHD), plus the ability to charge the laptop using the same cable used for connectivity. It also has a USB Type-A port, Type-C port, plus full-sized SD and Compact Flash slots. The real magic is that it also doubles as a storage drive, offering large capacities of 12TB, 16TB or 20TB!
“Creative professionals juggle massive amounts of data and tight timelines, so capacity and speed are critical. With up to 20TB of storage — a twenty five percent increase over the previous version — the LaCie 2big Dock offers professionals enough space for large video and photo libraries including up to 650 hours of 4K 30fps footage or 200,000 raw images.
