It functions as a complete solution for data protection, and comes with advanced backup software with computer recovery options: Genie Backup Manager Pro™ for Windows® and Intego Backup Manager Pro™ for Mac® users. The sturdy, aluminum heat sink design—with 60% more surface area for heat dissipation—keeps it quiet and safe. This versatile solution offers various space-saving configurations—upright, horizontal, stacked, or rack-mounted. The LaCie Shortcut Button on the front launches any backup or library application of your choice in just one push.   Design by Neil Poulton
