What is the LaCie 1big Dock?
The LaCie 1big Dock is an all-in-one desktop storage docking station with Thunderbolt 3, available from 8TB to 30TB.
For demanding studio workflows, LaCie desktop and RAID drives deliver massive capacity and fast performance. Designed for heavy post-production work, options like the d2, 1big Dock and 2big RAID provide scalable, secure storage with advanced connectivity — ideal for managing, editing and archiving your most complex creative projects.
The 1big Dock SSD Pro variant swaps the spinning mechanism for flash, giving you the sustained throughput needed for real-time editing of high-resolution footage rather than archive-speed transfers.
When working with massive media files, speed and reliability matter. LaCie external drives feature fast USB-C, Thunderbolt and NVMe technology for seamless data transfer, plus built-in backup and encryption tools so your data stays safe, accessible and workflow-ready.
Why choose a Thunderbolt 3 dock over a plain drive?
Three reasons the 1big Dock earns its desk space in an edit suite.
One Cable to the Laptop
Thunderbolt 3 carries storage, display and peripherals over a single connection, so docking and undocking a laptop is one plug rather than five.
Built-In Card Readers
Ingest cards directly at the dock rather than hunting for a separate reader — the first step of every shoot-to-edit workflow happens in one place.
Swappable Drive
The single-bay design means the drive itself can be swapped or upgraded, so the dock outlives any one capacity point.
How does the 1big Dock handle ingest in an edit suite?
A single-bay Thunderbolt 3 dock built to sit under a monitor and handle every ingest.

It depends on your workflow. Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer faster data transfer speeds, making them ideal for real-time editing, quick backups and working with high-resolution files. They’re also more portable. External hard drives provide more storage at a lower cost, great for archiving large libraries or long-term storage. Many professionals use both — SSDs for active work, hard drives for backup.
Setting up your Seagate external hard drive or SSD is quick and easy. Just connect the drive to your computer using the included USB or Thunderbolt cable — your device should recognize it automatically. For optimal performance you may want to reformat the drive to match your operating system (exFAT for cross-platform, NTFS for Windows or APFS for macOS). You can also install Seagate Toolkit software for backups and management.
Yes, most Seagate external hard drives and SSDs are compatible with both Mac and Windows. Many come preformatted in exFAT, which works with both systems. If your drive is formatted specifically for one OS (like NTFS for Windows or APFS for Mac), you can reformat it to suit your needs. Seagate also offers software tools to help with formatting, file transfers and cross-platform use.
Seagate and LaCie external hard drives and SSDs feature fast USB-C, Thunderbolt and NVMe technology for seamless data transfer, with options ranging from 500GB to 48TB, plus built-in backup and encryption tools.
