Award-Winning d2 Design
The d2 aluminum design draws heat away from the
internal disk toward the external casing, which absorbs and
dissipates heat for natural cooling. The Big Disk Extreme+
also includes a thermoregulated, progressive smart fan,
which keeps the drive safe and prolongs its life and
reliability while ensuring quiet operation. Its compact, sturdy
body conforms to your work environment and intensive
use; it can be stacked, rackmounted or stood upright for
maximum versatility.
