(Oh yes it does!) - There's a constant whine from the unit when idle, that I think is mostly from the cooling fan, but may be the hard drive itself spinning, or quite possibly both. It never sleeps. It never spins down and shuts the **** up. The usage pattern I have is that I may be using the computer it's connected to for hours without needing it, but then I go away and that computer becomes a server where I'm using content on that drive remotely. So, having it shut up when not being used would be nice. It may be macOS (Monterey)'s fault. I've told Spotlight to not index it, I've told it it can put idle disks to sleep, I've made sure nothing user-visible is looking at it. And yet, every few seconds, there's an access (by the sounds of it), and that's probably keeping it awake. If it is the fan, it's not as automatic as it's made out to be, as even when the drive is idle and the room it's in is frankly chilly, it keeps going. The only option is to actually eject the volume; that works, but then must be manually remounted using disk utility when I want it to be available for use. Apart from that it works great. It's just that it's almost as insomniac as I am. (I don't have an eject icon.) Edit: Naturally minutes after posting I figured it out. Clearly I needed to embarrass myself by making a public complaint first. Edited review in case it helps someone coming after: It does sleep. The thing that was preventing it sleeping, in my case, was CleanMyMacX, which generally speaking is a good thing, but either its menubar utility or the health monitor daemon was prodding the disk frequently enough to keep it awake. I'd forgotten about it until I ejected then remounted the disk and it offered to delete the trash on it. Disable background monitoring and quit all CleanMyMacX processes, and after a reasonable delay, the drive went to sleep just fine. Watch out for other similar utilities/processes that might be doing that kind of background monitoring, like antivirus tools, etc. At some point I'll get back to trying to figure out how to have CMMX working but not keeping that drive awake, for the time being, it's just disabled entirely. As that was the only problem I was having, added a star to the rating. Review: Excellent - Excellent so far. Doing its job at the moment. I hope it continues, and if it does, I will be over the moon. ## Features - 1big Dock is an external hard drive and laptop docking station for filmmakers looking to centralise their desktop peripherals and store a massive portfolio of work with high-performance Thunderbolt 3 technology - Get 5-in-1 docking power with a built-in USB hub and charging station featuring CF and SD card reader slots, a DisplayPort 1.4 output, and dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy chaining with universal USB compatibility - Enjoy best-in-class speed and reliability with a Seagate IronWolf Pro HDD for the most intensive film projects - Charge a USB-C Mac or other laptop with up to 45W of power through Thunderbolt 3 (up to 30W when daisy chaining other devices) β€” and even up to 80W of power pass through when using a laptop’s power supply - For long-term peace of mind, 1big Dock includes a five-year product warranty with Rescue Data Recovery Services ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08VKL8SH2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 106,466 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 378 in External Hard Drives | | Box Contents | 1Big HDD 18TB, USB cable, The actual capacity may vary. | | Brand Name | Seagate | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 18 | | Color | 1big Dock | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (143) | | Data Transfer Rate | 5000 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 18 TB | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Enclosure Material | Glass | | Form Factor | Portable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03660619040902 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 1.1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 18 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 Type C, USB Docking Station | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Length | 118 Millimetres | | Item Weight | 1700 Grams | | Item Width | 56.3 Millimetres | | Manufacturer | Lacie | | Media Speed | 240 megabytes_per_second | | Model Name | Seagate IronWolf Pro | | Model Number | STHS18000800 | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Durable, portable | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Read Speed | 240 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Business | | UPC | 763649161135 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seagate - **Colour:** 1big Dock - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Digital storage capacity:** 18 TB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard disk interface:** USB 1.1 - **Hard disk size:** 18 TB - **Installation type:** External Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Durable, portable ## Images ![Lacie 1big dock - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71B7gxOiKeL.jpg) ![Lacie 1big dock - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EvBnkp5eL.jpg) ![Lacie 1big dock - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IHtzS2FGL.jpg) ![Lacie 1big dock - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/11v6oB-59KL.jpg) ![Lacie 1big dock - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bC4fxqEdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It. Never. Sleeps. (Oh yes it does!) *by R***M on 24 January 2022* There's a constant whine from the unit when idle, that I think is mostly from the cooling fan, but may be the hard drive itself spinning, or quite possibly both. It never sleeps. It never spins down and shuts the **** up. The usage pattern I have is that I may be using the computer it's connected to for hours without needing it, but then I go away and that computer becomes a server where I'm using content on that drive remotely. So, having it shut up when not being used would be nice. It may be macOS (Monterey)'s fault.

I hope it continues, and if it does, I will be over the moon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working well *by J***D on 25 June 2021* Plus points- it works well, connected to a 27 inch imac (2019), has a 6TB Lacie pro drive attached to its daisy chain thunderbolt connector, and a 4TB drive attached to the USB connection. Given the constraints of a mechanical drive works with reasonable haste. Minus points- much as the 10TB Iron Wolf Nas Pro hard disc it comes with is really good, it's quite loud. Some people point out that access to the hard drive is a bit too easy and can be removed by accident, but I think that as long as you are careful its ok. You have to decide if it is worth the premium over the D2 style but prices on this model were low when I made my purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - LaCie 1big Dock 18TB External Hard Drive HDD Docking Station – Thunderbolt 3 USB 3.1, 7200 RPM Enterprise Class Drives, for Mac and PC Desktop, Data Redundancy (STHS18000800) - Highwings 8K 10K 4K HDMI Cable 48Gbps 6.6FT/2M, Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable Braided Cord-4K@120Hz 8K@60Hz, DTS:X, HDCP 2.2 & 2.3, HDR 10 Compatible with Roku TV/PS5/HDTV/Blu-ray - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/451367380-lacie-1big-dock](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/451367380-lacie-1big-dock) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
