The LaCie 2big Quadra is the most complete 2-disk RAID solution for digital libraries, creative pro and office workstations that need storage/backup capacity, speed, and advanced data protection. It's easy to use, and comes with two extractable, lockable and hot-swappable disks in RAID 1 mode. With burst transfer rates as high as 165MB/s** (eSATA 3Gb/s) in RAID 0, the 2big Quadra is ideal for high speed-demanding applications like audio/video projects (DV and SD video playback or 2D/3D imaging). It functions as a complete solution for data protection, and comes with advanced backup software with computer recovery options: Genie Backup Manager ProTM for Windows® and Intego Backup Manager ProTM for Mac® users. The sturdy, aluminum heat sink design-with 60% more surface area for heat dissipation-keeps it quiet and safe.

Quick Install Guide
LaCie Utilities CD-ROM with User Manual | | Comments : | *Hot-swapping is not possible in RAID 0 and concatenation modes.
**Maximum interface transfer rate = theoretical bus bandwidth, whereas burst transfer rate = maximum drive speed. Performance depends on the RAID mode selected and burst transfer rates vary from one computer to another and may vary slightly from one drive to another. Average speed is usually lower depending on host configuration.
***The LaCie Shortcut Button feature is available via FireWire and USB but not eSATA.
****1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). Capacity varies depending upon RAID mode.
∆These measurements are indications may vary by +/- 10%.
∆∆Windows 2000, Windows XP 32-bit, and versions of Mac OS X before 10.4.6 do not recognize partitions of more than 2TB. | | Warranty : | 3-Year Limited Warranty |
