Features
With the redesigned 2big, instead of aiming for incremental, LaCie shot for
revolutionary. Its all-new industrial design demolishes the status quo and sets
a new standard for versatility and reliability. The LaCie 2big also features
unbeatable Thunderbolt 2 technology and hardware RAID for sensational
performance.
Thunderbolt 2 Speeds for the 4K Era
With Thunderbolt 2 technology, the interface is no longer the performance
bottleneck. For the 2big, LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance potential
of the Thunderbolt 2 I/O, squeezing the absolute best speeds out of the hard
disks. Add a hardware RAID controller and 7200 RPM disks and the result is
incredible, sustained speeds of up to 420 MB/s that turbocharge file transfers
and backups
With this kind of speed, videographers can edit multiple 2K uncompressed
10-bit streams or play back compressed 4K video. Digital photographers can
browse a massive RAW photo library with zero lag. And, thanks to support for
DisplayPort 1.2, its now possible to daisy chain higher-resolution displays such
as 4K monitors.
Versatility for Pro Environments
With USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 2 interfaces, the LaCie 2big gets the best
possible speeds on any late-model PC or Mac. And, USB 3.0 backward compatibility
means that you can connect the LaCie 2big to any standard computer. With support
for exFAT and built-in hardware RAID, you can seamlessly connect to both PC and
Mac computers without losing your RAID configuration. Whatever your workstation,
move mountains of data fast.
Thunderbolt 2 continues to support daisy chaining of up to six devices to a
computer via a single cable (included in the box). This means that professionals
can daisy chain up to five LaCie 2bigs plus a 4K display to a computer, bringing
capacity, incredible speed, and convenience. Thunderbolt 2 is also backward
compatible and uses the same cables and connectors as first-generation
Thunderbolt** devices and computers.
RAID for Speed or Security
In addition to compatibility with any computer, hardware RAID delivers
sustained performance and better reliability. The LaCie 2bigs range of RAID
modes also gives you the flexibility to tailor the product to meet your needs.
Its incredibly easy to change the RAID mode, but impossible to do so accidently.
You can leave it in RAID 0*** (FAST) mode to maximize speed and capacity for
working on current projects, and then move completed projects to archival
storage incredibly quickly.
Or configure the LaCie 2big in RAID 1 or Mirroring (SAFE) mode, which
provides data protection if one disk fails. And thanks to hot-swappable disks,
you can simply replace a disk from the front with zero data loss and no work
interruption. Even in RAID 1, impressive transfer speeds slash the time it takes
to perform backups, making it easier to back up more frequently. The LaCie 2big
even features JBOD, so you can see and use each disk independently.
Innovative Design, Breakthrough Usability
When reengineering the industrial design of the 2big from the ground up,
LaCie relentlessly focused on usability for professionals.
Packed with Value for Pros
With a bundled professional backup software suite and compatibility with Time
Machine and Windows Backup, the LaCie 2big includes everything you need for
secure backup. And with email alerts, busy professionals can monitor their
storage before potential problems escalate. This product also
includesLaCie Private-Publicsoftware, which lets you prevent
unauthorized access by password-protecting volumes with AES 256-bit
encryption.
