User Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie
2big Dual. This high-performance, extremely flexible
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive
Disks) subsystem is ideally suited for integration with
databases, imaging systems and e-mail and Web serv-
ers.
RAID technology is one of the best means to pro-
tect your data, while providing greater data integrity
and availability than standard hard disk storage. With
the ability to provide single error detection and redun-
dant information to recover the original if a disk fails, a
RAID system is an ideal means to safe-guard valuable
data while also stream-lining performance.
The LaCie 2big is the ultimate approach to a flex-
ible RAID solution, with its ability to manage various
RAID levels for a wide range of applications.
