User Manual

1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a LaCie 2big Network. De-
signed to satisfy the data sharing and backup needs of small offices,
the LaCie 2big Network represents the new generation of shared
storage with security.
RAID Flexibility
RAID technology is one of the best means to protect your data, while
providing greater data integrity and availability than standard hard
disk storage. With the ability to provide single error detection and
redundant 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.
Superior Design
The advanced heat-dissipating metal casing and thermoregulated
fan ensure long-lasting reliability and quiet operation. The 2big
Network can be stacked or rackmounted to conform to every work
environment. The large glowing blue button adds more than char-
acter – it functions as a 1-click data-sharing button for automatic
file transfers from a USB key. Just push the button; your data is
automatically saved to the d2 Network.
Easy Setup & Access
The new user-friendly LaCie Network Assistant makes setup simple
and enables accessing, mapping and configuring the drives on your
office's network. The 2big Network's compatibility with Mac®, Win-
dows® and Linux machines without having to install drivers make it
the ideal file-sharing solution for small businesses.
