LaCie 2big Spare Drive Specifications

Design by Neil Poulton
Triple Interface & RAID Flexibility
This easy-to-use two-disk device incorporates the three most
universal interfaces. It comes with two FireWire 800 ports,
one FireWire 400 port and one Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port for
PC or Mac users. The 2big Triple is ideal for storing office
data and archiving image banks but also for audio/video
projects (DV and SD video playback or 2D/3D imaging
projects). Offering four different RAID levels, it meets any
kind of storage need: security, large capacity or speed.
Simply select your RAID level with the mechanical switch on
the back.
Security For Professional Data
In SAFE 100 (RAID 1) configuration, the two disks are
mirrored for maximum security. Data is automatically
duplicated to each drive so the available capacity is reduced
to 50%. If one drive fails in RAID 1, data remains accessible
and can even be automatically rebuilt onto a spare drive
(sold separately). For ensuring complete data security and
availability, the drives are hot-swappable. The 2big Triple
comes with award-winning EMC® Retrospect® Express
for advanced backup management and data restoration
(Windows & Mac). Automatic backups of selected files or
folders can be scheduled to protect your data.

High-Performance Storage
The 2big Triple is the ultimate storage solution for audio/
video and creative professionals who need swift, reliable
performance. FireWire 800 interface delivers impressively
rapid burst transfer rates of up to 90MB/s** in RAID 0
configuration. In FAST mode (hardware RAID 0), the 2big
Triple uses the two SATA drives simultaneously to deliver
maximum performance. Select the BIG mode for maximum
capacity or choose JBOD wherein the two drives work
independently.
Superior Design
The 2big's design is attractive, compact and allows for up to
2TB capacity. The heat sink metal design naturally draws heat
away from the hard disk's internal components to help keep
it cool and improve reliability. With versatile configurations
such as vertical, horizontal, stacked or rack-mounted, it
conforms to your work environment. It offers triple power
management: "Auto" for energy efficiency; "On" for instant
access; or "Off" for data protection. The large glowing blue
button on the front functions as a Shortcut Button that can
launch EMC® Retrospect® advanced backup software or any
other application of your choosing.
