Premium 3-Year Warranty
The LaCie 2big Quadra comes with a 3-Year Limited Warranty. For superior service, it also comes with the LaCie Advance
Care Option, which can be purchased separately online within 30 days of the purchase date. Under the Advance Care
Option, LaCie will immediately swap out the product without it needing to be returned first for minimal interruption of your
workflow. LaCie covers all freight costs. Availability depends on the sales area. See www.lacie.com for details.
*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.
 Calculations are based on 1080i 60 (8-bit) for uncompressed HD video, NTSC DV 25 standard-definition 720x486, 29.97 fps
for digital video; and an estimation of Digital SLR resolution of 10 megapixels for RAW photos of 12MB. These calculations are
only estimations and may vary with the codec used.
 Windows XP does not support hard drives with capacities greater than 2TB.
 Hot-swapping is not possible in RAID 0 and concatenation modes.
n These measurements are indications and may vary by ±10%.
