LACIE 2BIG THUNDERBOLT 2
Professional Dual-Disk Hardware Raid
Dual Thunderbolt 2 | USB 3.0
Speed and Reliability. By Design
- Shocking speeds up to 420MB/s
- Dual Thunderbolt 2 ports for 4K workflows
- Innovative design with Raid and reliability
- USB 3.0 for PC and Mac compatibility
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
7200RPM disks and the result is incredible, sustained speeds of up to
420MB/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, it’s 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 2big’s
range of RAID modes also gives you the flexibility to tailor the
product to meet your needs. It’s 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.
Power-Saving Mode
- Save energy by pressing the power button to spin down disks
without interrupting daisy chain transfers. Press and hold the button
to shut down the product completely.
Front-Accessible Disks and Disk Status LEDs
- Conveniently and quickly remove and replace disks from the front
of the product. Keep track of disk health and RAID build status with
the front-facing disk status LEDs.
Redesigned Heat Dissipation System
- The cooling system more effectively diverts heat from components,
ensuring long-term reliability. The fan pulls cool air through an
unobstructed path from the front to the back. And the rear exhaust area
size is 500% larger, allowing hot air to escape much faster.
Integrated Cable Lock
- Prevent accidentally disconnected interface or power cables
without compromising the look and design of the product.
Effective, Whisper-Quiet Noctua® Fan
- Work in silence thanks to the ultra-quiet, thermoregulated Noctua
NF-A6x25 FLX fan. Not only does it turn on and off and at different
speeds according to temperature, it also features extra-large blades,
located at the rear of the enclosure. As a result, the fan produces an
almost imperceptible amount of noise.
Wider and More Stable
- Thanks to a wider footprint but 10% more compact design compared
to the previous generation of LaCie 2big▲, the new LaCie 2big is less
likely to tip and is even easier to stack.
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 includes LaCie Private-Public software,
which lets you prevent unauthorised access by password-protecting
volumes with AES 256-bit encryption.

Comments:
* Hot swapping will result in data loss in a RAID 0 array.
** To achieve full interface bandwidth, connect the product to either a
USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt 2 port on a computer or device.
*** These transfer rates were achieved using AJA System Test when
connected to a 13″ Macbook Pro® with a 2.8GHz Intel® Core™ i7 processor
and 8GB RAM. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating
environment and other factors, such as RAID mode, RAID configuration,
and disk capacity.
^ These measurements have been made under normal conditions, one
meter/three feet from the front of the product. This value may vary
with conditions and product configuration.
^^ Windows XP 32-bit does not support volumes with capacities exceeding
2TB.
When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one
billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one thousand billion
bytes. Your computer’s operating system may use a different standard of
measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the
listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions and will not
be available for data storage.
