USB Direct Connection
You can connect your 2big Network 2 directly to your computer
through a USB cable to access a dedicated USBShare folder of up
to 500GB like a normal external hard drive. This unique feature
allows you to gain extra flexibility and mobility for customized
usage, so you’ll be able to format this USBShare in your preferred
file system using your computer.
Simple, User-Friendly Administration
With the 2big Network 2’s new widget-based dynamic web
interface, administration is easy, convenient, and secure. Thanks
to DHCP and Apipa support, network configuration is fast and
automatic. The product integrates easily with existing Windows
domains using Active Directory and it allows user, group, share,
and quota management. Access to administration pages and
shares is easy using LaCie Network Assistant and, on top of that,
it can provide its administrator notifications via email of events like
backup, RAID, disk failure, high temperature, etc.
Eco-Management
The LaCie 2big Network 2 helps you to reduce power consumption
by switching to idle mode (disk spins off) after a determined inactivity
time. Also, you can schedule a deep sleep on/off mode according
your needs. Thanks to the Wake-on-LAN feature, it can be switched
back to operating mode from the client side. The 2big Network 2
also integrates UPS support*** through its USB port to ensure proper
shutdown in case of power failure. On top of that, its exclusive
aluminum heat sink design makes it your ecological partner—it’s
recyclable and ROHS-compliant.
