*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.
**Hot-swapping is not possible in RAID 0 and concatenation modes.
***These measurements have been made in RAID 0 through eSATA 3Gb/s and may vary
with computer and 4big configurations.
The LaCie Shortcut Button feature is available via FireWire and USB but not eSATA.
1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1000MB. 1MB = 1,000,000 Bytes. Total accessible
capacity varies depending upon operating environment (Typically 10% or less for 1TB).
Capacity and cache memory vary 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.
Indicative reference, when compared with the previous generation LaCie Biggest RAID tower.
Windows XP does not support hard drives with capacities greater than 2TB.
These measurements are indications and may vary by ±10%.
