LaCie 2big Dual
eSATA 3Gbits & Hi-Speed USB 2.0
SATA II Speed & RAID Configuration
Combining a hardware RAID and SATA II 3Gbits
technology in a two-drive device, the LaCie 2big Dual
features professional performance and security at an
affordable price. Convenient plug & play setup allows
you to connect the 2big to your computer via eSATA or Hi-
Speed USB 2.0 and get right to work. Windows and Mac
®
compatible, the 2big Dual is perfect for storing large photo
libraries, backing up web servers, and for use with video
editing applications.
Ideal for Multi-stream Video Editing
To facilitate clean, multi-stream video playback with real time
effects, select FAST mode (RAID 0) for blazing-fast speed
when used in combination with the latest eSATA interface.
FAST mode uses the 2big’s two SATA drives simultaneously to
deliver maximum playback performance of 8–bit or 10–bit
uncompressed SD as well as High Definition Video (HDV) or
Digital Video (DV) formats.
Enhanced Data Protection
Featuring six different RAID modes to match your specific
storage needs, the LaCie 2big Dual offers ease and
flexibility. Simply select your RAID level with the switch on
the back, without having to make any changes on your
computer. For maximum security, choose one of the three
RAID 1 mirroring modes. If one drive fails in RAID 1, auto-
rebuild and hot-swappable drives ensure complete security
of your data.
Superior Design
The LaCie 2big Dual’s superior design is attractive,
compact and allows for capacity up to 2TB. 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 desktop configurations, such as
vertical, horizontal, stacked or rack-mounted, it has a place
in every work environment.
