1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie 2big
Quadra. This high-performance, extremely flexible RAID (Redun-
dant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) subsystem is ide-
ally suited for integration with databases, imaging systems and
e-mail and Web servers.
RAID technology is one of the best means to protect your data,
while providing greater data integrity and availability than stan-
dard hard disk storage. With the ability to provide single error
detection and redundant information to recover the original if a
disk fails, a RAID system is an ideal means to safe-guard valu-
able data while also stream-lining performance.
The LaCie 2big is the ultimate approach to a flexible RAID solu-
tion, with its ability to manage various RAID levels for a wide
range of applications.
