Introduction
1.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie 4big
Quadra. This high-performance, extremely flexible RAID (Redun-
dant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) subsystem is ideal
for integration with databases, video, and every creative system.
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 4big is the ultimate approach to a flexible RAID solu-
tion, with its ability to manage various RAID levels for a wide
range of applications.
