link aggregation and get twice the performance of single Gigabit
Ethernet connection. Recommended for networks of up to 300 users,

for high capacity and high transfer speed rates.
RAID Protection
Thanks to the secure RAID modes, including RAID 5 and RAID 6,
the 5big Network 2 enables you to keep data access even if one
disk fails. The hot-swappable disk trays*** even allow maintenance
without affecting your workflow. “Spare” modes allow a second
level of protection; a sort of “automatic maintenance” that will
immediately start rebuilding the RAID protection in case of a disk
failure. And with room for five disks, the 5big offers more capacity
than four-disk solutions in almost every RAID mode. Extra spare
disks are available as an option for immediate replacement.
• Fast access to your NAS—performance up to 70MB/s
