Quiet and Reliable Operation
For the best and most reliable cooling system for the 5big Network,
LaCie has chosen the Noctua and the NF-P12 fan technology,
designed in Austria, and automatically thermoregulated by SMART
commands. The nine-blade design and the vortex-control notches
of the blower provide superior pressure and airflow performance,
all at a volume fewer than 19dBA. The best-in-its-class Noctua is
rated at 150,000 hours MTBF, and its ultra-quiet design makes it
perfect for even the most noise-sensitive creative environment. This
attention to detail allows the 5big Network to be from 15% (seek) to
37% (idle) quieter than traditional 4-disk systems.

Power Savings
Traditional RAID systems can consume a lot of power, but the 5big
Network is different. LaCie has reduced power consumption of
this 5-disk solution by 25% compared to the previous 4-disk RAID
generations. Moreover, with the “Auto” mode of the triple position
power button, the 5big is able to go into standby reducing the
power consumption by up to 75%. Thanks to the Wake-on-LAN
feature, the 5big Network can be switched back to operating mode
from the client side.
Superior Design
Designed by world-famous industrial designer Neil Poulton, the
professional aluminum 5big Network tower is robust and reliable
with a strong metal enclosure and five lockable drive trays that
can be inserted and removed.** Red and blue LED indicators
identify each disk, and the glowing blue button adds more than
just character—one push will back up an attached external hard
disk, USB key or digital camera to the 5big Network. In addition,
the 5big Network has been developed to be stackable and
enhance any work environment with its space-saving abilities.
Easy to Use
For a unique user experience, the 5big Network includes the
LaCie Network Assistant software for Windows, Mac, and Linux
to be installed at the client side, and its intuitive and appealing
design increase both functionality and usability. With this
agent, users have quick access to the shares created in the 5big
Network, and can see all the LaCie NAS products in the network.
