Direct-Attached, Expandable, Cutting-Edge Storage
Up to 60TB
Direct-Attached Storage
The LaCie 12big Rack Serial is perfectly suited for
professionals who need a way to expand the storage of their
workstation or server. By using a PCI SAS/RAID controller
card, you can connect the 12big Rack Serial through a Mini
SAS connection to your workstation to instantly receive 6TB
or 12TB of storage space.
Expandable
With room enough for up to 60TB* of data in an accessible,
reliable 12-disk JBOD array, the LaCie 12big Rack Serial is
a convenient, robust way for organizations to expand their
network’s storage capacity. Best of all, it allows users to create
60 SATA or 92 SAS disk arrays by daisy-chaining several
LaCie 12big Rack Serials, without incurring any extra costs. All
necessary accessories are included in the LaCie 12big Rack
Serial box.
Inline Monitoring
The 12big Rack Serial supports SES (SCSI Enclosure Services)
2.0, which allows you to closely monitor the status of your
disks and enclosure, so you can work confidently with the
knowledge that your 12big is always operating under the
best conditions. The SES 2.0 protocol works with you to warn
in case of component failure.
Enterprise Class Storage
To ensure the best quality, only Enterprise Class disks are
used in the LaCie 12big Rack Serial, meaning that you
can fully rely on the system to protect your data. They
have been developed with rotational vibration resistance
technology, helping them to be even more reliable and
robust. Spare drives are also available on the LaCie website
so users have the option to keep full protection for their
data. 100% of the enclosures and 100% of the disks are
tested before being included in the finished product.
Fully Redundant—Fully Reliable
In addition to the 12 hot-swappable disks and individuallytested enclosures, the LaCie 12big Rack S erial’s I/O
modules, Mini SAS links, two power supplies, and two
cooling units can be replaced on the fly, providing the
ultimate in redundancy and security. Within the 12big
Rack Serial, there is no single point of failure.
How the 12big Rack Serial Can Work for You
Creative Suite
From the individual editor looking to build
her own full-service suite to the larger postproduction engineer seeking entry-level
flexibility for his on- and offline jobs, the LaCie
12big Rack Serial offers an optimal return
on investment. It’s capable of accepting 12
enterprise class disks for superior performance,
so an editor can experience superior speed
and transfer rates up to 595 MB/s**, without
the requirement to conserve storage, due to
a potential 12TB in a full enclosure. Further,
it takes advantage of RAID 50***, providing
dependability without sacrificing performance,
since media is safe—even in the event of a
damaged drive. Whether you’re working with
a large, media-intensive offline edit such as
a feature film or an online HD conform and
color correction for commercials and corporate
videos, the 12big Rack Serial provides the
capacity, speed, and security mandated for the
most challenging projects with the option for
storage expansion in the future.
