The ﬁnest choice in ﬂexibility, the LaCie Biggest FW800 comes with SATA disks at 250GB or 500GB each for a maximum capacity of up to 2TB. With USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 interface connections, it is compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems.

Superior RAID Security

A highly secure and fast RAID storage solution, the LaCie Biggest FW800 offers optimal processing potential by harnessing the power of four disks in one tower. The RAID system offers a perfect combination of total available capacity and the ability to rescue data in the event of a disk failure. The LaCie Biggest FW800 supports RAID levels 0, 0+1 and 5, as well as RAID 5+hot spare.

Speedy & Easy To Use

Its high transfer rates make the Biggest FW800 well suited for audio/video and creative professionals who require a quick path to powerful data storage and retrieval. Ideal for saving hefty ﬁles, protecting databases or working directly on the drive, it delivers high-capacity performance at an affordable price. The user-friendly LaCie Biggest FW800 allows for easy installation of four arrayed disks with no driver required.

Hot-Swappable Recovery

The LaCie Biggest FW800 allows for online hot swapping should a drive fail, with automatic data rebuilding to a new drive without downtime. With the added option of designating one of the drives a hot spare, the Biggest FW800 will automatically replace a faulty one. For additional protection, it will automatically react to a drive, fan or power failure and even shut down above a temperature of 55° C to preserve itself and your data.
