4-DISK RAID SYSTEM TOWER WITH FAST SATA SPEED

RAID SECURITY & SATA SPEED

The new LaCie Biggest S1S is an impressive RAID subsystem offering secure storage for up to an astonishing 2TB (terabytes) of data with SATA interface connection for use with PCs or Macs. SATA technology offers a speedier boot process and faster loading of programs and data and even simpler cabling. This powerful tower is the optimum combination of mega storage capacity, SAT A speed and superior RAID security at a comparatively low cost.

IDEAL FOR AUDIO/VIDEO PROFESSIONALS

Its high transfer rate of 80MB/s and enormous capacity options—1TB or 2TB—make the LaCie Biggest S1S well suited for audio/video and creative professionals who require a quick path to powerful data storage and retrieval. Ideal for saving hefty ﬁ les, protecting databases or working directly on the drive, it delivers high-capacity performance at an affordable price.

SUPERIOR RAID TECHNOLOGY

RAID hardware technology is becoming increasingly popular because it’s both safe and fast. The LaCie Biggest S1S comes in a 4-bay array with hot-swappable hard disks and hardware RAID controller. It supports RAID levels 0, 0+1, 5 and RAID 5+hot spare, and comes preconﬁ gured at RAID 5, but may be reconﬁ gured. It even allows for online hot swapping should a drive fail, with automatic data rebuilding to a new drive without downtime (RAID 5).

MULTIPLE ADVANTAGES

For professional performance without IT expertise, the user-friendly LaCie Biggest S1S allows for easy driverless installation and use on both PC and Mac. For extra security, LaCie offers the possibility of purchasing a spare drive and drawer when buying the Biggest S1S.
