Lacie TWO BIG WITH PCI-X CARD User Manual
LaCie Two Big
with SATA II 3Gb/s PCI-X Card 4E
SATA II RAID System With
2 Hot-Swappable Drives
500GB, 1TB
SATA II SPEED & RAID SECURITY
Combining RAID technology and SATA II interface in a 2-drive
device, the LaCie Two Big delivers maximum speed, massive
capacity and multiple configurations for professionals at an
affordable price. It offers up to 1TB (1000GB) capacity in a
sleek and compact storage appliance. The host interface is
eSATA II and the disk interface supports 2 x SATA II disk drives.
The LaCie Two Big is also available with an additional spare
hard drive—250GB (for the 500GB drive) or 500GB (for the
1TB drive).
ENHANCED DATA PROTECTION
Choose the storage policy that matches your needs - Fast (RAID 0),
Safe (RAID 1), Big (concatenation) or JBOD (independent disks).
When configured in Safe, Fast, or Big modes, its processor maps
its physical hard disk drives to virtual drives, which are visible
to the host computer. The operating system treats each virtual
drive as if it were a single physical drive, allowing software to
overcome restrictions imposed by physical hard disk drives. In
a basic JBOD configuration, it supports individual mapping of
drives to volumes (logical instead of virtual).
EASY TO SET UP & USE
Simplified controls make the LaCie Two Big easy to set up
and use. Just open the box and plug in the appliance—it’s
that simple. Or, configure it yourself by manipulating the
rotary switch on the back of the appliance to select your
desired RAID level. Conveniently Plug & Play, you can get
right to work quickly. Offering hot-plug hard disk drive replacement of 2 hot-swappable drives, this tray-less device
is user-friendly and user-controlled.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE STORAGE
Windows and Mac compatible, the LaCie Two Big is
designed for small-to-medium businesses, digital content
creators and savvy home users working with audio/video
editing, web servers, databases, and graphic design.
It’s ideal for video editors who want to protect big files
with RAID security without sacrificing speed. The SATA II
interface allows for blazing-fast speeds of up to 115MB/s
in Fast mode, which is great for data-hungry applications
and speed-demanding projects.
