LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme 2TB
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 AM
"The LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme packs up to an amazing 2TB (terabytes) in a manageable 5.25" 2U size. Offering the fastest throughput, it’s optimized for digital editing applications and supports multiple streams of uncompressed SD video and audio editing. This true plug and play device has a built-in RAID 0 configuration that allows for instant high-speed data transfers of up to 85MB/s and immediate large-scale backup. It’s hot-pluggable for file sharing among FireWire 800/400 and iLink/DV computers. No drivers or software installation is required for Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Mac OS X, so set-up is quick and easy. The LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme can be daisy-chained, which is ideal for mirroring (RAID 1) two Bigger Disks for greater data redundancy and security. You can even stripe (RAID 0) for faster speeds."
Don't get too excited as this will set you back $2,299 (and they say you can chain two of them together to set up a RAID 8O ). Still I can't think of an easier way to add 2TB to your workstation.
