The 2big Triple comes with FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces for PC or Mac users. This easy-to-use 2-disk RAID is ideal for storing office data, archiving image banks or audio/video editing. FireWire 800 delivers fast burst transfer rates of up to 90MB/s** in RAID 0. Choose from among 4 RAID levels depending on your needs: SAFE 100 (RAID 1) for maximum security (100% data redundancy on each hot-swappable disk) with automatic data rebuilding if a spare disk*** is needed; FAST (RAID 0) for maximum speed; BIG (concatenation) for maximum capacity; or JBOD to use the disks separately. Other advanced features include: two lockable drives; a heat sink metal design for natural cooling; “On/Auto/Off” triple power management; and rackmount configuration. EMC® Retrospect® Express advanced backup management and data restoration software, which can be launched by the LaCie Shortcut Button, is included for Windows & Mac.

Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5–10% less). Capacity also varies depending upon RAID mode. BIG, FAST and JBOD = total accessible capacity; SAFE 100 (RAID 1) = 50% capacity. 2 These burst transfer rates were found in RAID 0 for highest speed. Performance depends on the RAID mode selected. Burst transfer rates vary from one computer to another and may vary slightly from one drive to another. Average speed is usually lower, depending on host configuration. ***Sold separately Box Content : LaCie 2big Triple; FireWire 800 to FireWire 800 (9-to-9 pin) cable; FireWire 400 to FireWire 400 (6-to-6 pin) cable; Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable (USB 1.1 compatible); external power supply; LaCie Utilities CD Warranty : 3 Year Limited Warranty Specifications and appearance are given as guidelines and may change without notice.
