LaCie 4big Quadra, 8 TB 4-disk RAID with 7 RAID Modes, FireWire 400 & 800 and USB, for Mac & Windows

The LaCie 4big Quadra is the most complete 4-bay RAID solution for small servers, creative pro workstations, or offices that need large storage/backup capacity, superior speed and advanced security. The 4big features seven RAID modes, including RAID 0 and RAID 5-which is highlighted by a versatile hot-swappable feature-to customize its performance and data protection level.

With burst transfer rates reaching up to 200-230MB/s through eSATA 3Gbits, the 4big fits perfectly with most applications that demand high speed, such as photo, pre-press, AV projects and even HD post-production. Compatible with Time Machine, it also comes with Genie Backup Manager Pro and Intego Backup Manager Pro, for customizable backup and computer recovery. The 4big Quadra not only sets a new standard in RAID technology and performance, but also was designed with the modern professional office in mind. Its stackable and chainable design helps to save space, while it's expandable and scalable up to four units (providing up to an amazing 24TB capacity and 600 MB/s transfer rates).

The 4big Quadra's universal connectivity (with eSATA, Firewire 400/800 and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interfaces) helps to ensure maximum compatibility with any Mac or PC. Compared to traditional RAID towers, it saves up to 30-80% more energy and its revolutionary ultra-reliable cooling system is almost 50% more quiet, making it the perfect choice for creative professionals. The technology, performance and the design of the 4big Quadra make it an ideal addition to any workspace.
