Rated 4 out of 5

Not as I expect but it is good enough for me

The sound is a bit annoying, and the speed is ok

It performs well but is noisy when the disks start up. Makes an unpleasant groaning sound. Was shipped without addequate protective wrapping.

About LaCie 6big

Think bigger-we've got you covered. With up to 84TB of capacity on your desktop, up to 1400MB/s speeds and RAID 5/6, the LaCie 6big Thunderbolt 3 lets you rein in the stampede of data from ultra hi-res cameras.

Performance

Thunderbolt 3: Think bigger. Deliver faster

The absolute fastest I/O
For the 6big, LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance potential of the Thunderbolt 3 I/O and squeezed the absolute best speeds out of the hard drives. We added a hardware RAID controller and 7200RPM drives and the result is astonishing 6big speeds of up to 1400MB/s-and 1200MB/s in RAID 5.

For lightning-fast video workflows
That kind of speed can slash time off nearly every task in your post-production workflow. Ingest hours of RAW footage from a Blackmagic cinema camera into Adobe Premiere Pro in a fraction of the time. Then edit multiple streams of ProRes 422 (HQ), ProRes 4444 XQ, as well as uncompressed HD 10-bit and 12-bit video. For big projects packed with high-def clips, thumbnail and preview rendering becomes much more responsive.

And for your smartest workspace
With double the video bandwidth of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 lets you daisy chain dual 4K displays or a single 5K display to the LaCie 6big. With two 4K displays, you can spread out your workspace by dedicating one display to your timeline and the other to previewing 4K footage, for example. It's even possible to power a compatible laptop through the Thunderbolt 3 connection.

Compatible with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 (Mac only)
Macs with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 ports can experience high-end transfer rates with LaCie Thunderbolt 3 professional solutions. Apple's Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter (sold separately) provides easy connection between LaCie Thunderbolt 3 solutions and Macs with earlier generations of Thunderbolt technology.

Capacity

Bigger in every way. Except in footprint
With up to 84TB (6big) on your desktop, you can safely store massive amounts of ultra hi-res footage.

Consolidate
Instead of buying a new storage device every time you need more capacity, invest up front in a future-proof, RAID-protected solution. Improve data access and security, which can save money in the long term.

Organize
Divide your storage into multiple volumes according to your workflow. Create one volume for ingesting transcoded clips and current projects and another for archiving final footage.

Expand
Thunderbolt 3 lets you daisy chain up to six devices to a computer via a single cable.

Tough. Ready. Scalable

Design

Our biggest design for the most exacting video pros

Compact Footprint
Get massive capacity on your desktop in a footprint that's smaller than an iPad Air (59 vs 62 in).

Kensington lock compatible
