Product Features
Technical Overview
The LaCie 2big RAID Professional is engineered for straightforward deployment and consistent operation. It features two hot-swappable drive bays that accommodate 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, each supporting up to 16 TB, for a total installed capacity of 48 TB. The hardware RAID controller supports RAID 0 for striping data across both drives to maximize throughput and RAID 1 for mirroring to protect against drive failure.
Connectivity is handled through a single USB 3.0 port, delivering data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps for quick file access and backup operations. The system includes built-in cooling with a quiet fan to maintain optimal drive temperatures during extended use. No additional network configuration or software is required for basic RAID functionality, making it a plug-and-play solution for direct-attached storage needs.
