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.

5 of 5 Fantastic RAID at an affordable cost Friday, July 25, 2008
Jeremiah from Portland, OR  

I do videography and photography and was in great need of a hot swappable RAID system because I back up everything I shoot with double redundancy. I bought the 2 TB LaCie because shooting in HD the more space you have the merrier. I love this device, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I've had no issues. Great build quality. I dig it. endhaven.com thisisrevolver.com
