Optimum Storage Capacity
The Biggest Quadra represents a powerful level of storage with an as-
tounding capacity of up to 4TB combined with RAID technology. The
finest choice in flexibility, the Biggest Quadra comes with four removable,
lockable drives. With FireWire 800, FireWire 400, USB 2.0 and eSATA
connections, it is universally compatible for use with your PC or Mac.
EMC Retrospect Express software for advanced backup management and
data restoration is included for Windows and Mac users.
Superior RAID Security
A highly secure and fast RAID storage solution, the Biggest Quadra offers
optimal processing potential by harnessing the power of four disks in one
tower. The Biggest Quadra supports RAID levels 0, 0+1 and 5, as well as
RAID 5+hot spare so you can choose your configuration depending on if
you need security, speed/ capacity - or a combination of them.
Speedy & Easy To Use
High transfer rates make the Biggest Quadra well suited for audio/video
and creative professionals who require a speedy path to powerful data
storage and retrieval. Ideal for quickly saving hefty files, protecting
databases or working directly on the drive, it delivers high-capacity
performance at an affordable price. The user-friendly Biggest Quadra
allows for easy installation of four arrayed disks with no driver required.
Hot-Swappable Recovery
The Biggest Quadra allows for hot-swapping should a drive fail, with
automatic data rebuilding to a new drive without downtime. With the
added option of designating one of the drives a hot spare, the Biggest
Quadra will automatically replace a faulty one. For additional protection,
it will automatically react to a drive, fan or power failure and even shut
down above a temperature of 55° C to preserve itself and your data.

2big Dual
Dual Interface 2-disk RAID
Taking advantage of a native RAID
controller that preserves computer
resources, this compact 2-disk device
comes with Hi-Speed USB and faster
eSATA 3Gbits connectivity. Simply
select your RAID level with the switch
on the back. FAST mode supports
speed and capacity-demanding
applications, such as uncompressed SD video editing.
◆ To facilitate clean, multi-stream video playback with real time effects,
select FAST mode (RAID 0) for blazing-fast speed when used in
combination with the latest eSATA interface. FAST mode uses the
2big’s two SATA drives simultaneously to deliver maximum playback
performance of 8–bit or 10–bit uncompressed SD as well as High
Definition Video (HDV) or Digital Video (DV) formats.
◆ SAFE mode mirrors data so if one disk fails, data remains accessible on
the second one. Data redundancy can even be immediately rebuilt
with a hot-swappable spare disk.
◆ For higher flexibility, the SAFE33/50 modes create two partitions: BIG
for regular data and SAFE for data security. The heat sink metal design
naturally draws heat away from the hard disk’s internal components
to help keep it cool and improve reliability.

2big Triple
Triple Interface 2-disk RAID
This easy-to-use 2-disk RAID comes
with FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and
USB 2.0 interfaces. It is ideal for
audio/video projects (DV and SD video
playback or 2D/3D imaging projects).
Offering four different RAID levels, it
meets any kind of storage need:
security, large capacity or speed. Simply
select your RAID level with the mechanical switch on the back.
◆ 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 diskis
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.
