LaCie on Tuesday announced the introduction of the 2big Quadra storage device with a quad interface that includes a fast 3Gbps eSATA port, FireWire 800 and 400 as well as USB 2.0. The dual-bay device can hold as much as 3TB, has a maximum transfer speed of 165MBps and has four RAID modes for enhanced data security. Like the earlier 4Big Quadra, the 2Big features a design penned by Neil Poulton and its drive bays are hot-swappable for no interruptions.Users can reach data transfer speeds of 165MBps when the 2Big Quadra is configured in RAID 0 and connected through the eSATA 3Gbps connection. The device can also be set to a Mixed mode where a RAID 0 partition will house daily working data while a RAID 1 partition archives key files. For back-up use, the drive is Time Machine compatible and ships with Genie Backup Manager Pro and Intego Backup Manager Pro software. |
