The LaCie 2big Quadra RAID is easy to use, and is equipped with 2 extractable, lockable and hot-swappable disks in RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) 1 mode*. With burst transfer rates as high as 165MB/s** (eSATA 3Gb/s) in RAID 0, the 2big Quadra is an ideal setup for high speed-demanding applications like audio/video projects (DV and SD video playback or 2D/3D imaging).
The 2big Quadra RAID offers complete data protection. LaCie includes advanced backup software with computer recovery options: Genie Backup Manager Pro for Windows and Intego Backup Manager Pro for Mac users. The sturdy, aluminum heat sink design—with 60% more surface area for heat dissipation—keeps 2big Quadra quiet and safe.
2big Quadra offers several space-saving configurations—upright, horizontal, stacked, or rack-mounted. The LaCie Shortcut Button on the front launches any backup or library application of your choice with just one push. ***

Comments:
*Hot-swapping is not possible in RAID 0 and concatenation modes.
**Maximum interface transfer rate = theoretical bus bandwidth, whereas burst transfer rate = maximum drive speed. Performance depends on the RAID mode selected and burst transfer rates vary from one computer to another and may vary slightly from one drive to another. Average speed is usually lower depending on host configuration.
***The LaCie Shortcut Button feature is available via FireWire and USB but not eSATA.
****1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). Capacity varies depending upon RAID mode.
These measurements are indications may vary by +/- 10%.
Windows 2000, Windows XP 32-bit, and versions of Mac OS X before 10.4.6 do not recognize partitions of more than 2TB.
