LaCie announced a new 8TB model of the LaCie 4big Quadra and three new product combinations for professionals who expect fast, large and reliable storage solutions to enhance their workflow. Leveraging the quality and reputation of the award-winning LaCie 4big Quadra—which is recognized for its high capacity, speeds, data protection, and design–LaCie premieres the 4big Quadra Bundle, which boasts huge capacities up to 32TB and fast transfer speeds up to 700MB/s. LaCie also announced today a new 8TB model of the 4big Quadra, an integral part of the 32TB LaCie 4big Quadra Bundle.

LaCie 4big Quadra is the most complete 4-bay RAID solution featuring four hot-swappable disks and seven RAID modes including RAID0 and RAID5. By stripping two or more 4big Quadra and connecting them via eSATA – using the LaCie eSATA II PCI Express Card 3Gb/s – 4Ports – professionals now have access to the most powerful RAID configuration* on the market today. The LaCie 4big Quadra Bundle gives users a choice of combining two 4big Quadra for up to 8TB and 400MB/s transfer speeds, or four 4big Quadra for up to 32TB and 700 MB/s transfer speeds.

"With the rise of HD and uncompressed HD digital content, creative professionals depend on storage solutions that will be compatible with their everyday applications, like Adobe Premiere® or Apple Final Cut Pro®, and solutions that will incorporate amazing performance, capacity, and data protection into their workflow," remarked Arnaud Prézelin, LaCie Product Manager for Creative Pro Solutions. "By giving professionals the ability to configure four 4big Quadra into a RAID 50 array, the LaCie 4big Quadra Bundle provides industry-leading performance without enterprise-level costs."

Featuring three options for customization, the LaCie 4big Quadra Bundle includes the choice of two or four 4big Quadra, a LaCie eSATA II PCI Express Card 3Gb/s – 4Ports, and a LaCie Rescue Kit (available with Bundles 16TB and 32TB). The Rescue Kit, which consists of a spare hard disk and power supply, is designed for workflow respect in case of common storage issue with simple maintenance, hot-swappable drive replacement and automatic rebuild.

Details

Compared to traditional RAID towers, the 4big Quadra Bundle has been optimized for ultimate efficiency, including an automatic standby mode to reduce power consumption of each tower by up to 80 percent compared to standard 4-bay RAID tower. Ideal for noise sensitive working environments, each 4big Quadra also incorporates the ultra-reliable Noctua cooling system, making it almost 50 percent quieter than comparable systems. Designed in aluminum by the world-famous product designer Neil Poulton, the 4big Quadra design is stackable and space-saving, fitting into modern working environments.

Also made for Sever backup, the LaCie 4big Quadra Bundle comes with Genie Backup Manager Pro™ for Windows® and Intego Backup Manager Pro™ for Mac®, supporting customizable backups and computer recovery.
