Professional RAID Made Easy.
Whether you’re a seasoned creative pro or just getting started, the LaCie 2big family has something for everyone: a docking solution with an array of helpful ports and card slots; hardware RAID 0/1 for controlling speed, capacity, or data redundancy; huge capacity for archiving; smooth USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 speeds; Rescue Data Recovery services for long-term peace of mind; and enterprise-class drives dishing out intense performance so you can do what you do—better.
Great innovation is often born from great challenge. So when modern USB-C laptops eliminated many of the ports and slots crucial to the creative process, we went straight to the drawing board. The result is 2big Dock Thunderbolt 3—a solution that gives back everything you need for a streamlined workflow.
Hardware RAID. Simplified.
Whether you’re new to 2-bay hardware RAID or a seasoned pro, LaCie RAID Manager makes it easy to configure any 2big for speed, capacity, or data redundancy. It even helps you monitor the system’s health via email notifications.
For PERFORMANCE
-Stripe Mode-
Drives are striped together and function like one large drive, enabling max speed and capacity.
For REDUNDANCY
-Mirror Mode-
Drives mirror each other, meaning data is automatically the same on both drives. If one fails, the other has your back.
For FLEXIBILITY
Drives function independently, offering two separate drives in one enclosure.
