With 6TB of storage and fast Thunderbolt read and write speeds, the LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt Series drive offers fast speeds for backup or video processing. Like all other Thunderbolt drives we’ve seen, the 2big doesn’t offer any other ports for...

LaCie 2Big USB 3.0 review
by (expertreviews.co.uk) - Jun, 2011
Two-disk external drives have one major benefit over single-bay units; they can be configured in RAID to protect your data from disk failure. LaCie's 2Big USB 3.0 has a pair of 1TB 3½in hard disks for this very purpose.
Solid performance over USB3 and the peace of mind provided by RAID1 support, but it's too expensive to recommend

LaCie Hard Disk Max Quadra 2TB review
by (expertreviews.co.uk) - Jun, 2010
The LaCie Hard Disk Max Quadra has two disks, instead of one like most other external disks. Its RAID support means that the two 1TB disks can be used as a single 2TB volume, but if one of the disks suffers a hardware failure then all your data will be...
The Max Quadra is a good buy if you want RAID, but if you don't there are cheaper alternatives available.

LaCie Ethernet Disk mini - Home Edition 1TB review
by (expertreviews.co.uk) - Apr, 2009
LaCie's Ethernet Disk mini Home Edition looks very different to its Internet Space, as it has a sturdy metal case instead of a glossy white one, but otherwise they're very similar.

LaCie Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton 1TB review
by (expertreviews.co.uk) - Jan, 2009

LaCie Rugged Hard Disk 500GB review
by (expertreviews.co.uk) - Dec, 2008
LaCie's Rugged Hard Disk gets its name from its rigid metal case and the thick orange rubber bumper that surrounds it. Although we wouldn't want to drop any hard disk, the Rugged feels more robust than many disks.

Does everything I need (almost)
by user not recognised (amazon.co.uk) - Feb, 2012
I've just set this up today. My first NAS device, and I wish I'd done it sooner. It has loads of storage space, and being a glossy piano black block, it fits in with my Samsung TV. It'll probably show the dust just as well though.
