In addition, 2bigВ is also compatible with Kensington locks to prevent theft and unauthorized access locks and includes AES 256-bit encryption software to further increase the security of the device. Its unique cable lock prevents accidental disconnections and rubber feet help protect against vibration and noisy operation. Thermoregulation is a big concern with any compact storage device, but LaCie equipped the 2big with aВ large rear exhaust area,В pulling airВ back through an unobstructed interior path to keep the system as cool as possible. It also features a power saving mode that would be perfect for large overnight transfers. The LaCie 2bigвЂ™s offers a range of RAID modes to suit the needs of different use cases В RAID0 (Fast) should be selectedВ if speed is the primary concern, or RAID1 (Safe) which offers redundancy and data protection in case one disk fails.В The system can be configured as a JBOD as well if the user wants to use the two disks separately. This device would be best implemented in the storage of large audio, photo, or video libraries, especially where frequent transfers are needed. It comes in capacities of 6, 8, and 12TB, and could provide up to 60TB of storage if five 2bigs are daisy-chained together.В The 2big was designed to be compatible withВ bothВ Macs andВ PCs, providing Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 connectivity (the former of which resultsВ in an impressiveВ 420MB/s reported readВ when equipped with 12TB and configured in RAID0)В and compatibility with Time Machine or Windows Backup if professional-grade backup solutions are desired. The LaCie 2big Thunderbolt 2 is a recently released desktop storage solution catered to media enthusiasts and professionals.
