From the Manufacturer
The LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme with Triple Interface offers the highest hard drive capacity available, packing an unprecedented amount of storage into a manageable 5.25" 2U size. Featuring the most advanced technology in the industry, its built–in RAID 0 configuration achieves transfer rates up to 50% faster than regular FireWire 800 drives,* making it ideal for audio/video pros working with large amounts of DV and SD video or professional level 2D/3D imaging projects. Now with triple interface, it’s universally compatible with almost any computer and can be daisy-chained with peripherals or expanded via FireWire. With a unique, heat-dissipating, compact design, it can be stacked, rack-mounted or stand upright on your desk.

Okay, this is a pretty cool looking piece of kit. It's got an external aluminimum body and comes housing 4x 500 gigabyte hard drives. In effect, this raid array can store just about everything you'll ever create.
With firewire 400 and firewire 800 and USB 2.0 ports, this external storage device is in effect a great companion to your Apple Macbook or Macbook Pro. At least that's our opinion.
However, I've got this thing sitting in front of me, and to be perfectly honest. It ain't portable. It does however look great along side my macbook Pro and certainly offers a fast connection to my Apple mac. |
