Ideal for Multi-stream Video Editing
To facilitate clean, multi-stream video playback with real time effects, select FAST mode (RAID 0) for blazing-fast speed when used in combination with the latest eSATA interface. FAST mode uses the 2big's two SATA drives simultaneously to deliver maximum playback performance of 8bit or 10bit uncompressed SD as well as High Definition Video (HDV) or Digital Video (DV) formats.
Superior Design
The LaCie 2big Dual's superior design is attractive, compact and allows for capacity up to 2TB. BIG, FAST and JBOD = total accessible capacity; SAFE 100 (RAID 1) = 50% capacity; SAFE 50 (RAID 1) = 75% capacity; and SAFE 33 (RAID 1) = approximately 83% capacity. **The greatest eSATA burst transfer rates were found in JBOD with RAID 0 software (rates are lower in other RAID modes). Rates vary from one computer to another and may vary slightly from one drive to another.
