The LaCie Big Disk is ideal for space-hungry applications, such as archiving photo image-banks and 3D images, and storing massive desktop publishing files, as well as for editing audio and uncompressed digital video files. Forget about network downtime; gigabytes can be exchanged in seconds simply by transferring a LaCie Big Disk from a computer to another. With such an unbelievably large capacity, the LaCie Big Disk is also ideal for large-scale backup among multiple users without causing network congestion.

Twice the size of hard drives currently on the market, the LaCie Big Disk is a unique innovation that offers hundreds of gigabytes of storage space in a portable 5.25" format.

Equipped with the FireWire interface, the LaCie Big Disk delivers fast transfer rates of up to 400Mbits/sec to accommodate high-volume environments such as digital imaging, pre-press and post-production facilities. This drive's FireWire capabilities offer unbeatable ease of use: hot-pluggability for immediate device recognition, and there is no software installation required for Windows XP and Mac OS X users. The LaCie Big Disk can also be daisy-chained to other storage devices or with most digital audio and video devices.

The LaCie Big Disk features a stylish, metallic design crafted from a sturdy aluminum alloy that dissipates heat, allowing for operation without a noisy fan. A weighted drive stand allows for upright desktop use with perfect stability, while an optional rack-mounting kit enables versatile configuration in standard 19-inch racks. The drive switches on and off together with the computer to conserve energy and provide further ease of use. For added data security, the LaCie Big Disk is also compatible with Kensington-type locks.
