High-Capacity RAID Storage for the Demanding Creative
Elevate your creative workflow with the LaCie 2big RAID, a powerhouse storage solution engineered for photographers, filmmakers, audio producers, and graphic designers who demand both speed and security. This 16TB desktop array is built to handle the immense file sizes of modern creative projects, from multi-stream 4K video editing to extensive photo libraries and long-term project archiving. Stop letting slow transfer speeds and storage bottlenecks disrupt your focus. The 2big RAID provides the performance and capacity you need to stay in the creative zone, backed by the reliability that professionals trust.
At its core, the 2big RAID features two hot-swappable, 8TB enterprise-class hard drives, delivering consistent, 24/7 performance under heavy workloads. Out of the box, it’s configured in RAID 0 for maximum speed, pushing data at up to 440 MB/s through its modern USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port. This allows you to transfer a 100GB 4K video project in under five minutes. For creators whose priority is data protection, the included LaCie Toolkit makes it simple to switch to RAID 1 (mirroring). This configuration creates an instant duplicate of your data on the second drive, providing invaluable redundancy and peace of mind against drive failure. A JBOD option is also available for independent drive management.
Designed to be a seamless part of your workspace, the LaCie 2big boasts universal compatibility with both USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 equipped Mac and Windows computers. The sleek aluminum enclosure isn't just for looks; it actively dissipates heat, working in tandem with a thermoregulated Noctua® cooling fan to ensure the drives remain cool and perform optimally with whisper-quiet operation. Your investment is protected by an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty that includes Rescue Data Recovery Services, giving you the ultimate confidence to focus on what you do best: creating.
