The 1 TB 2big Network Hard Drive from LaCie is a high-capacity drive with an interface that allows it to be connected to your network via Gigabit Ethernet.

The drive has a variety of security options that let you control the data that users can access. The drive also features two USB 2.0 ports for storage expansion and sharing. The drive is a great option for network storage in SOHO environments.

• 1 TB Capacity

1 TB of capacity allows for storage of approximately 75 hours of uncompressed DV digital video, the equivalent of 212 4.7 GB DVD video discs, or up to 250,000 MP3 files.

• RAID Data Protection

The drive supports SAFE 100 (RAID 1) mode for data security. In this mode, data is mirrored on both physical disks inside the enclosure. This ensures that you have a real-time backup of all of your data. The drive also supports BIG mode, which gives you maximum capacity without data protection.

• Ethernet Interface

The Gigabit Ethernet interface allows users to access data and administrators to administer the drive remotely through a standard LAN connection, making it easy to add to your existing network infrastructure.

• Expansion and Sharing

The drive features two USB 2.0 ports for expansion. They allow you to connect additional external USB 2.0 hard drives for network data sharing. This lets you access data from an existing external drive via Ethernet.

• Secure

When using the Ethernet interface the drive administrator is able to set share levels and user permissions to control exactly what files network users are able to access, making it a great solution for sharing data in small work groups.
