The 4TB 2big USB 3.0 from LaCie is the ultimate approach to a flexible RAID (Redundant Array of Independent / Inexpensive Disks) solution, with its ability to manage various RAID levels for a wide range of applications.

Since needs differ among all users, the LaCie 2big USB 3.0 allows you to choose between faster transfer rates or file mirroring with a simple flip of a switch. For high-speed demanding programs, such as video editing or graphics, you may choose RAID 0 (fast). If data backup is important, RAID 1(safe) will keep a copy of each file on the 2big's two disks. Providing greater integrity and validation than standard hard disk storage, RAID technology is one of the best means to protect your data. With the USB 3.0 interface, you will experience enhanced transfer rates to complement whatever RAID level you choose.

Lastly, its solid aluminum casing provides 60% more surface area, which dissipates heat more efficiently. In addition, it's thermo-regulated fan turns on and off according to internal temperature. As a result, it cools the components while reducing electricity usage.

SuperSpeed Dual Drive
Developed for professionals looking for storage and performance, the 2big USB 3.0 features the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface. It can support multiple HD streams and deliver more power to devices that need them. It's even USB 3.0-compatible on Mac computers, thanks to LaCie's USB 3.0 driver for Mac OS. With three RAID modes for flexibility, speed, and protection the 2big USB 3.0 can perform up to 306Mbps in RAID 0. With its 5400 rpm drive and compatibility with USB 2.0, it's the only hard drive you need
RAID Hardware Protection
The 2big USB 3.0 is user-friendly and lets you change your RAID mode easily and safely. For maximum protection, choose RAID 1 for automatic mirroring of one disk to the other. This mode allows protection in case of a one-disk failure. It also offers full data protection for library archiving and backup, with hot-swappable disks for non-stop data access-even during maintenance
Space Saving Versatility
Designed by Neil Poulton with a sturdy aluminum body, the LaCie 2big USB 3.0 easily integrates into any Mac or PC environment. With upright, horizontal, stacked or rack-mounted configuration options, the 2big USB 3.0 offers significant space saving abilities
Power Savings
The unique, fanless aluminum heat sink design has 60% more surface area, which provides the most efficient heat dissipation. It keeps it ultra-quiet and protects the hard disk. The LaCie 2big USB 3.0 helps you to reduce power consumption by switching to idle mode after a determined inactivity time. You can schedule a deep sleep on / off mode according to your needs, and the 2big USB 3.0 can be switched back to operating mode from the client side
