LaCie 4big Quadra

The LaCie 4big Quadra is the most complete 4-bay RAID solution for small servers, creative pro workstations, or offices that need large storage/backup capacity, superior speed, and advanced security. Offering capacities up to 12TB (12,000 GB!), the 4big features seven RAID modes, including RAID 0 and RAID 5—which is highlighted by a versatile hot-swappable feature—to customize its performance and data protection level.

With burst transfer rates reaching up to 200-230MB/s* through eSATA 3Gbits, the 4big fits perfectly with most applications that demand high speed, such as photo, pre-press, AV projects, and even HD post-production. Compatible with Time Machine™, it also comes with Genie Backup Manager Pro™ and Intego Backup Manager Pro™, for customizable backup and computer recovery.

The 4big Quadra not only sets a new standard in RAID technology and performance, but also was designed with the modern professional office in mind. Designed with a sturdy aluminum body by industrial designer Neil Poulton, the 4big Quadra has been developed to be stackable, and enhance any work environment with its space-saving abilities. Thanks to the FireWire bus, it can be daisy-chained fewer cables connected to your computer. By using a four-port eSATA multi-lane host adaptor, you can connect up to four 4big Quadra and reach up to 48TB and speeds up to 600MB/s using programs such as Apple Disk Utilities to add an extra level of RAID 0 performance.

Quick Install Guide
Comments :  *Maximum interface transfer rate = theoretical bus bandwidth, whereas burst transfer rate = maximum drive speed. Performance depends on the RAID mode selected and burst transfer rates vary from one computer to another and may vary slightly from one drive to another. Average speed is usually lower depending on host configuration. 
**1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). Capacity varies depending upon RAID mode. 
***Hot-swapping is not supported by RAID 0 and concatenation modes. 
****The LaCie Shortcut Button feature is available via FireWire and USB but not eSATA. 
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 is not compatible with LaCie Shortcut button.
