horizontal, stacked with other drives or rack-mounted, this

highly adaptable storage solution conforms to any desktop

to save you space. The glowing blue button on the front is

the LaCie Shortcut Button, which can launch any backup or

library application of your choosing in one push.****

Ideal For Digital Audio/Video Pros

With two internal SATA disks and built-in hardware RAID 0,

the Big Disk Quadra reaches impressively high speeds and

offers enormous capacity for such a compact drive, making

it ideal for audio/video editors, creative professionals, or

database managers. The eSATA 3Gb/s interface delivers

remarkably rapid burst transfer rates of up to 165MB/s**.

Use it with high-deﬁnition audio, digital video editing, SD

video and 2D/3D imaging or to back up your computer

or archive thousands of ﬁles. You can even daisy-chain

FireWire or iLink DV cameras via FireWire.

Advanced Cooling System

The Big Disk Quadra’s fully aluminum, sturdy heat sink

design provides 60% more surface area for naturally

drawing heat away from the internal components to keep

it cool and safe at all times. This advanced cooling system

allows the Big Disk Quadra to be fanless for near-silent

operation, enabling maximum peace and quiet in your

work environment. It also offers Triple Power Management

with a manual switch: “Auto” for energy efﬁciency; “On” for

instant access; or “Off” for data protection.
