LaCie 301355U 5big Network 5TB 5-BAY RAID Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000

• Add Terabytes to a Gigabit network
• Complete solution for comprehensive data backup
• Extra data protection with RAID 5 or RAID 6 modes
• Five hot-swappable disks for non-stop data access
• Designed to complement and enhance working environments

The 5big Network is the most complete five-bay RAID solution for small and medium workgroups or offices that need large storage and backup capacity, improved performance and advanced security. Offering capacities of up to 7.5TB (7500GB) and a versatile hot-swap feature, the 5big Network supports seven RAID modes including RAID 5 and RAID 6 for more flexibility and superior data protection. Designed with the modern professional office in mind, the 5big Network is housed in a sleek and durable aluminum tower with five lockable, removable drive trays.

Its stackable design helps to save space and its browser-based access and management system allows administrators to quickly set up the 5big Network and allow multiple users to share, store, and access data without taxing the bandwidth of a central server. This solution additionally features Active Directory Support (ADS) for easy integration into Windows-based networks and a Wake-on-LAN function, indispensable features for IT managers. Compared to traditional four-disk RAID towers, it uses 25 percent less energy, and its revolutionary, ultra-reliable cooling system is 37 percent quieter, despite the additional disk. The 5big Network's embedded technology, user benefit features and superior design make it an ideal addition to any workgroup.
