Today, LaCie announced the availability of 5TB, 7200 rpm hard-drive
capacities in its 5big Thunderbolt™ Series, 2big Thunderbolt Series and
d2 Thunderbolt Series. Delivering external storage products that range
from 5TB single drive systems to 25TB RAID solutions boosts storage
capacity by 20 percent. This increase showcases the company’s commitment
to provide the fastest, highest capacity storage solutions on the market.
Increasingly larger file formats for film and photography have driven
the demand for more storage capacity. The availability of 5TB hard
drives enables LaCie to deliver significantly more storage capacity in
its same compact desktop designs. This saves professionals valuable
desktop space.
LaCie’s 5big Thunderbolt now features a capacity of up to 25TB, which
makes it the largest 5-bay storage solution on the market. Combined with
industry-leading speeds up to 785 MB/s*, it is the ideal product for
video professionals to pair with a Thunderbolt-enabled computer, like
the new Mac Pro, to drive 4K workflows. Photography professionals will
appreciate the larger capacities of the d2 Thunderbolt and 2big
Thunderbolt, with the same fast transfer speeds and responsive photo
browsing that they depend on from these products.
The new capacities are also available on the LaCie 2big Quadra and d2
Quadra storage solutions. All products can be purchased at the LaCie
Online Store and LaCie Resellers.
LaCie professional storage solutions are protected by a three-year
limited warranty. It includes comprehensive, complimentary web-based
