Features
4K is here take it on the road with LaCie. With the LaCie Little Big Disk
Thunderbolt 2, not only can creative professionals stream and edit either 4K or
3D video, they can do in the field. With this giant leap forward for mobile
creative workflows, LaCie consolidates its position as the Thunderbolt
technology leader.
Thunderbolt 2 Speeds for the 4K Era
Until recently, the idea of achieving 1375 MB/s in a palm-sized device has
been pure science fiction. LaCie just brought it down to earth with the new
Little Big Disk, which features the incredible power of Thunderbolt 2. To
squeeze the most out of this potential, it also packs a set of PCIe SSDs
preconfigured in RAID 0.
With this kind of speed, videographers can work directly from RAW files,
getting full quality from footage and seeing edits in real time. No need to
first convert footage into a lower resolution. Photographers can browse and edit
massive photo libraries of thousands of RAW files, in the field, with zero lag
time. Avid Pro Tools users will notice incredibly smooth audio mixing, even when
working with hundreds of tracks simultaneously.
The Most Powerful I/O, Reinvented
Thunderbolt technology redefined external storage with its speed and
versatility for bandwidth-intensive applications. Thunderbolt 2 builds on those
advances, doubling speed potential to 20 Gb/s and enabling simultaneous RAW 4K
video file editing and display. And thanks to support for DisplayPort 1.2,
connecting to higher-resolution and multiple monitors is now possible.
Thunderbolt 2 also continues to support daisy chaining of up to six devices
to a computer via a single cable (included in the box). This means that
professionals can daisy chain up to five LaCie Little Big Disks plus a 4K
display to a computer, bringing capacity, incredible speed, and convenience to
the desktop. Thunderbolt 2 even uses the same cables and connectors as
first-generation Thunderbolt**.
Featherweight Powerhouse
The LaCie Little Big Disk still weighs just 1.4 lbs (620 g) and fits in a
laptop bag or a backpack. Its the only solution that packs this much power into
such a small package. With 1TB of capacity, its the perfect storage field
companion to the new Mac Pro, which is more portable than ever. Daisy chain
multiple LaCie Little Big disks to unleash the full potential of Apples powerful
new hardware.
Capture gigabytes of footage on a LaCie Little Big Disk in the field, and
then transfer them to the post-production team in minutes instead of hours.
Whereas before, transferring 250GB would have taken a couple of hours, now it
takes less than 10 minutes. You could also use the LaCie Little Big Disk as
working storage for 3D editing, and then back up final projects by daisy
chaining to RAID storage such as the LaCie 2big Thunderbolt Series.
RAID for Speed or Security
Use Disk Utility on your Mac computer to configure the LaCie Little Big Disk
into a RAID array that suits your needs. You can leave it as a striped RAID set
(RAID 0) to maximize speed and capacity for large file storage and fast
transfers. Or set it up as a mirrored RAID set (RAID 1), which provides data
protection if one disk fails. It even supports JBOD, so you can see and use each
drive independently.
Reliable Design for Professionals
LaCie reengineered the Little Big Disk to be even more reliable and much
quieter than ever, so you can focus on the creative process. Since overheating
is the primary cause of hard drive failure, cooling is essential for
reliability. The LaCie Little Big Disks interior was therefore completely
redesigned to improve its heat dissipation system. As a result, the fan is only
occasionally necessary. And the fan itself is now much quieter because it is
larger and adjusts its speed according to temperature. The net effect of the
cooling system is a nearly silent product with a longer lifespan.
The internal components are enclosed in LaCie's classic d2 casing, designed
by Neil Poulton. The resilient aluminum armor protects the data inside whether
the product is in the field or in transit. And to prevent theft and unauthorized
access, the LaCie Little Big Disk is compatible with Kensington locks and
includes AES 256-bit encryption software. Professional reliability for exacting
professionals.
The SSDs are thermally coupled with the external aluminum enclosure to
improve heat dissipation.
