LaCie 500GB BIG disk triple extreme

LaCie takes the best of its award-winning Big Disk Extreme (with FW400, FW800, and built-in RAID 0) and its Big Disk Triple Interface (FW800, FW400 and Hi-Speed USB 2.0, and built-in spanning), and confirms its technological
leadership by launching the Big Disk Extreme with Triple Interface. Use it to store large amounts of pre-press files,
digital video, presentations, image banks and more.  Easily share and exchange data among USB 2.0, FireWire
800, FireWire 400 and iLink computers.

Ideal For Digital Audio/Video Pros
This powerful drive is optimized for media professionals working with high-definition audio, digital video editing,
SD video and 2D/3D imaging. Its capacity combined with never-before-seen transfer rates make it ideal for datahungry
applications or sharing and archiving large-scale video projects. Chain FireWire peripherals or iLink DV
cameras with the drive for maximum performance.

Convenient & Easy-To-Use
This hot plug & play drive achieves RAID 0 performance with no configuration. More compact and lightweight
than RAID towers, it can be placed in a spacesaving upright position, be stacked, rack-mounted and even
daisy-chained with other drives (with FireWire) to increase its power. With the “super combo” triple interface solution,
this versatile drive allows for true and easy cross-platform convenience.

Drive Heat Management
This d2 drive’s aluminum body draws heat away from the internal disk toward the external casing, which absorbs
and dissipates heat, keeping it safe and prolonging its life and reliability. Because of this unique feature, this drive
comes fan-free in the 500GB capacity, and offers a “smart fan” for the 640GB and 1TB capacities, which is ultra-quiet
and has speeds that automatically vary depending upon temperature.
