Designed with content producers in mind, LaCie’s Biggest S2S 5-disk RAID solution will give you storage for hours upon hours of uncompressed HD video. The LaCie Biggest S2S line tops out at 5TB of storage, but for those with an insatiable need for space you can connect up to four units for a massive 20TB of storage with bursts of up to 600MB/s.
“LaCie Biggest S2S 5TB is probably the most cost-efficient solution for HD/SD video editing and post-production,” said Olivier Mirloup, LaCie Hard Disk Drive Business Unit Manager. “It offers fast performance and data integrity in a single unit up to 5TB. In RAID 0, the ultra-fast eSATA interface offers enough speed to edit hours of 10-bit HD uncompressed or play back up to six 8-bit SD video streams. This can even be drastically improved combining several S2S units, revolutionizing a market driven so far by much less cost-effective solutions, such as SCSI/fiber technologies.”
The LaCie Biggest S2S 5TB system will be available in late-August for a MSRP of $3,699 (with PCI-X card) and $3,799 (with PCI-E card). The 2.5TB model is already available.
