LACIE big disk quadra

External harddrives. The Lacie brand is awesome. Shooting with the Canon 5D Mark II is amazing, but my RAW image files are huge. This means when I back-up a shoot it takes up a lot of space. Filling up my current Lacie external harddrive was very easy, so I felt the need to upgrade. Lacie has a huge selection of products and after researching I decided to go with the "Lacie big disk quadra" with 2TB of space.



The Lacie harddrives will lay horizontally, stand vertically, stack together or you can rack-mount it with other Lacie harddrives. It has a detachable plate that you can easily attach for vertical storage.



This particular model offers a "Lacie Shortcut Button" on the front, which launches any backup or library application.



Another feature I really like is that the "Lacie big disk quadra" offers data transfer at very fast rates. This is important when backing-up a wedding with a mega number of images. Transferring files is all about speed. Speed is good. Also, this model has a quadruple interface....it can be connected via FireWire 800, Firewire 400, Hi_Speed USB 2.0 or eSATA 3Gbits. I prefer the FireWire 800 with my MAC.


Finally, I really love the exclusive aluminum d2 heat sink design this model offers. It is fanless and operates quietly. Nice!
