Overview
Think bigger. Deliver faster
Designed to protect immense amounts of hi-res footage, along with the speed to edit 4/5/6K video, the 6big Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array from LaCie offers up to 84TB of storage split over six hot-swappable 3.5" hard drives, each of which utilises one of the array's SATA drive bays.
Each drive is equipped with a minimum cache of 64MB and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, both of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers. The array itself is equipped with two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports and one 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 port, each of which use USB Type-C connectivity. For those whose system does not have a USB Type-C port, the 6big is compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 via an included USB Type-C to Type-A adapter cable.
Fast I/O
For the 6big, LaCie harnessed the performance potential of the Thunderbolt 3 I/O and its fast data transfer rates. They added a hardware RAID controller and 7200 rpm drives, resulting in read speeds of up to 1,400 MB/s in RAID 0 and 1,200 MB/s in RAID 5.
Lightning-Fast Video Workflows
Thunderbolt 3 can slash time off nearly every task in a post-production workflow. Ingest hours of raw footage from a Blackmagic Cinema Camera into Adobe Premiere and edit multiple streams of PreRes 422 HQ, ProRes 444 XQ, and uncompressed 10-bit and 12-bit HD video. For big projects packed with high-def clips, thumbnail and preview rendering becomes much more responsive.
Daisy-Chain Multiple Devices
With double the video bandwidth of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 lets you daisy chain dual 4K displays or a single 5K display to the LaCie 6big. It's even possible to power a compatible laptop through the Thunderbolt 3 connection.
5 Year Limited Warranty
IronWolf Pro drives are covered with a 5-year limited warranty that includes Rescue Data Recovery Services. If something goes wrong, LaCie will replace your drive and recover your files with one in-lab data recovery service at no additional cost.
