1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie
2big USB 3.0. The 2big USB 3.0 is the ultimate approach to a
flexible RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks)
solution, with its ability to manage various RAID levels for a wide
range of applications.
Since needs differ among all users, the LaCie 2big USB 3.0 allows
you to choose between faster transfer rates or file mirroring with a
simple flip of a switch. For high-speed demanding programs, such
as video editing or graphics, you may choose RAID 0 (FAST). If
data backup is important, RAID 1(SAFE) will keep a copy of each
file on the 2big’s two disks. Providing greater integrity and avail-
ability than standard hard disk storage, RAID technology is one of
the best means to protect your data.
With the USB 3.0 interface, you will experience enhanced transfer
rates to compliment whatever RAID level you choose.
