If this manual doesn't answer your questions or if you are having trouble, consult the Getting Help page. These pages will guide you through the process of connecting your LaCie product and will explain its features. What it's far more suited for is temporary storage – in RAID 0 it's fast enough to handle multiple HD video and audio streams, making the 4big Quadra one of the speediest solutions available.4big Quadra USB 3.0 User Manual 1 4BIG QUADRA USB 3.0 USER MANUAL CLICK HERE TO ACCESS UP-TO-DATE ONLINE VERSION of this document for the most recent content as well as for features such as expandable illustrations, easier navigation, and search capability.Ĥbig Quadra USB 3.0 User Manual 2 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the User Manual for the LaCie 4big Quadra USB 3.0. And unlike the Drobo's ability to expand as your needs grow, here you're investing in a set capacity – and as soon as you start dividing it by two, the 4big loses its 'bottomless pit' image. Of course, in this mode you lose the high transfer speed – the same uncached write under RAID 10 completed at 70MB/sec, almost half the speed of RAID 0, although still fast enough to handle real-time encoding of uncompressed HD video.ĭespite this, it's still hard to get over how expensive the 4big is.Įven with the inflated drive prices taken into account, the base unit is still over £300 more than its obvious rival, Data Robotics' Drobo, filled with four 1TB drives. This creates a single mountable drive in which up to two of the four physical disks can fail without data loss occurring. The most useful of the seven RAID modes the 4big offers is RAID 10 – that's a nested level containing a stripe (RAID 0) of two mirrors (RAID 1) – although half the 4big's capacity is sacrificed as a mirror. While you get the capacity you've paid for, if a single disk fails you lose everything. It's certainly fast, but it's also a very, very bad idea if you're looking to store any important data on the device. As a result, it's capable of an uncached, 256k block random write at an impressive 132MB/sec over eSATA. The fans inside are temperature controlled, only audible during intense disk operations.īy default, the 4big is configured as a RAID 0 device, writing data evenly over all four disks. Airflow is reassuringly well thought out, considering the valuable payload. While its purpose may be mundane, this isn't a unit designed to be tucked away out of sight its sleek aluminium shell complements any Apple kit beautifully.
