The New Era for Speed

The LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt™* Series heralds a new era for storage performance. Featuring a preconfigured RAID0 striped set with optional SSDs or 7200rpm hard disks** through the 10Gb/s Thunderbolt interface, it delivers astonishing transfer rates. Reach read speeds of up to 480MB/s with the SSD model, and 190MB/s with the 5400rpm hard disk model. Now you can truly get the power of fibre channel rackmount storage--in a portable solution!

You can even daisy chain multiple Little Big Disks together to increase overall transfer rates. The more products you chain together, the higher performance you get. Daisy chain four Little Big Disks with SSDs to maximize Thunderbolt interface capabilities and reach transfer rates of around 800MB/s (up to 782MB/s with the 7200rpm disk drives).

All in all, the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series makes it possible to acquire, edit, and play back multiple uncompressed A/V streams directly from the drive with ultimate ease and portability, no matter the size or resolution of the content.

Next Generation Interface

Beyond performance, Thunderbolt technology is the most flexible interface ever created. It permits daisy chaining up to six compatible peripherals and combines two existing communication protocols--one for data and the other for display--simultaneously over a single copper cable (sold separately from Apple.com). Each cable provides two channels with 10Gb/s bandwidth for both uplink and downlink. This means that video and data can be pushed and pulled both ways without compromising bandwidth.

As a result, Thunderbolt technology enables new and exciting ways to streamline your life at home and in the office. Simplify connections between your A/V devices and computer peripherals by daisy chaining them all together so you only need a single port on your laptop. It's even mini DisplayPort backward-compatible so you can, for example, connect your high-end LaCie 324i display directly to your Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series.

Featherweight Powerhouse

The Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series weighs just 1.4 lbs., making it a portable powerhouse. It fits in the palm of your hand, features its own cooling system, and can either be connected to displays or laptops. Opt for the Little Big Disk with 7200rpm hard disks and get up to 1TB storage capacity per unit (up to 2TB with 5400rpm disks drives or 240GB with SSDs). While presenting their work to a client, photographers can browse smoothly through photos in their digital libraries while experiencing zero lag time. Away from the studio, videographers can dramatically reduce the time to publish a project. They simply download their footage directly from a compatible camera to the Little Big Disk to start the editing process on the field. The model with SSDs will be popular with post-production teams thanks to its support for multiple uncompressed video streams and multichannel audio.

Aluminum Reliability and Security

The Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series is enclosed in LaCie's classic d2 casing, designed by Neil Poulton. The resilient aluminum armor protects the data inside whether the Little Big Disk is in the field or in transit. Not only is it constructed of sturdy aluminum, but its unique heat sink design provides 60% more surface area, which draws heat away from the internal components, keeping it cool and safe at all times. What's more, its front power button allows you to turn off the Little Big Disk without breaking a daisy chain, always with energy conservation in mind.
