Seagate 48TB 8big Rack Thunderbolt 2

. Fibre Channel DAS has been dethroned. Featuring Thunderbolt 2 speeds of up to 1330MB/s and 48TB in a 1U rackmount size the LaCie 8big Rack has seized the crown. Video pros meet the king of storage for 4K workflows. Thunderbolt 2 Speeds for the 4K Era With Thunderbolt 2 technology the interface is no longer the performance bottleneck. For the 8big Rack LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance potential of the Thunderbolt 2 I/O squeezing the absolute best speeds out of the hard disks. Add a hardware RAID controller and 7200 RPM disks and the result is incredible sustained speeds of up to 1330MB/s that turbocharge 4K workflows file transfers or backups. With this kind of speed videographers can work directly from RAW files in Apple Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere get maximum quality
from footage and see edits in real time. No need to first convert footage into a lower resolution. Avid Pro Tools users will notice incredibly smooth audio mixing even when working with hundreds of tracks simultaneously. Professional photography agencies and other Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture users can browse through archived libraries of thousands of RAW and edited images with zero lag. Bulletproof Reliability With full component redundancy the LaCie 8big Rack gives professionals superb reliability and data security. Fans disks and PSU are fully redundant hot swappable and user-serviceable. And hardware RAID 5/6 provides security against disk failure and data loss without compromising on transfer speeds. Whatever the contingency zero data loss and zero downtime. Opt for the version
with Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 hard disks for superb accessibility reliability and robust performance. Designed to operate 24×7 on 16-bay racks these HDDs feature 2 million hours MTBF (mean time between failure) for extraordinary availability. The LaCie 8big with enterprise-class drives also comes with a five-year warranty that covers drives enclosure and spare parts ensuring a solid long-term investment. These drives feature 128MB cache 7200RPM and rack environment optimization offering the ideal solution for handling aggressive workloads. For maximum reliability of your critical data depend on the LaCie 8big with enterprise-class drives. The 8big Racks innovative cooling system prolongs component lifespan featuring three efficient thermoregulated cooling fans to drive airflow. A
metal sheet beneath the disks dissipates heat and cool air flows under the sheet to drain hot air away. Above and between the two rows of disks air flows from front to back conducting heat away from sensitive components. The Most Powerful I/O Reinvented Thunderbolt technology redefined external storage with its speed and versatility for bandwidth-intensive applications. Thunderbolt 2 builds on those advances by doubling the speed potential to 20Gb/s and enabling simultaneous RAW 4K video editing and display. And thanks to support for DisplayPort 1.2 its now possible to daisy chain higher-resolution displays such as 4K monitors. In addition to higher performances the Thunderbolt 2 I/O offers dramatically simpler connections than Fibre Channel. Connect the LaCie 8big Rack to a computer via
the Thunderbolt cable—no HBA (host bus adapter) necessary—and instantly the volume mounts on your OS. And unlike Fibre Channel Thunderbolt 2 is truly a plug and play and single-vendor solution. No port mapping or multipathing is required to achieve this performance. Thunderbolt technology even supports optical cables which means you could connect a LaCie 8big Rack to a computer located up to 60 meters (197 feet) away. Thanks to dual Thunderbolt 2 ports you can daisy chain up to six devices to a computer via a single cable (included in the box). For example you could connect a total of 36 LaCie 8big Racks via the six Thunderbolt 2 ports on a single Mac Pro enabling more than 1.7PB (1728TB) and more than 3000MB/s—in a me
