Back Up Your NAS Content
Get extra security and increase data portability by backing up
your 5big Network to an external hard drive through its USB
2.0 and eSATA 3GB/s ports. Backup with the 5big is easy and
customizable; you can opt for daily or weekly backups, or choose
a time or date that works for you. By using an incremental
backup system, the 5big Network automatically saves you time
by only backing up new files.
Add Terabytes to Your Network
The LaCie 5big Network is ideal for easily storing, sharing, securing,
and backing up your office’s files. It comes with five internal bays,
and up to an astonishing 7.5TB of storage capacity. You can
customize it even further by adding more external hard disks to
the 5big Network using its four external ports. Fully compatible
with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, it supports most
popular access protocols and allows up to 25 network users to
access it concurrently.
RAID Protection
Thanks to the secure RAID modes, including RAID 5 and RAID 6,
the 5big Network enables you to keep data access even if one
disk fails. The hot-swappable disk trays** even allow maintenance
without affecting your workflow. “Spare” modes allow a second
level of protection; a sort of “automatic maintenance” that will
immediately start rebuilding the RAID protection in case of a disk
failure. And with room for five disks, the 5big offers more capacity
than four-disk solutions in almost every RAID mode. Extra spare
disks are available as an option for immediate replacement.
