For creatives who require both expansive storage and robust data protection, the LaCie 8big Pro 5 32TB 8-Bay Thunderbolt 5 RAID Array (8 x 4TB) delivers the performance and reliability needed for intensive projects, including 8K video workflows. Designed for seamless compatibility with both Windows and Mac systems, this array offers a total storage capacity of 32TB, arranged as eight 4TB hard drives. Your host system can connect via a Thunderbolt 5 port that supplies 140W of power delivery, ideal for charging and powering devices. Two additional Thunderbolt 5 ports each offer 30W of power and enable daisy-chaining of peripherals such as extra storage or monitors. A 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port is also included, delivering up to 15W of power for further connectivity needs. For users without Thunderbolt 5, the enclosure remains fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 connections.
Flexible RAID Options and Performance
The 8big Pro 5 leverages a hardware-based controller to support a range of RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 60, allowing you to prioritize data redundancy, performance, or a balanced mix of both according to your workflow requirements. JBOD mode is also available for those who do not need a RAID setup. When set to RAID 0, this array achieves transfer speeds up to 2800 MB/s, while a RAID 5 setup allows for transfer speeds up to 2500 MB/s, providing a blend of speed and data security.
Comprehensive Package and Protection
Included with the LaCie 8big Pro 5 are essential accessories and software to get you started: power cables, a Thunderbolt 5 cable, LaCie’s Toolkit software, and a 2-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud Pro. Your investment is further secured by a limited 5-year warranty, which features data recovery services to add peace of mind.
