Description

Designed so you can rein in the stampede of data from hi-res 4K cameras, such as a RED cinema camera, and slash time off your post-production workflow, the LaCie 6big Dock 24TB 6-Bay RAID Array Thunderbolt 3 offers up to 24TB of storage split over six hot-swappable 4TB 3.5" IronWolf Pro NAS hard drives, each of which utilises one of the array's SATA III 6 Gb/s drive bays. Each drive is equipped with a cache of 128MB and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, both of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers. The array itself is equipped with two 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports and one 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 port, each of which use USB Type-C connectivity. For those whose system does not have a USB Type-C port, the 6big is compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 via an included USB Type-C to Type-A adapter cable.

The 6big supports a variety of hardware-controlled RAID modes, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, each of which offers speed, data redundancy, or a combination of both. Using Thunderbolt 3, RAID 0 supports read and write speeds of up to 1400 MB/s, while a RAID 5 configuration supports read speeds up to 1200 MB/s and write speeds up to 1150 MB/s. When using a USB 3.1 connection, RAID 0 read and write speeds can go as high as 400 MB/s, while a RAID 5 configuration yields read and write speeds as high as 350 MB/s. Please bear in mind that actual data rates may vary depending on operating environment and other factors. Also, please be aware that RAID 0 does not support hot-swapping.

The 6big 24TB 6-Bay Thunderbolt 3 RAID Array operates using a 100-240V 250W power supply at 50/60 Hz, can be used in 24x7 operating environments, and supports storage expansion via daisy-chaining. The array also supports one 5K display or, via daisy-chaining, dual 4K displays. Its processing and display power will allow users to edit multiple streams of ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 444 XQ, and uncompressed 10/12-bit HD video. Included with this RAID array is a power cable, a Thunderbolt 3 cable, a USB 3.1 Type-C cable, and a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable.

Features

Fast I/O

For the 6big, LaCie harnessed the performance potential of the Thunderbolt 3 I/O and its fast data transfer rates. They added a hardware RAID controller and 7200 rpm drives, resulting in read speeds of up to 1400 MB/s in RAID 0 and 1200 MB/s in RAID 5.

For Lightning-Fast Video Workflows

Thunderbolt 3 can slash time off nearly every task in a post-production workflow. Ingest hours of raw footage from a Blackmagic Cinema Camera into Adobe Premiere Pro and edit multiple streams of ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 444 XQ, and uncompressed 10-bit and 12-bit HD video. For big projects packed with high-def clips, thumbnail and preview rendering becomes much more responsive

For Your Smartest Workspace

With double the video bandwidth of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 lets you daisy-chain dual 4K displays or a single 5K display to the LaCie 6big. With two 4K displays, you can spread out your workspace by dedicating one display to your timeline and the other to previewing 4K footage. It's even possible to power a compatible laptop through the Thunderbolt 3 connection, which delivers up to 15W.

Compatible with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2

It's possible to connect the 6big to devices with previous generations of Thunderbolt. Just use a Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter (sold separately), provided your Mac is running macOS Sierra 10.12 or later. Thunderbolt will deliver speeds of up to 10 Gb/s, while Thunderbolt 2 will deliver up to 20 Gb/s.

Consolidate

Instead of buying a new storage device every time you need more capacity, invest up front in a future-proof, RAID-protected solution. Improve data access and security, which can save money in the long term.

Organise

Divide your storage into multiple volumes according to your workflow. Create one safe volume for backing up source media, another for ingesting transcoded clips and current projects, and another for archiving final footage.

Expand

Thunderbolt 3 lets you daisy chain up to six devices to a computer via a single cable so you can connect up to six LaCie 6big arrays together for storage expansion.

Enterprise-Class Drives

The LaCie 6big uses IronWolf Pro drives that are designed for multi-drive environments with a wide range of capacities. IronWolf Pro drives also feature RAID optimisation, improved power management, and workloads of up to 300TB per year.

No Downtime

If your system fails, simply make a claim and you'll have a replacement unit within a few days, with 25 days to return the failed unit.

Hardware RAID Modes

RAID 0 provides the fastest data speeds with no redundancy, while RAID 5 and RAID 6 provide speed and data redundancy. RAID 5 can sustain one drive failure without any data loss, while RAID 6 can sustain two simultaneous drive failures with no data loss.

LaCie RAID Manager

With Powerful features and a user-friendly setup, LaCie's RAID Manager gives you an intuitive interface to administer the LaCie 6big.

Compact Footprint

Get massive capacity on your desktop in a footprint that's smaller than an iPad Air.

Front-Accessible Drives

Conveniently and quickly remove and replace drives from the front of the product. Keep track of drive health and RAID build status with the front-facing drive status LEDs.
