General Features
Part numberThunderbolt 3
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.
Capacity
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.
Organize
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
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 optimization, improved power management, and workloads of up to 300TB per year.
Peace of Mind
IronWolf Pro drives are covered with a 3-year limited warranty that includes Rescue Data Recovery Services. If something goes wrong, your drive will be replaced and your data recovered with one in-lab data recovery service at no additional cost.
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.
RAID & Monitoring
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.
Design
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.
