Today LaCie announced the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series is now available for purchase.
It is the first portable solution to feature the 10Gb/s speeds of Thunderbolt technology. This next-generation Little Big Disk is the first product in LaCie's series of Thunderbolt solutions.
The LaCie Little Big Disk offers ultra-fast data transfers, complete system backup in minutes, and faster content editing than ever before.
Featuring a pair of 2.5" drives in a Mac OS RAID configuration, the Little Big Disk delivers stunning read speeds more than 480MB/s in SSD and up to 190MB/s in HDD.
Users can daisy chain several Little Big Disks to maximize the interface's capabilities and reach transfer rates around 800MB/s.
It supports multiple RAID levels (0,1 and JBOD) and daisy chaining for storage expansion or connecting other peripherals. Additionally, it features a heat sink casing and quiet fan for dual cooling.
The LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series HDD models are available through Apple retail stores worldwide and Apple.com. The SSD model will be shipping this October.
