Even though these are 5400 rpm “Green” drives, they are not the fastest we’ve seen (averaging 50MB/s). These drives are known for their extremely low power consumption which is perfect in the NAS environment (drawing just 5.6w on read/write according to Samsung). These 1tb (2x 500MB platters) drives have a 32MB cache, SATA II interface and run at a power-friendly 5400 rpm. LaCie has chosen the Samsung Spinpoint HD103SI as their drive of choice. Lets look at what parts LaCie has chosen to makeup the 2Big Network 2. We’ll get a closer look at that in our “Under the Hood” Section. We also see our drive bays here and their locks which can be toggled with a fingernail or coin.

Our USB type A port can be use for another external drive (which can be shared via software but not included in RAID) or setup the NAS to also offer a print server. The USB type B port also allows for wired administration of the NAS via included software. The eSATA and USB type B ports allow you to allocate part of the drive capacity to an external drive. This is quite the vast amount of connection options for a NAS. Starting at the top we see the fan exhaust, power switch, LAN port, eSATA port, USB Type B, USB Type A, and finally power. Moving around to the back we see how versitile LaCie has made this NAS. Lets just say this can double as a flashlight if needed. The front has only the power orb which looks nice a sleek but is annoyingly bright. The all aluminum casing and “Heat-sink” style design make for a really cool look and feel.

Getting our first look at the product I’m amazed by the weight of it (almost 6 lbs). I have no doubt that this package could withstand shipping without a problem. It’s awesome to see such secure packaging for a high-importance such as this one. Foam on each side and a box for all accessories that keeps everything from moving. The included packaging and protection is stellar.

Lets take a look at how LaCie has shipped the 2Big Network 2 and what accessories they have included.

LaCie has recently released the update to their NAS Line. In the past, NAS’s have been aimed purely at backups and data storage but recently there has been a shift to media storage and serving. The application and use of a NAS in a small business or home environment is priceless: “You’re only as good as your last backup”.
