With up to 120TB of capacity, the breakthrough performance of Thunderbolt 3 and RAID 5\/6, the LaCie 12big helps video professionals meet the data demands of 4\/5\/6K cameras. At up to 120TB, the LaCie 12big boasts a 50 percent higher capacity* than any other desktop direct attached storage solution on the market\u2014with a footprint smaller than a tablet. It features Seagate\u2019s enterprise-class drives with a five-year limited warranty for extraordinary reliability and data availability to safely store and edit massive amounts of ultra hi-res footage<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"OVERVIEW\">THUNDERBOLT 3 PERFORMANCE<\/h6>\n<p>For the 12big, LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance potential of Thunderbolt 3 technology and squeezed the absolute best speeds out of the hard drives. LaCie added a hardware RAID controller and 7200RPM drives, and the result is record-breaking speeds of up to 2600MB\/s**\u2014and 2400MB\/s in RAID 5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to see LaCie push the boundaries of speed, video bandwidth and compatibility with its latest Thunderbolt storage solution,\u201d said Jason Ziller, Intel\u2019s Director of Thunderbolt Marketing. \u201cProducts like the LaCie 12big help highlight what Thunderbolt 3 makes possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That kind of speed can slash time off nearly every post-production workflow task. Users can ingest hours of RAW footage from a Blackmagic<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> cinema camera into Adobe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Premiere<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Pro in a fraction of the time. They can then edit multiple streams of ProRes 422 (HQ), ProRes 4444 XQ, as well as uncompressed HD 10-bit and 12-bit video. For big projects packed with high-def clips, thumbnail and preview rendering becomes much more responsive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaCie is committed to helping video professionals master ever-increasing data demands by ensuring their irreplaceable data is secure, available on demand and always driving value,\u201d said Tim Bucher, Senior Vice President of Seagate and LaCie Branded Solutions, \u201cThe combination of higher spatial resolution and 3D imagery, as well as higher dynamic range and frame rates, is driving the need for high-capacity and high-speed digital storage systems. We purpose-built the LaCie 12big to have the speed, capacity and reliability to efficiently download and edit even the most demanding content\u2014so our customers can focus on making their creative vision a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With double the video bandwidth of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 lets the user daisy chain dual 4K displays or a single 5K display to the LaCie 12big. With two 4K displays, a video pro can spread out his\/her workspace by dedicating one display to the timeline and the other to previewing 4K footage. It is even possible to provide power to a compatible laptop through the Thunderbolt 3 cable**.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"OVERVIEW\">MASSIVE CAPACITY<\/h6>\n<p>With up to 120TB of capacity, the LaCie 12big can store 100 hours of 4K ProRes 4444 XQ footage in RAID 5<sup>\u25b2<\/sup>. With that capacity, it\u2019s possible to store footage from 60 LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt 2TB shuttle drives. Instead of buying a new storage device every time more capacity is needed, LaCie recommends pros invest up front in a future-proof, RAID-protected solution. This consolidated approach improves data access and security, which can save money in the long term.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"OVERVIEW\">ENTERPRISE CLASS<\/h6>\n<p>The LaCie 12big features 256MB cache, 7200RPM Seagate enterprise-class drives for superb accessibility, reliability and robust performance. Designed to operate 24\u00d77 on 16-bay racks (instead of 8\u00d75 operations for traditional hard drives), these HDDs are rated for 8760 hours of operation per year for extraordinary availability. The LaCie 12big also comes with a five-year limited warranty that covers drives, enclosure and spare parts.<\/p>\n<h6>NEW LACIE RAID MANAGER<\/h6>\n<p>The redesigned LaCie RAID Manager offers an intuitive interface to administer the LaCie 12big. A new and more user-friendly interface assists the user in setting up and monitoring storage. Wizards help easily create and manage volumes optimized for individual needs. Plus it offers advanced features such as CPU settings, auto rebuild, and drive diagnostics.<\/p>\n<h6>DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONALS<\/h6>\n<p>The LaCie 12big was designed by Neil Poulton to deliver usability and long-term reliability for serious video professionals.\u00a0From the front of the product, drive status LEDs keep track of drive health and RAID build status, and drives can be conveniently accessed. Ensuring long-term component health, the aluminum enclosure dissipates heat efficiently and four thermoregulated fans pull heat away from the drives. And even if a fan fails, the product is still fully functional. For universal compatibility, users can connect to USB-C laptops\u2014and even USB 3.0 computers via the included USB-C to USB-A cable.<\/p>\n<p>The LaCie 12big will be available in 48TB, 72TB, 96TB and 120TB capacities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imagestore.co.uk\/disk-storage-systems-nas-raid-jbod\/lacie-servers\/\">Buy here now.<\/a>\u00a0Or contact ImageStore on 02380 736500 (<a href=\"mailto:andy@imagestore.co.uk\">email<\/a>) to discuss any of your Data Storage requirements.<\/p>\n<p>LaCie, the premium brand from Seagate Technology, designs world-class external storage products for Apple<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and PC users.
