Q: We currently have 3 LaCie d2 quadra (1TB) drives and would like to purchase 3 more for backup storage. Also, we were thinking about buying 2 RAID drives. What and who do you recommend? We will mostly use these drives to back up media files from our 2 FinalCut systems.
A: So, you'll want something with fast transfer speeds, large storage capacity (because those video files take up a lot of room) and something pretty safe/secure. Because you already have
LaCie Hard Drives, I recommend you checkout the
4Big.
With burst transfer rates reaching up to 200-230MB/s* through eSATA 3Gbits, the 4big fits perfectly with most applications that demand high speed, such as photo, pre-press, AV projects, and even HD post-production. Compatible with Time Machine™, it also comes with Genie Backup Manager Pro™ and Intego Backup Manager Pro™, for customizable backup and computer recovery.
