Post-Production Powerhouse
When uncompromising performance and
abundant storage capacity are not up for
debate, LaCie 12big Rack Serial rises to
the occasion. With four enclosures hosting
a whopping 48TB, even the most media-
hungry projects will find room to spare. Turn
a workstation from a simple link in the chain
of content creation to a one-stop, turnkey
suite. Using the software post-production
package of your choice, such as Apple’s
Final Cut Studio or Adobe’s Creative Suite,
you can integrate all graphics, video, sound
creation, and editing in one convenient
location. Employing RAID 50*** (as RAID 5
at RAID controller level and RAID 0 at OS
level) is an added safety feature that will
guard the integrity of the media files in the
event of disk failure. In fact, this configuration
can withstand the simultaneous loss of four
drives, one per chassis. Performance is also
boosted when connecting to the storage using
two of the controller’s serial ports, producing
astounding transfer rates up to 795 MB/s**.
Expandable, secure storage matched with
boundless speed makes the LaCie 12big Rack
Serial the ideal storage solution for the most
media intensive projects.

Solution
The IT manager entrusted to build a network
solution that requires secure, stable storage
need look no further than LaCie 12big Rack
Serial. Economy meets flexibility with the
option to start small and grow at the pace of
an office. Begin with as little as 6TB, knowing
that expansion is effortless since each LaCie
12big Rack Serial enclosure has 12 slots ready
for use. If one enclosure is filled, simply daisy
chain an additional unit to suit the increased
demand for storage.
Performance and security are crucial for any
storage solution and the LaCie 12big Rack
Serial offers assurances on both counts.

of that, the LaCie 12big Rack Serial comes with
