Power Savings
Traditional RAID systems can consume a lot of power, but the
LaCie 4big Quadra Enterprise Class is different. LaCie has reduced
power consumption by 30%
■
compared to the previous 4-disk RAID
generations. Moreover, with the “Auto” mode of the triple position
power button, the 4big is able to automatically go into standby
mode—synchronized with the computer activity—and reduces the
power consumption by up to 80%. For maintenance, the LaCie
4big Quadra Enterprise Class can optionally be disconnected from
the computer during a RAID protection rebuild—the LaCie 4big
Quadra Enterprise Class will complete the task in standalone mode,
and you can switch off your computer!
Quiet and Reliable Operation
For the best and most reliable cooling system for the LaCie 4big
Quadra Enterprise Class, LaCie has chosen Noctua and the
NF-P12 fan technology, designed in Austria, and automatically
thermoregulated by SMART commands. The nine-blade design and
the vortex-control notches of the blower provide superior pressure and
airflow performance, all at a volume fewer than 19dBA. The best-
in-its-class Noctua NF-P12 is rated at 150,000 hours MTBF, and its
ultra-quiet design makes it perfect for even the most noise-sensitive
creative environment.
This attention to detail allows the LaCie 4big
Quadra Enterprise Class to be from 30% (seek) to 46% (idle) quieter
than traditional comparable systems.

ULTRA QUIET
Enterprise Class Disks
The LaCie 4big Quadra Enterprise Class comes with SATA internal Enterprise
Class disks with an unbeatable 5-year warranty. These high-quality internal
disks feature 32MB cache memory and 7200RPM, and target an ambitious
1.2 million hours MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure). Designed for a RAID
tower, they have been developed with rotational vibration resistance
technology, helping them to be even more reliable and robust. Spare drives
are also available on the LaCie website so users have the option to keep full
protection for their data in secure RAID configurations.
