LaCie 5big Network
October, 2008
$800.00
Pros
- extremely affordable raid6 product with 5 drive bays.
- supports 1.5tb and 2tb SATA drives
- can read from FAT, FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, EXT2, EXT3, REISERFS and XFS formatted drives. Unclear if it is REISERFS3 or REISERS4 that is supported. Unclear if EXT4 will be supported in the future.
Cons
- not available as a shell, you need to buy the unit with hard drives. The drives LaCie puts in here are definitely not what a knowledgeable person would use. (cheap hitachi's provided at premium cost)
- Customer service/support from LaCie is usually regarded as terrible.
- spare drives / drive trays are available, at an exorbitant price, and only as a drive/tray combo, not tray alone.
