The LaCie 5big NAS Pro is currently available and comes in 3 versions: a diskless model at $499, 10TB at $1,139, and 20TB at $2,199. Users may not see all 10TB of course as they will have the option to select different RAID schemes (0, 1, 5, 5+ spare) which may limit usable capacity. The drives are a solid 7,200 RPM and each hold 2TB. In documentation, Seagate identifies these Desktop HDDs as the new version of their previous model Barracuda drives, just with a new naming convention. Our 5big NAS Pro review model shipped with 5 Seagate Desktop HDDs providing 10TB of total capacity. Designed for small businesses, LaCie’s target market is offices with up to 50 concurrent users. Hardware features include five drive bays, a solid aluminum structure, and plenty of connectivity via USB 3.0 and gigabit Ethernet ports. The updated OS offers a single user interface for local and cloud storage creating a hybrid cloud via Wuala (the cloud provider with which LaCie merged a few years back). LaCie utilizes their own LaCie NAS OS3 in this model, diverging from the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials in the 5big Office + NAS. The 5big NAS Pro is LaCie’s latest NAS featuring the Neil Poulton design users are long familiar with as well as an updated 2.13GHz dual-core Intel 64-bit Atom processor and an impressive 4GB of RAM.
