Big Disk Extreme+ Triple Interface
Featuring high-performance storage (1 TB of total disc space), high capacity and a user-friendly quick backup feature for data safety and recovery, the Big Disk Extreme+ packs a powerful 1-2-3 punch. Its capacity, combined with ultra-fast transfer rates, make it ideal for data-hungry applications or sharing and archiving large-scale video projects.

This versatile storage solution offers a terabyte of storage, along with FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces. This triple-interface solution gives professionals the versatility needed to work in almost any environment. Professional users working with very large, resource-intensive files can take advantage of the high throughput of the FireWire 800 (with burst transfer rates up to 90 MB/s,) as well as the universal compatibility of USB. This makes the Big Disk Extreme+ especially convenient for video editors working in SD/HD, or for quick individual workstation storage in a small business setting.

LaCie's trademark "Shortcut Button"--the blue button in front of the drive--can be used to launch any utility--such as music, slideshows, or video--with a single push, or back up your valuable data. The Big Disk Extreme+ also includes EMC's Retrospect Express software for automated backups that will give you even greater peace of mind.

Convenient and Easy to Use
The Big Disk Extreme+ is a hot plug and play solution that offers built-in RAID 0 performance (with FireWire 800 speed) that requires no software configuration or drivers. Expandable via FireWire with other FireWire hard drives, the Big Disk can also be daisy chained with peripherals such as CD-RW, AIT or DV cameras. In fact, several Big Disks can even be daisy chained to the same computer and combined together to further increase capacity, speed or security via FireWire.

For extra convenience, the drive also features a power-saving three-position switch that allows for customized "Triple Power Management" -- "auto" for energy efficiency; "on" for instant access; and "off" for complete data protection.

Heat-Dissipating d2 Design by Neil Poulton
Designed by world renown designer Neil Poulton, the Big Disk Extreme+ boasts a sleek, handsome metal body that's ideal for naturally dissipating the system's internal drive heat. Its unique design actually draws heat away from the internal drive toward the external casing. The casing absorbs heat and will take advantage of its large surface to further dissipate the heat away from the drive. The Big Disk Extreme+ also includes an advanced cooling system with a thermoregulated, progressive quiet fan that keeps the drive safe and prolongs its life and reliability.

Engineered with a compact 5.25-inch 1U form factor to fit seamlessly into most work environments, and more compact and lightweight than RAID towers, the Big Disk Extreme+ can be placed in a space-saving upright position with the included drive stand, or can be stacked, rack-mounted and even daisy-chained with other drives (via FireWire) to increase capacity. An optional LaCie Rackmount Kit can be used to incorporate the drive into a standard 19-inch computer equipment rack, and the drive can also be placed in the optional LaCie Desk Rack (also sold separately).

The LaCie Big Disk Extreme+ measures 6.8 x 1.7 x 10.6 inches (HxWxD), weighs 5.5 pounds, and is backed by LaCie's 3-year limited warranty.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Memory
The only problem I have with this external harddrive, is that, I'm missing 160 GB. This makes the difference in needed memory.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Strike Two... I Quit
I couldn't believe it. The first drive I ordered showed up with the sound of something rattling around inside. LaCie has no phone number to get support, so I tried the email method. While I was waiting, Amazon said that they would just send me a new one. Great! It arrived with the same rattling sound. In the meantime, LaCie gave me permission to open the case... I opened the latest drive and found two of the four screws that secure the internal board floating around. I put the screws in and the drive seemed to work O.K., except that I could not use it as a media drive in Final Cut Pro using the Firewire 800 for capture. After some time with Apple support, trying different things, and trying another drive altogether... Conclusion: A bad drive! It is going back... and I ordered a different brand ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Failed After 2 and A Half Years
I purchased my Lacie in July of 06 for backup of my Digital Performer files as well as mixes of my music. The drive was always turned off overnight and was almost never on for more than 9 hours a day.

I had partitioned the drive in half and even did the normal Mac maintenance.

Two weeks ago I started hearing strange noises from the drive and noticed that the light on the unit was constantly blinking as well as causing my G5 to completely stop working.

Upon a Disk Utility check I was alerted that the drive had problems.
Having backed up everything on another drive I went and erased and reformatted the drive. Put everything back and all was well for about a week.Then the noises started again. By the time I tried to eject the drive, it had completely wiped ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - LaCie is a bad gamble
I purchased an earlier model (one with the "porsche" design), only to find that the quality of the drive enclosure was total crap. Very poorly designed, and looked cheesy as well... Might as well have been of paper mache. Dissatisfied, I returned it for a Western Digital MyBook which is still running strong two years later.

With that said, LaCie may have improved their quality since then. I generally try to stay clear of French or Italian products in general unless its food :)


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another amazing LaCie product!
This is at least my fourth LaCie Big Disk Extreme hard drive and I absolutely love all of them! One of my favorite brands and am sure that I will be buying more of these in the future!
