The LaCie 8big Rack is a strong competitor for Fibre Channel DAS in professional 4K video workflows. The 8big Rack offers higher speeds and significantly simpler connections without the complex features of an expensive Fibre Channel setup. Additionally, the LaCie 8big Rack provides an impressive 64 TB in 1U, saving valuable space in server racks. Furthermore, the 8big Rack also offers hardware RAID 5/6, optionally with enterprise-class hard drives, and the ability to expand to Mac Pro with up to 1.7 PB, along with groundbreaking innovations in usability.

Particularly suitable for:

Post-production: The Thunderbolt 2 bandwidth allows professional users to work directly with 4K RAW files in Apple Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere, maintaining the full quality of the video material and seeing changes in real-time. Hardware RAID 5/6 and remarkable scalability make this product the perfect complement for a new Mac Pro, especially for 4K video workflows.

Professional photo agencies: With high data transfer rates, fast search times, and scalability, professional photo agencies and other users of Apple Lightroom or Apple Aperture can browse photo libraries with thousands of RAW files and edited images almost without delay.

Professional audio studios: Thanks to its high performance, users of Avid Pro Tools and other software can seamlessly work with hundreds of tracks and mix audio more fluidly.
