LaCie, no stranger to the storage game, is putting out a unique-looking and high-capacity RAID network-attached storage box . It’ll hold up to 7.5TB at the moment, which is a huge amount but looks smaller every day as storage capacities skyrocket. I’d say a year ago a terabyte was like “wow, a terabyte?” and now it’s like “yeah, let me get a couple of those.”
It’s got 5 slots for SATA HDDs, which puts it in capacity above its natural enemy, the Drobo , although the latter still has the intelligent data backup that makes it so attractive to the cautious and paranoid. I like the big “eye” but it would have been nice to have a functional display on there. It does say it has a built-in torrent client, however, which is both insane and awesome.
