I never really cared much for storage devices before this, no matter how funky they looked or how exciting the press releases made them sound. Ok, so maybe I was taken a back a little by the singular red light on this LaCie storage unit, but what really caught my attention was the insane amount of data that this monster could hold - a whopping ten terabytes.
Achievable by providing you with five hot-swappable drive bays, the aptly named 5big Network claims to be "the most complete five-bay RAID solution for small and medium workgroups or offices that need large storage and backup capacity, improved performance and advanced security."
But as always, with great volumes comes a great price tag. The 10TB 5big Network retails at US$2,099 on the LaCie website. Ouch.
