Back Up Your NAS Content

Get extra security and increase data portability by backing up 
your 5big Network to an external hard drive through its USB 
2.0 and eSATA 3GB/s ports. Backup with the 5big is easy and 
customizable; you can opt for daily or weekly backups, or choose 
a time or date that works for you. By using an incremental 
backup system, the 5big Network automatically saves you time 
by only backing up new files.

Add Terabytes to Your Network  

The LaCie 5big Network is ideal for easily storing, sharing, securing, 
and backing up your office’s files. It comes with five internal bays, 
and up to an astonishing 7.5TB of storage capacity. You can 
customize it even further by adding more external hard disks to 
the 5big Network using its four external ports. Fully compatible 
with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, it supports most 
popular access protocols and allows up to 25 network users to 
access it concurrently.

RAID Protection

Thanks to the secure RAID modes, including RAID 5 and RAID 6, 
the 5big Network enables you to keep data access even if one  
disk fails. The hot-swappable disk trays** even allow maintenance 
without affecting your workflow. “Spare” modes allow a second 
level of protection; a sort of “automatic maintenance” that will 
immediately start rebuilding the RAID protection in case of a disk  
failure. And with room for five disks, the 5big offers more capacity 
than four-disk solutions in almost every RAID mode. Extra spare 
disks are available as an option for immediate replacement.
