LaCie intros 2big trio of professional RAID drives

We know, you're probably still gawking at that shiny hunk of hard drive that LaCie announced earlier today, but for the pros out there, this lineup is likely to be more your style. The 2big family -- which will include the 2big Dual, 2big Triple and the 2big Network -- range in capacity from 1TB to 2TB, and all include a new "thermoregulated progressive smart fan" to keep things cool and quiet. As for the 2Big Dual, you'll find eSATA II and USB 2.0, while the 2Big Triple offers up both flavors of FireWire / USB 2.0 and the 2Big Network "is an Ethernet version that can act as a file sharing or backup server." Pricing on the trifecta will vary based on storage space and connectivity options, but you can find these hanging out in September and starting at $399.

Fecking? This isn't high school anymore. You can say fuck.

Any bets on how long before 2 TB drives are below $500 at Costco? They're currently at $799.

That's how I buy my harddrives. When I need a drive I wait until the size I want drops to $500 or less.

Yes, I have a lot of porn.

Considering a "2TB drive" as you refer to it is simply made up of 2 x 1TB drives in some kind of an external housing, you should see 2TB "drives" for under $500 when you see 1TB OEM internal Drives drop below $225 each. Right now they are $340 or higher. So I think you have a little ways to go.

Personally I would just be buying the WD7500AAKS (750GB) drives right now instead. They are fast and the price is falling on them almost every week.
Put them in whatever kind of external housing you like if you dont want them internal.

Hm, I really need a drive to make a backup of my hard drive four times. I understand the professional label on this thing.

Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

Can you give one of these away?

I've had far too many Lacie drives fail to ever consider buying one again. maybe it's because they are so popular that I hear about them dying so often between myself and my friends, but it's not worth the risk, IMO.
