Product Description:
Designed to satisfy the data sharing and backup needs of small offices, the LaCie 2big Network represents the new generation of shared storage with security. This unique Ethernet storage solution enables you to easily share professional files and to make them accessible from anywhere via FTP or HTTP. It can act as a file-sharing server, a backup server or an FTP server. Available network capacity can be expanded by attaching up to 2 USB hard drives.The new user-friendly LaCie Ethernet Agent makes setup simple and enables accessing, mapping and configuring the drives on your office's network. The 2big Network's compatibility with Mac, Windows and Linux machines without having to install drivers make it the ideal file-sharing solution for small businesses.Get maximum storage capacity or extra data security in one affordable yet professional 2-disk RAID solution. Easily and quickly select your RAID mode with the manual switch on the back of the drive. For maximum capacity, choose BIG with concatenation of the two hard drives. For maximum protection, choose SAFE 100 (RAID 1) for automatic mirroring of one disk to the other (available capacity = 50%); if one disk fails, data remains accessible on the other one and the defective disk can be replaced easily with an optional hot-swappable disk.The heat sink metal design naturally draws heat away from the hard disk's internal components to help keep it cool and improve reliability. The 2big Network can be stacked or rackmounted to conform to every work environment. The large glowing blue button adds more than character - it functions as a 1-click data-sharing button for automatic file transfers from a USB key. Just push the button; your data is immediately sharable with your colleagues.

I have two of these drives on my network, I liked the first one so much I went ahead and got a second one to give me a combined 1GB RAID 1 network storage. Used in the RAID 1 mode, the data is automatically written to both discs so if one ever crashes (or when) the data is duplicated with no backups needed.
After about the third total wipe-out of all my data and subsequent restoration woes resulting in less than complete data restoration I decided to go to the network RAID 1 drives. ... Read More

I am using this for backup and serving media files on my home network. Since I need Internet access to the files, I was thinking of getting one of the HP MediaSmart Servers using Windows Home Server. However, after reading mixed reviews of Windows Home Server, and since I already have a small PC with Win2K acting as a home server, I decided to add network attached storage instead. I can manage Internet access through the existing server.
So far, the drive is working fine. It is built ... Read More
Rating:  - Major Security Flaw
Pros: Good network hard drive if you are looking for something that mirrors automatically.
Cons:
It is possible to bypass all security permissions on this LaCie 2Big Network hard drive via FTP. The default `admin' password will not change on the FTP side of the user login even after changing the admin login password. This allows full access to the hard drive via the administrators login to the FTP.
