LaCie dabbled in the CES extravaganza with a few minor offerings (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/lacie-serves-up-lacinema-mini-hd-network-server-and-wuala-infus/), but it decided to wait a few weeks for things to calm down before busting out a new range of wares. Today, the outfit is slinging out a trio of products in the freshly created Enterprise Class: the d2 Quadra Enterprise Class, 2big Quadra Enterprise Class and the 4big Quadra Enterprise Class. Obviously engineered for the more hardcore among us, these units pack enterprise-class SATA drives, a five-year warranty, 128-bit AES hardware encryption and hardware RAID with hot-swappable disks. Each HDD within spins at 7200RPM and boasts 32MB of cache, and 700MB/sec are promised when using a RAID 50 array with four 4big Quadra Enterprise Class units. The whole slate of Neil Poulton-designed drives offer up quad interfaces (FireWire 400 / 800, USB 2.0 and eSATA), and prices get going at just $299.LaCie serves up Enterprise Class versions of Quadra external drives (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/lacie-serves-up-enterprise-class-versions-of-quadra-external-dri/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 28 Jan 2010 08:17:00 EST.
