LaCie today introduced the Biggest S1S, a mid-range 4-bay RAID solution with SATA speeds of 80MB/s at RAID 0. The new bay offers 1TB or 2TB capacity, RAID 5 hardware combined with SATA technology, driverless installation, four hot-swappable drives and hot-spare options, and more. “A RAID subsystem is the easiest way to back up data securely,” Emanuela Boila, LaCie Product Manager, said in the announcement. “LaCie makes it easy for those who haven’t used RAID before. Our new Biggest S1S has simple controls that let you decide how secure you want your backup to be, and the new SATA interface ensures that backups are done quickly.” Pricing for the Biggest S1S is priced at US$1699 (1TB) and $3199 (2TB). Both models are available for pre-order today and will be available later this month.
