Lacie has announced a new external hard drive called the 2Big RAID, and comes with the support of the super high-speed USB 3.0. Of course, to use this USB 3.0 external storage, you must ensure your computer’s mainboard comes with the USB 3.0 ports or you already have a USB 3.0 card to do that for you.
The Lacie USB 3.0 2Big RAID drive offers throughput speeds of 275MB/s. The Lacie drive uses Symwave’s USB 3.0 standard-compliant dual SATA and RAID bridge controller and a dual-disk RAID 0 or 1 to achieve the mentioned speeds. The super high speeds should allow you to stream and edit multiple HD contents simultaneously.
No availability and pricing information have been announced but guess is it wouldn’t come cheap since it’s one of the few that has clung the USB 3.0 standard.
