About this product
The LaCie 5big 5-Bay Thunderbolt 2 RAID is an external drive enclosure featuring five bays. Designed to create a RAID setup, it connects via a Thunderbolt 2 interface. This silver unit is sold without any drives included, allowing users to select and install their preferred hard drives. It functions as an external drive enclosure, ready for user customization.
Our take
The LaCie 5big 5-Bay Thunderbolt 2 RAID offers a solid foundation for a custom storage solution. As an enclosure without drives, it gives you the freedom to choose your preferred HDDs for a total capacity and performance profile that suits your needs. The Thunderbolt 2 interface is a good fit for older professional setups, ensuring decent transfer speeds. However, do remember that you're paying for just the enclosure, so the final cost will be significantly higher once you add five hard drives. This is best for those who want control over their drive choices and RAID configuration.
