Hot-Swappable Recovery
The LaCie Biggest FW800 allows for online hot swapping
should a drive fail, with automatic data rebuilding to a
new drive without downtime. With the added option of
designating one of the drives a hot spare, the Biggest
FW800 will automatically replace a faulty one. For
additional protection, it will automatically react to a
drive, fan or power failure and even shut down above a
temperature of 55° C to preserve itself and your data.
