Simple and Efcient
The easy-to-use LaCie Hard Disk MAX Quadra, Design by Neil
Poulton offers an enormous amount of storage capacity in a
quadruple interface solution for connecting to any PC or Mac®.
This simple and efficient drive contains two internal hard disks
for maximizing capacity in a relatively compact space. Setup
is nearly effortless; it’s plug & play and offers customizable
formatting with LaCie Setup Assistant. LaCie Backup Assistant
software is also included for PC and Mac users for easy,
automatic backups.
Discreet Design and Function
The LaCie Hard Disk MAX Quadra, Design by Neil Poulton adds
sophisticated style to your desktop yet its presence is quiet and
unobtrusive so it blends into any work environment. This sleek,
subtle hard disk has an all-black mirror-polished finish and
a unique distinguishing feature—a cool, blue LED strip on its
underside that creates an ambient glow. It even turns red to warn
you if a problem arises.
Optimize With RAID
This advanced hard disk comes with two RAID options so, you
can choose the configuration that best matches your needs. Easily
select your desired RAID level with the manual switch on the back.
Choose RAID 0 (FAST) for high speed and capacity or RAID 1
(SAFE) for the highest security. RAID 0 is known as a striped set
because it stripes data evenly across the two disks for optimum
performance. RAID 1 is known as mirroring because it creates an
exact mirror or copy of a set of data onto two disks, so it’s best
used when data security is more important than speed or capacity.
Multiple Uses
With eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and USB 2.0, the user-
friendly LaCie Hard Disk MAX Quadra, Design by Neil Poulton
makes a great companion to any PC or Mac computer. Use it as
a reliable data-shuttle between desktop and laptop computers
or to regularly back up your entire system or upgrade capacity
when your computer’s hard drive is full. Thanks to the USB
expansion port on the front, it can even be connected to another
USB device such as another external hard drive for backups.
