LaCie teams up with Symwave to introduce the industry’s first dual hard disk RAID storage solution powered by SuperSpeed USB (3.0) standard.
Lacie’s this 2Big USB 3.0 dual-disk RAID 0/1 storage solution claims to deliver the highest throughput ever achieved in a USB 3.0 external storage product. It is based on Symwave’s USB 3.0 standard-compliant dual SATA and RAID bridge controller.

This collaboration with LaCie, which coincides with our SW6318 USB 3.0 dual-SATA product announcement is yet another first in the industry and for Symwave,” said John O’Neill, Vice President of Marketing at Symwave. “The end user experience of external storage is undergoing a very significant upgrade with the launch of USB 3.0 products. We are pleased to be leading the market transition with such a strong partner like LaCie.”
The 2Big USB 3.0 will hold up to 4TB of storage capacity. It is also bundled with award-winning backup software for PC and Mac.
“Offering fast speeds is a major priority for LaCie. Our customers have long awaited a robust, super fast interface to enable a better workflow. Symwave’s industry-leading dual SATA bridge controller enabled us to address this demand, and to achieve the highest speed ever obtained with a dual-disk solution,” said Minh Lê, Marketing Director at LaCie. “LaCie intends to lead the market transition to USB 3.0 technology and will launch a full range of products in the coming months.”
