In-the-field professional video editing and improved photo library browsing performance and camera downloads on your MacBook Pro.

The LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series heralds a new era for storage performance. Featuring a preconfigured RAID0 striped set with 7200rpm hard drives through the 10 Gbit/s Thunderbolt interface, it delivers astonishing transfer rates of up to 190 MB/s. Now you can truly get the power of rackmount storage—in a portable solution.

You can even daisy chain multiple Little Big Disks together to increase overall transfer rates. Daisy chain four Little Big Disks with hard drives and reach transfer rates of around 800 MB/s.

With the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series you can acquire, edit, and play back multiple uncompressed A/V streams directly from the drive with ultimate ease and portability, no matter the size or resolution of the content.

Featherweight powerhouse

Weighing just 1.4 pounds/0.64 kilograms, the drive is a portable powerhouse. It fits in the palm of your hand, features its own cooling system, and can either be connected to a display or a MacBook Pro. While presenting their work to a client, photographers can browse smoothly through photos in their digital libraries while experiencing zero lag time. Away from the studio, videographers can dramatically reduce the time to publish a project.

Aluminum reliability and security

Enclosed in LaCie's classic d2 casing designed by Neil Poulton, the drive's resilient aluminum armor protects your data inside whether it's in the field or in transit. The unique heat sink design provides 60% more surface area, which draws heat away from the internal components, keeping it cool and safe at all times. A front power button allows you to turn off the Little Big Disk without breaking a daisy chain, always with energy conservation in mind.

Highlights

  • 10 Gbit/s Thunderbolt interface
  • Two 500GB (1TB capacity) SATA hard drives
  • Preconfigured RAID0 strip set (RAID 1 and JBOD capable)
  • Dual Thunderbolt ports for daisy chaining up to six compatible storage devices together
  • Mini DisplayPort backward compatible for daisy chaining with other digital devices such as monitors and compatible cameras
  • Solid aluminum enclosure
  • Compact size for easy portability

    Little Monster

    • Written by from Olympic Valley

    The first thing you will notice about the Little Big Disk is the price. Pretty bad!
    "buyer remorse" Also don't forget the Apple ThunderBolt cable for a cool $50. After I shook that off, I am really stoked on the Little Big Disk, It's Really fast, so far so good.
    I was blown away at how small it is as well. Its nice to be able to use ThunderBolt FINALLY.

    Like a hot rod

    • Written by from Leawood

    Amazing design, enclosure, packaging. The speed truly is amazing and something I could get used to in a hurry. A major qualm, however, is how noisy the device is. I understand the heat produced by such tech must be immense, but I don't know if I can live with it. My WD and Seagate regular USB 2.0 are barely audible with the exception of a few "clicks," while this sounds like an old PC's fan, ready for takeoff. This aside, I cannot report on any chronic issues as I just picked this up. More

    Goes together with my Macbook pro like peas and carrots

    • Written by from Austin

    This thing is FAST. As has already been noted in another review, it is loud, but I rather it have fans than it overheat. I used it to edit a project in FCPX with Red footage and it didn't skip a beat. It's really the only sub $1000 option out there right now, so just buy it! More

    Working well

    • Written by

    I've spent some time looking for different Thunderbolt drive options, and ended up buying this 1 TB drive. I've been using it for three months now, and so far it has performed admirably. Not one glitch, not much noise either. As many other reviewers here have said, I was impressed with the speeds. I also like the compact size, and the overall ease of use. More

    Read the fine print

    • Written by from Vancouver

    From HT4649: (apple support kb)
    "During installation, OS X Lion may display the message: 'Some features of Mac OS X Lion are not supported for the disk ..."
    "Usually, this message appears in one of two scenarios:
    ▪ The disk you are installing Lion on is a RAID volume ..."
    "You won't be able to use FileVault disk encryption to secure your data. You won't have the on-disk utilities for disk repair and setting a firmware password. ..."
    "Recovery HD cannot be created on RAID volumes. ..." 
    I am using a LLBDT on a 2012 MacBook Air OS X 10.7.3. have been unable to use Disk Utility to partition my LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt when set up as a concatenated disk set (JBOD). Theoretically JBOD is not RAID but it seems Disk Utility thinks it is. I believe I can use the LLBDT as two independent 500Mb disks, but that's not what I had in mind.
