Offering the fastest throughput, it’s optimized for digital editing applications and supports multiple streams of uncompressed SD video and audio editing. This true plug and play device has a built-in RAID 0 configuration that allows for instant high-speed data transfers of up to 85MB/s and immediate large-scale backup. It’s hot-pluggable for file sharing among FireWire 800/400 and iLink/DV computers. No drivers or software installation is required for Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Mac OS X, so set-up is quick and easy. The LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme can be daisy-chained, which is ideal for mirroring (RAID 1) two Bigger Disks for greater data redundancy and security. You can even stripe (RAID 0) for faster speeds."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/hd_biggerdisk.jpg" /><br /><br />Don't get too excited as this will set you back $2,299 (and they say you can chain two of them together to set up a RAID 8O ). Still I can't think of an easier way to add 2TB to your workstation.

And can you set up a RAID 5 array? ;) :lol:

Cost of 1GB > US$1? (And I'm being lenient there). Er, no thanks. :turn-l:

Of course I totally agree with you, it is WAY too expensive.
