description

The LaCie Big Disk Network offers professional, reliable, central storage for instantly storing, sharing, and backing up from any computer on your network. Manage your home or small office network easily with this full-featured file server, recommended for networks with up to 50 users. Get extra security and increase data portability by backing up your LaCie Big Disk Network - on your own schedule - to an external hard drive through its USB port using the built-in backup system. The LaCie Big Disk Network comes also with Genie Backup Manager Pro for Windows and Intego Backup Manager Pro for Mac to install on each PC/Mac for client backups to the NAS. With the LaCie Big Disk Network, it's easy to download big files using its integrated torrent server, without even needing your computer to be turned on. You can also play your media files stored in your Big Disk Network directly on any UPnP AV-compatible device or via a Digital Media Adapter (DMA). In fact, the Big Disk Network has been developed to be compatible with any DLNA multimedia device, and also works with iTunes. Controlling access is simple; you can assign various security levels to shares, groups, user profiles, and public access. With Windows ADS domain support, there's no need to recreate existing user and group accounts of your Windows domain, making it easy to manage for IT Administrators. Thanks to the wake-on-LAN feature, the LaCie Big Disk Network can be switched back to operating mode from the client side.

Good idea, but wait for updates.
Reviewed by Chris Holland. Review Posted 10/11/2009

The product looks great, the packaging good, documentation rather limited (referring you to on-line) and is quiet running. However the problems arise when you try to use this machine for NAS.

I was really looking forward to using this device on our network, the active directory option seemed the perfect solution to our needs.
Yet after several problems getting the machine to join the domain we were told by Lacie support:

"...it seems to be a similar issue we have noticed before with our other AD capable ethernet devices (2Big and 5Big) where it acts that it has joined your active directory but isn't able for some reason to pull in your domain users.
However the issue is that at this point short of another update specific for your BD...it may be that an issue with the device not fully integrating.

Checking our support page there is not yet an ETA for any further updates."

Not exactly confidence inspiring.

Verdict: Good idea but wait for an updated version.
