On Tuesday, LaCie introduced a lineup of new hard drives with data protection in a new enterprise-class storage solutions format. When you add “enterprise” to any hard drive, the price usually doubles, but with this package, you get a complete solution from LaCie, a leader in the design and manufacture of hard drives.

Each enclosure contains enterprise-class SATA disks for the utmost reliability and performance, a 5-year warranty with a full 5-year product swap, which is great if any of the hard drives or the actual product fails in any way. In addition, 128-bit AES hardware encryption has been integrated, plus 24K gold-plated cable contact fro improved transfer speeds. The drives are built on a hardware RAID and are hot-swappable for non-stop data access.

Additional Specs and Information:

• 1.2 million MTBF (Mean TIme Before Failure).
• Optimized for RAID towers with vibration resistance technology.
• 700MB/s of transfer speeds through a RAID 50 array.
• A variety of capacities ranging from 1TB to 8TB from the LaCie Online Store, with a suggested retail price of $299 for the LaCie d2 Quadra Enterprise Class, $649 for the LaCie 2big Quadra Enterprise Class, and $1,349 for the LaCie 4big Quadra Enterprise Class.
