The LaCie 5big Network 2 offers lots of storage space and ease of use in a bold, practical and impressive design. The NAS server also offers decent performance and useful features, such as Auto RAID and support for Lion's Time Machine
The LaCie 5big Network 2 performance could be comparatively better. Replacing its hard drive will void the warranty
The LaCie 5big Network 2 is appealing mostly to home users, especially sci-fi movie fans or fashion designers. Advanced and savvy users might be turned off by its lack of features and comparatively low performance.
The LaCie 5big Network 2 is easily the best looking NAS we have reviewed. While it might have a bit of a HAL theme going on with the front, it is one of the slickest cases we have seen in a while. The metal chassis is extremely durable and overbuilt, ...
