Besides the default HDDs (Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001), we checked it out with Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS drives. We tested the performance of our LaCie 2big NAS with Intel NASPT.

When the NAS is turned on for the first time, you are asked to set up its network name, admin password and internal clock. By the way, the NAS has a password recovery system similar to many websites: the user receives an email with a link to apply a new password. Besides the administrator, ordinary users can access the interface, too, but only to change their password. The 2big NAS lacks a full-featured help system but has popup hints for most options and links to the manufacturer’s website for some features.

There are a lot of links to the manufacturer’s online resources, including tech support and product registration pages. Except for the main page with settings, you can have multiple info widgets in the interface window, for example widgets with network settings, disk array status or external drive information. It has a fixed-size design which is modern and engaging. The interface supports HTTPS and is available in several languages. The included LaCie Network Assistant tool can help you find the NAS on your network, mount network disks, change the network address, and evoke the NAS’s web-interface for more configuring. This indication system isn’t very handy because you have to check out indicators located on opposite panels of the case.

The user manual contains a table that describes the meaning of each indicator combination such as a disk failure or overheat. You can turn it off in the NAS’s settings but it will blink or shine red in case of problems irrespective of that setting. As for the front panel, there is only one large blue LED on it. The network and disk indicators are at the back and won’t distract you with their blinking.

You can remove the stand if you don’t need it. The Ethernet connector should have also been placed next to the power one because they are both going to be used in every usage scenario. The latter is conveniently placed at the bottom of the back panel. There’s a large indicator button on the front panel that can switch the NAS into sleep mode and wake it up.Īt the back of the case we can see a small vent grid, HDD bays with locks, a power switch (it can be used to turn the NAS off safely), a Gigabit Ethernet port, USB 2.0 and eSATA connectors for external devices, and a power connector. The case is rather small for a dual-disk NAS at 9 x 20 x 18.5 centimeters (with the stand). The case is made of aluminum and has a characteristic radiator surface with lengthwise fins that ensure improved cooling. Developed by Neil Poulton, the designer of most of LaCie storage products, the exterior of the 2big NAS differs from typical NASes with its original and easily recognizable style.
