“The Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 [US$1299] is the latest in desktop storage from LaCie,” Albert Filice writes for Macworld. “Inside the sleek black enclosure are two ‘blade’ style PCIe SSDs that LaCie configures in a software RAID 0 to maximize the drive’s speed and storage capacity. Past Little Big Disk models featured 2.5-inch laptop drives, but these newer SSD modules connected to the PCIe bus allows speeds faster than SATA III.”
“The Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 reads and writes like a real pro, and outpaces other desktop RAID solutions featuring up to six mechanical drives,” Filice writes. “The numbers speak for themselves; the Little Big Disk with Thunderbolt 2 easily outperformed what were previously our fastest drives.”
