Description
The LaCie 8big Pro5 is a professional 8-bay Thunderbolt 5 RAID storage array engineered for the most demanding creative and post-production workflows. This STNC128000400 model ships pre-populated with 128TB of capacity across eight enterprise-class 16TB hard drives, delivering the headroom that 8K video, RAW photography, VFX, and large-scale media archives demand. Connected over a single Thunderbolt 5 cable, it sustains transfer speeds of up to 2,800 MB/s in RAID 0 and up to 2,500 MB/s in RAID 5, letting editors and colorists work directly off the array without proxies.
Built around Thunderbolt 5 with bandwidth up to 120Gbps, the 8big Pro5 combines extreme throughput with flexible hardware RAID protection. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and JBOD configurations, so studios can balance raw speed against redundancy for mission-critical footage. The host Thunderbolt 5 port delivers up to 140W of power to charge and run a connected laptop, while two additional Thunderbolt 5 ports (30W each) enable daisy-chaining displays and peripherals, and a 20Gbps USB-C port adds further expansion. It remains backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, and USB4 across both Mac and Windows.
Designed for reliability over the long haul, the LaCie 8big Pro5 is managed through LaCie RAID Manager and supports both APFS and NTFS formatting. Every unit is backed by an end-to-end 5-year limited warranty covering both the enclosure and the installed drives, plus complimentary Rescue Data Recovery Services for added peace of mind. A bundled 2-month Adobe Creative Cloud Pro membership and Seagate Toolkit software round out a turnkey solution for professional studios, production houses, and high-volume content creators.
