LaCie 8big Pro5 192TB 8-Bay Thunderbolt 5 RAID Array (8 x 24TB)

The LaCie 8big Pro5 192TB is a professional-grade, eight-bay desktop RAID array engineered for the most demanding creative pipelines, including multi-stream 8K video editing, high-resolution photography, VFX, and large-scale media archiving. Shipping pre-populated with eight 24TB enterprise-class hard drives for a total of 192TB of raw capacity, this direct-attached storage (DAS) solution harnesses next-generation Thunderbolt 5 connectivity to deliver data transfer speeds up to 120 Gb/s, achieving real-world throughput of up to 2,800 MB/s in RAID 0 and up to 2,500 MB/s in RAID 5. Built by Seagate and LaCie, it pairs massive capacity with the sustained bandwidth and reliability that post-production studios and content creators require.

Flexibility is central to the 8big Pro5. Hardware RAID modes 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus JBOD and multi-RAID configurations let you balance raw speed, redundancy, and capacity to match each project, while hot-swappable drives keep your workflow running during maintenance and expansion. A single Thunderbolt 5 host port carries data and up to 140W of power over one cable, and two additional Thunderbolt 5 ports enable daisy-chaining of storage and displays. A 20 Gb/s USB-C port adds broad cross-platform compatibility, and backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 4 and earlier ensures the array fits seamlessly into existing Mac and PC setups.

Designed for serious production environments, the 8big Pro5 includes Seagate Toolkit backup software and LaCie RAID Manager for streamlined setup and monitoring, plus a two-month Adobe Creative Cloud Pro membership. Every unit is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and 5-year Rescue Data Recovery Services for added peace of mind, making it a dependable centerpiece for studios that cannot afford downtime or data loss.
