This 32TB configuration (STNC32000400) ships pre-populated with eight 4TB enterprise-class hard drives and arrives preconfigured as a single RAID 5 array, so editors can connect and start working immediately while still benefiting from drive-failure protection. Engineered by Seagate and LaCie, the aluminum desktop enclosure pairs a refined, studio-ready industrial design with the data integrity and serviceability demanded by busy post-production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the 8big Pro5 is next-generation Thunderbolt 5 connectivity delivering up to 120 Gb\/s of bandwidth, enabling sustained read speeds up to 2800 MB\/s in RAID 0 and up to 2500 MB\/s in RAID 5 to keep high-bitrate timelines playing back smoothly. A single Thunderbolt 5 host port supplies up to 140W of power delivery to charge and drive a connected laptop, while two additional Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports and a 20 Gb\/s USB-C port let you daisy-chain monitors, additional storage, and peripherals from one cable. The array is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, and USB4 hosts on both Mac and Windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlexibility and protection are built in. Eight hot-swappable drive drawers support hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD, and multi-RAID configurations, all managed through LaCie RAID Manager for setup and drive-health monitoring, with Seagate Toolkit available for backup tasks. Every unit is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and 5-year Rescue Data Recovery Services, giving studios and IT-managed creative teams enterprise-grade peace of mind for their most valuable project data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips pre-populated with 8 x 4TB enterprise-class hard drives (32TB raw), preconfigured as RAID 5 for ready-to-use, fault-tolerant storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbolt 5 interface with up to 120 Gb\/s bandwidth for demanding 8K and multi-stream video workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast performance: up to 2800 MB\/s read in RAID 0 and up to 2500 MB\/s read in RAID 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Thunderbolt 5 ports (1 host + 2 downstream) plus a 20 Gb\/s USB-C port for daisy-chaining displays, storage, and peripherals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 140W power delivery over the Thunderbolt 5 host port to power and charge a connected laptop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware RAID 0\/1\/5\/6\/10\/50\/60, JBOD, and multi-RAID, managed via LaCie RAID Manager\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight hot-swappable drive drawers for easy servicing and drive replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackward compatible with Thunderbolt 4\/3 and USB4 on both Mac and Windows; 5-year warranty plus 5-year Rescue Data Recovery Services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32TB (8 x 4TB enterprise-class HDD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreconfigured RAID:\u003c\/strong\u003e RAID 5 (single array)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupported RAID Levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, JBOD, multi-RAID\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thunderbolt 5 (up to 120 Gb\/s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3x Thunderbolt 5 (1 host, 2 downstream) + 1x USB 20Gbps (USB-C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRead Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 2800 MB\/s (RAID 0); up to 2500 MB\/s (RAID 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 140W (host port); 30W downstream; 15W USB-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Bays:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 hot-swappable drive drawers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mac and Windows; backward compatible with Thunderbolt 4\/3 and USB4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoftware:\u003c\/strong\u003e LaCie RAID Manager; Seagate Toolkit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100-240 VAC, 50\/60 Hz, up to 450W total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-year limited warranty + 5-year Rescue Data Recovery Services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaCie 8big Pro5 RAID array (8 x 4TB drives installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbolt 5 cable (1 m \/ 3.3 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-month Adobe Creative Cloud Pro membership (where available)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LaCie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46369412382917,"sku":"LAC-STNC32000400","price":6816.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/1-1-large-640x640.png?v=1781629058","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/lacie-8big-pro5-32tb-8-bay-thunderbolt-5-raid-array-8x4tb","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
