LaCie STNC256000400 8big Pro5 256TB 8-Bay Thunderbolt 5 RAID Array

Post houses, VFX facilities and high-volume content teams that need a quarter-petabyte on the desk can start with the LaCie 8big Pro5 STNC256000400. This top-capacity configuration ships with eight 32TB SATA hard drives installed for 256TB of raw storage in an eight-bay desktop chassis, connected to the host over a single Thunderbolt 5 cable.

Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth up to 120Gbps lets the array sustain up to 2,800 MB/s in RAID 0 and up to 2,500 MB/s in RAID 5, so editors and colorists can work directly from the array on 8K and high-bitrate footage. Hardware RAID supports levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD, letting a studio choose its own balance of speed and redundancy, and the host port supplies up to 140W to power a connected laptop.

Two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports and a 20Gbps USB-C port allow displays and peripherals to be daisy-chained from the array. It works with macOS and Windows and is covered by a five-year limited warranty with Rescue Data Recovery Services.
