Winners

Press Release:

LaCie announced today that the innovative 2big Triple hard drive has won a coveted trophy as the Best Storage Back-up Solution from the Technical Image Press Association. The annual TIPA Award is recognised as the most prestigious photo and imaging honour in Europe.

TIPA is made up of 30 independent publications from 13 European countries. The member publications have no relationship with any manufacturer, which allows neutrality to present awards to the year's best products. Eligibility is open to any company that manufactures photo, video, and digital products. Submitted products are judged on ease of use, features, and price. TIPA only looks for products that are the very best in their respected areas to win this annual award.

"Since its release, the 2big Triple has won a number of design awards from international competitions such as Red Dot and iF. This is the first honour the 2big has received based on quality, performance and value," said Eric Vermelle, LaCie Marketing Director. "LaCie knew that the performance and appearance of the 2big Triple made it special. There are no competing products like it that offer a corrugated enclosure for heat dissipation and three separate versions, each with their own unique RAID settings."

The LaCie 2big Triple is a performance enhanced storage device with separate FireWire 800, FireWire 400, or USB 2.0 interfaces for high-speed data transfer. Available in capacities from 1 to 2 terabytes, the 2big Triple is a complete RAID solution that can be individually configured for performance (RAID 0) and safety (RAID 1). When set for RAID 1, the unit is hot-swappable and upon insertion of a new drive, will automatically rebuild data for non-stop data access. The LaCie 2big triple also features an attractive natural cooling, heat sink metal design with a thermoregulated progressive smart fan to ensure long-lasting reliability and quiet operation.

Availability

The LaCie 2big Triple is available worldwide via LaCie's specialised dealer network with a starting suggested retail price of £239 for 1TB. For more product information, visit www.lacie.com/uk
