Think Big—We’ve Got You Covered.

With up to 96TB of capacity on your desktop, up to 1400MB/s speeds, and RAID 5/6, the LaCie 6big Thunderbolt 3 lets you rein in the stampede of data from 4K cameras.

The very fastest I/O

LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance potential of the Thunderbolt 3 I/O and squeezed out speeds of up to 1400MB/s—and 1200MB/s in RAID 5—to help slash time off nearly every task in your post-production workflow. Capture RAW footage from a RED cinema camera or a shuttle drive (such as the LaCie Rugged RAID), edit multiple streams of ProRes 422 (HQ) or ProRes 4444 XQ, and fly through thumbnail and preview rendering on your biggest projects.

For your smartest workspace.

With double the video bandwidth of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 lets you daisy chain dual 4K displays or a single 5K display to the LaCie 6big. It’s even possible to power a compatible laptop through the Thunderbolt 3 connection.1

Bigger in every way. Except in footprint.

Get up to 96TB (80TB in RAID 5) on your desktop—in the same footprint as an iPad Air . Invest up front in a future-proof, RAID-protected solution to improve data access and security, which can help you save money in the long term.

The absolute fastest I/O.

For the 6big and 12big, LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance potential of the Thunderbolt 3 I/O and squeezed the absolute best speeds out of the hard drives. We added a hardware RAID controller and 7200RPM drives, and the result is astonishing 12big speeds of up to 2600MB/s—and 2400MB/s in RAID 5.

For lightning-fast video workflows.

That kind of speed can slash time off nearly every task in your post-production workflow. Ingest hours of RAW footage from a Blackmagic cinema camera into Adobe Premiere Pro in a fraction of the time. Then edit multiple streams of ProRes 422 (HQ), ProRes 4444 XQ, as well as uncompressed HD 10-bit and 12-bit video. For big projects packed with high-def clips, thumbnail and preview rendering becomes much more responsive.

And for your smartest workspace.

With double the video bandwidth of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 lets you daisy chain dual 4K displays or a single 5K display to the LaCie 12big or 6big. With two 4K displays, you can spread out your workspace by dedicating one display to your timeline and the other to previewing 4K footage, for example. It's even possible to power a compatible laptop through the Thunderbolt 3 connection***.

Compatible with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2

Macs with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 ports can experience high-end transfer rates with LaCie Thunderbolt 3 professional solutions. Apple’s Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter (sold separately) provides easy connection between LaCie Thunderbolt 3 solutions and Macs with earlier generations of Thunderbolt technology*.
