When comparing the performance of the 5big NAS Pro to others in its class, the LaCie offering holds its own (so far). The 5big posted some pretty good benchmarks and even topped the charts in some categories. Stay tuned for a comparison of the 5big NAS configured for RAID 5.
Remember, a NAS has one primary purpose (the rest are secondary)… to serve up files, and the LaCie 5big NAS Pro does this very well. Putting it all together, LaCie delivers a simple and well designed NAS that can handle your business storage needs easily. The ability to deploy the NAS quickly makes it a simple choice for small buisness. A LaCie 5big NAS Pro (10 TB | 5 x 2TB drives) can be purchased for just $40.oo USD more than a diskless QNAP TS-569 Pro, making it a no brainer.
