LaCie 5big Backup Server

The 5big Backup Server is a centralized backup appliance, designed for small businesses. This model is a step-down from the 5big Storage Server, as it lacks dual Gigabit Ethernet connections and a dual-core processor.

Compared to LaCie’s 5big Network 2, this model supports Windows Home Server. The 5big Backup Server’s base model is available with 5TB of storage, however a more expensive 10 GB edition is also available. LaCie recommends this device for up to 10 PCs and 25 Macs. Apple’s Time Machine backup utility is fully supported, allowing each individual machine to be backed up to the server. This device is powered by a single-core 64-bit Intel Atom processor and 1GB of DDR2 memory for uninterrupted performance. Expansion options include a single eSATA port and 4 USB 2.0 ports.
