    So....?

    What's so new about this? QNAP for example has had this for almost a year, and at this moment already offers a 6-bay and 8-bay model supporting 12 and 16 TB respectively.

    I thought the article would have read that LACIE *finally* introduces 10TB model....

    And I don't think that you'll get any RAID protection if you want 10TB, since that is just 5x2TB in JBOD configuration (linear volume).

    First of it's class?

    "Its bigger relation is the 5-bay 5big Network, a desktop or floor box, offering up to 10TB of file storage with hot-swap drives. LaCie says this is a first for products of this class"

    Unless they are referring to 5Bay NASs, which would be churlish, then I think Netgear would like to have a word with them - the readyNAS Pro is a six drive device that supports RAID0/1/5/10 and I think 6, and also has their own Raid system that allows hot swapping and hot expansion, iSCSI and SMB/NFS etc...

    Works pretty well, inciedentally.

    Well they would say that..

    offering up to 10TB of file storage with hot-swap drives. LaCie says this is a first for products of this class.

    So that means that the QNAP 509 is in a different class?? I wouldn't have thought so...
