Sure, Apple sells a lot of Macs with Thunderbolt ports onboard, but these drives would be much more useful with an assortment of connectors. LaCie doesn’t sell a 2TB version of its Little Big Disk Quadra, but its 1TB Quadra costs $100 less than the 1TB Thunderbolt version and the Quadra comes with all of the cables you’ll need.Īs with the other Thunderbolt drive we’ve tested (the Pegasus R6), the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series of drives has only one connection type, a pair of Thunderbolt ports.

That’s nearly double what a 2TB, portable drive with a quad-interface might cost.
The drives can be configured as mirrored or striped arrays by using OS X’s Disk Utility.Īctually using the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series requires the purchase of an Apple Thunderbolt cable ($50), bringing the total cost of the 2TB version to $550. Like the other products in LaCie’s Little Big Disk line, the Thunderbolt Series drives are aluminum, portable external two-drive RAIDs. There’s the Apple Thunderbolt Display ( ), the Promise Pegasus R4 and R6 RAID arrays, and now the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series from LaCie.
If you’re the owner of a new MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, or iMac, and you’re looking for something to plug into the fancy new Thunderbolt port, your options are pretty limited.
