For the Bolt3, LaCie harnessed the breakthrough performance
potential of Thunderbolt 3 and paired it with two M.2 PCIe SSDs
striped into a 2TB volume. Bolt3 delivers record speeds of up to
2800MB/s and cuts valuable time off of post-production workflows,
such as ingesting RAW footage from RED® or Blackmagic® cinema
cameras or transcoding 4/5/6K footage using Adobe® Premiere® Pro or
DaVinci Resolve. What’s more, videographers can transfer a terabyte
of 4K ProRes 4444 XQ footage from the LaCie Bolt3 to RAID
storage—such as the LaCie 12big Thunderbolt 3—in only 5 minutes and
11 seconds*.
The LaCie Bolt3 is engineered for long term reliability—from the
enclosure to the internal components—to endure intensive storage
tasks. Each product is individually Computer Numerical Control
machined from solid aluminum blocks for rigid durability and heat
dissipation. Effective cooling helps to ensure long-term component
health. The stand securely docks the product with powerful
neodymium magnets—and detaches for easy transport.
With up to 120TB of massive capacity, the breakthrough
performance of Thunderbolt 3 and RAID 5/6, the LaCie 12big, first
shown at the 2016 National Association of Broadcasters Show, and
the new LaCie 6big help video professionals meet the data demands
of 4/5/6K cameras. Both feature Seagate enterprise-class drives
with 256MB cache and 7200RPM for superb accessibility, reliability
and robust performance.
“From ultra high-resolution cameras to virtual reality to
drones, the new experiences that content creators can bring to life
are truly exciting,” said Tim Bucher, Senior Vice President of
Seagate and LaCie Branded Solutions. “Creating these experiences
generates unprecedented amounts of data while requiring extreme
performance, and today we’re thrilled to help our customers by
offering best-in-class storage solutions that excel in even the
most demanding video workflows.”
Thunderbolt 3 speeds of up to 2600MB/s for LaCie 12big and
1400MB/s for LaCie 6big slash time off nearly every post-production
workflow task. Users can then edit multiple streams of ProRes 422
(HQ), ProRes 4444 XQ, as well as uncompressed HD 10-bit and 12-bit
video. What’s more, photographers can transfer RAW photos quickly
and edit in Adobe Lightroom without lag. Plus, with up to 120TB of
capacity, the LaCie 12big can store 100 hours of 4K ProRes 4444 XQ
footage in RAID 5*.
With double the video bandwidth of its predecessor, Thunderbolt
3 lets a user daisy chain dual 4K displays or a single 5K display
to the LaCie 12big or LaCie 6big. With two 4K displays, users can
spread out their workspace by dedicating one display to the
timeline and the other to previewing 4K footage, for example. It’s
even possible to power a compatible laptop through the USB-C
cable**. Additionally, the user can connect to USB 3.0 computers
via the included USB-C to USB-A cable.
The LaCie 12big and LaCie 6big are engineered to handle
demanding video workflows. Front-accessible drives offer convenient
and quick drive replacement and front-facing drive status LEDs help
the user keep track of drive health and RAID build status. The
aluminum enclosure dissipates heat far better than plastic, while
two thermoregulated fans pull heat away from internal components.
Both the LaCie 12big and LaCie 6big are protected by a five-year
limited warranty that covers drives, enclosure and spare parts.
LaCie has also partnered with Pelican Products to offer custom
cases to safely transport the LaCie 12big or 6big to and from set.
The Pelican™ Storm Case™ is an injection-molded case made of HPX®
high-performance resin that is virtually unbreakable and resistant
to dents and shatter. The custom, durable foam configuration houses
a LaCie 12big or 6big, multiple LaCie Rugged® drives and
accessories such as cords or a power supply. The cases are
lightweight, airtight, watertight and backed by Pelican’s lifetime
warranty***.
AVAILABILITY
The LaCie Bolt3 will come in a 2TB SSD capacity for $1999.00.
The LaCie 6big will come in 24TB, 36TB, 48TB and 60TB capacities
starting at $3199.00. The LaCie 12big will come in 48TB, 72TB, 96TB
