Reviewers Liked

  • Large capacity, Good software features
  • The LaCie 5big Network 2 offers lots of storage space and ease of use in a bold, practical and impressive design. The NAS server also offers decent performance and useful features, such as Auto RAID and support for Lion's Time Machine
  • Lots of storage for the money, Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for load balancing or failover, Supports Apple Time Machine backup, "Eco" modes to conserve energy

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Slow performance
  • The LaCie 5big Network 2 performance could be comparatively better. Replacing its hard drive will void the warranty
  • Performance lags far behind other current five bay NASes, Relatively poor logging, No RAID migration or expansion
