Anyone got the new Lacie 5Big TB2 array? Any thoughts? Is it better than the Pegasus?
 
Performance with the 6TB drives seems to be pretty good. Small, compact, and quiet.

Looks a bit better than the R6, but that's a personal preference.

Both are HW RAID. Both are Thunderbolt2.

There are a few reviews out there with benchmarks with the LaCie a bit faster with it's 6TB drives.

I like my 5big for the smaller footprint and quieter chassis.

Pegasus was first out the chute but I think LaCie did a bit better in the looks department.

I evaluated the Pegasus a while back but kept the LaCie.

Many thanks. The Lacie 5big it is then....
