LaCie is announcing an update of its NAS OS 3 to v3.1 that powers the LaCie 5big NAS Pro and 2big NAS storage solutions. Amongst other professional feature enhancements, the most significant improvements enhance hybrid cloud capabilities and deliver a 25% increase in RAID 5 write speeds. The RAID 5 write speeds have been increased to over 100MB/s on a single LAN to ensure that users can easily back up several computers at the same time or even edit 1080p video directly from their device. The hybrid cloud advancements enable users not only to have the ability to sync data between their computer and the cloud, but have the more advanced capability of syncing data between their computer and NAS device. This improved sync functionality provides employees even greater access to the most current version of critical files.
