You are bidding on a used LaCie 5big NAS Pro - 0 TB (diskless). This NAS enclosure doesn't ship with hard-drives, so you will have to add your own hard-drives before you can install NAS OS 4. This device is fully operational and it was tested prior to listing, cosmetically it is flawless. I preloaded the NAS OS 4 installation files onto the included recovery key and will email installation instructions to the winning bidder to help simplify installation. It's important that you connect this NAS enclosure to a router that has been configured as a DHCP server so that it can assign an IP address to the NAS device. You cannot connect it directly to a PC, unless the PC also functions as a DHCP server. All you will need to use this NAS enclosure are hard-drives and a DHCP enabled router, everything else is included.

The Diskless 5big NAS Pro Hybrid Cloud RAID from LaCie is a 5-bay hybrid cloud hard drive array that connects to your network via two Intel gigabit Ethernet ports and dual link IEEE 802.3ad aggregation. The unit comes equipped with a dual-core 2.13GHz Intel 64-bit Atom processor with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and runs on LaCie's proprietary NAS OS 4.x operating system.
File access is made simple with local/hybrid storage. You can take advantage of Wuala Secure Cloud Storage to manage cloud, remote, and local storage from a single interface. This can be accessed through a standard web browser or via the iOS or Android app. You can also integrate the Wuala file system as a network drive (W:/network drive). This unit is compatible with PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Hybrid Cloud Technology
With the LaCie 5big NAS running NAS OS 4, you get a true hybrid cloud: integrated network-attached and secure cloud storage.
Complete Compatibility
Wuala is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and iOS and Android devices. Just install the Wuala app on your smartphone or tablet to gain access to any file stored on your LaCie 5big.
Faster Internal File Sharing
Boost your business productivity with up to 200MB/s transfer speeds. The LaCie 5big is powered by a dual-core 2.13GHz Intel 64-bit Atom processor and 4GB RAM. It also features dual LAN and link aggregation for optimized network speeds. This combination optimizes file transfers between users, and ensures full performance even with simultaneous transfers.
Work Smarter, Work Together
Automatically sync files between cloud and one or many of your company's computers, ensuring everyone's looking at the most current versions. With Wuala, business users have access to a shared pool of storage.
External File Sharing
Instead of using FTP or email to share files with external clients, simply provide the folder's secret link on Wuala. Files can be downloaded directly through any browser without needing to install the Wuala client or be granted access to a company network. No file size restrictions allows for sharing of large files.
Enhanced Security Standards
The LaCie 5big offers standard RAID modes, and also ships with SimplyRAID, which helps simplify RAID management. Either manually select a RAID mode such as 5, 1, or 0, or activate SimplyRAID.
RAID for Improved Hardware Security
Take advantage of a compromise between speed and disk-failure proof, hardware-level data protection. If a disk fails, you can replace it without turning off your appliance. Just swap in a new disk without losing a single byte of data.
Cloud Security
Files stored on the cloud are encrypted even before they leave your computer.
Everything You Need, In the Box
The LaCie 5big comes with everything needed to backup your computers. It includes three client licenses for Genie Backup Manager Pro for Windows and three licenses for Intego Backup Manager Pro for Mac. Install the included software on computers to be backed up, or use Time Machine or Windows Backup.
Offsite Backup Capable
Add offsite backup to your data protection strategy. Wuala lets you create backup jobs that back up a computer's folder onto the cloud. When files are accidentally deleted you can restore those lost files in seconds.
Automated NAS Backup
The LaCie 5big allows you to replicate your LaCie 5big's storage onto an attached USB 3.0/2.0 hard drive, or vice-versa. Create automatic backup jobs tailored to each of your attached devices. Use this NAS to back up another NAS, whether it's on the local network or remote.
Rescue Utility
The 5big includes a browser-based tool that gives administrators a DVD-free way to reinstall or repair the NAS OS, and to recover from system failure. Using the included USB key, the browser-based LaCie Rescue allows you to install the OS on a diskless chassis. As a result, it's easy to replace all your NAS' disks at the same time. In case of system failure, LaCie Rescue launches automatically to help you recover files from a damaged system via FTP, repair the OS, or completely restore the NAS to factory settings.
Enhanced Network Management
The LaCie 5big offers advanced network management. iSCSI makes it possible to create a share on your LaCie 5big to mount on a computer in the same way that external hard drives are mounted when connecting to your PC/Mac. The LaCie 5big even lets you specify which services are active on which of the Ethernet interfaces.
Dual Cooling
The LaCie 5big's solid aluminum casing diverts and dissipates heat effectively and its whisper-quiet, thermo-regulated Noctua fan automatically adapts its spinning speed to the internal temperature.
