The LaCie 8big Pro5 (STNC192000400) is a desktop eight-bay hardware RAID storage enclosure delivering 192TB of enterprise-class capacity, designed for professional creative workflows including 8K video editing, large-scale project transfers, and studio environments requiring high throughput and reliable data protection. It is designed by Neil Poulton and positions itself as a high-performance, scalable storage solution for demanding creative professionals.
It includes LaCie RAID Manager software for configuration and ongoing drive health monitoring.
A further USB 20 Gbps port is also provided for additional device connectivity.
These speeds make real-time editing of RAW and 8K video footage a practical proposition directly from the enclosure. The combination of hardware RAID processing and Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth ensures that performance is not constrained by the host interface.
The enclosure implements hardware RAID, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, as well as JBOD and multi-RAID configurations, providing flexibility to balance performance and redundancy according to workflow requirements. Hot-swappable drive bays allow failed drives to be replaced without powering down the enclosure, minimising workflow interruption.
This SKU (STNC192000400) provides 192TB of storage across eight bays, utilising enterprise-class drives suited to the continuous operation demands of professional creative environments. The eight-bay architecture and hot-swap capability provide a practical path for capacity management and drive lifecycle replacement.
Via its Thunderbolt 5 connection, the 8big Pro5 delivers up to 140W of power to the connected host device, eliminating the need for a separate power supply for laptops and supporting even high-end workstations from a single cable. This simplifies cabling in studio environments and reduces desk clutter. The single-cable solution encompasses both data transfer at full Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth and power delivery simultaneously.
The enclosure includes LaCie RAID Manager, providing a software interface for initial RAID configuration and ongoing monitoring of drive health and array status. This utility is designed to streamline setup for professionals who require a fast and reliable configuration process without manual intervention at the hardware level. Drive health monitoring through LaCie RAID Manager supports proactive identification of potential drive issues before they impact workflow continuity.
The inclusion of a USB 20 Gbps port broadens compatibility with systems or devices that do not utilise Thunderbolt 5. Rescue Data Recovery Services are available with this product, though availability varies by country and terms and conditions apply.
