This sounds like a very dangerous feature if you ask me: "head-dissipating aluminum housing" I'd hope that was supposed to be " heat-dissipating aluminum housing"...

I've yet to be impressed by LaCie's offerings. They're hardly any different from the OEM enclosures that are available today, and they're a bit expensive for what they offer. I'd also be worried about a portable RAID-0 stripe… the risk of failure is quadrupled that way, because if one of the drives die, you lose everything!

It would be far better to just get two 1.0tb hard drives and two OEM enclosures, then you can use one as a backup drive in case the other one fails.

This is old news. In Japan you can already buy this 2TB disk along with it's slightly larger 4TB cousin.

Typo: The Big Disk Extreme+ units are also available in 1 and 1.5 GB capacities.

GB should be TB, obviously.
