LaCie announced a dual-disk Gigabit network storage and media server – the LaCie Network Space MAX, design by Neil Poulton. The Network Space MAX includes two hard drives that can be configured for maximum security (RAID 1) or maximum capacity (RAID 0). If protecting your data is a priority, the RAID 1 mode will ensure automatic disk mirroring – meaning all files will be copied onto each of the disks.

LaCie Network Assistant software helps you set up the product within a few minutes. It provides quick detection and access to the Network Space MAX. LaCie’s dashboard allows you to manage files, backups, private accounts, and download torrents.

Additionally, with the Network Space MAX, the files stored on the hard drive are accessible outside your home from any connected computer using the remote access service.

The Network Space MAX features a media server, making it easy to stream files to any connected computer or any UPnPTM/DLNA compliant device (such as a PlayStation3 or Xbox). Computers with iTunes installed can also stream the music stored on the Network Space MAX.

The LaCie Network Space MAX starts in 2TB capacity through the LaCie Online Store, LaCie Corner, LaCie Reseller+ starting at $279.99.
