  1. Excellent Jim.

    I have a demo of the Western Digital’s DX4000 and I can see right off, that the LaCie box has a VGA port, 5 drive bays instead of 4, and it supports multiple drives. Western Digital will only support their own Enterprise 2TB & 3TB drives.

    Please let me know if it handles a server backup. Due to the 2TB VHD backup limit of SS2008R2E, WD’s DX4000 disables the server backup function, is this the same with LaCie ?

    • John this is using the same OS as the WD, so I expect the same type of issue will pertain. However, I plan on testing ISCSI nas-nas backup to a QNAP that I have around and will do a post on that. Please keep an eye out for that post.

    • John, confirming that this 2TB limit pertains to this product. If you install all of these drives in one RAID, you will have to find other backup solutions. Otherwise, this is a stellar product and I recommend it.
