The 2big NAS takes around a minute to initialize after turning on before it is usable. On the front of the device, you see a large iconic blue light, which blinks as the drives are initiated then remains steady during use. Under heavier use, you can begin to hear the fan kick in, but it’s hardly out of place. Through our review, the drive remained almost inaudible over sounds of the fans with the computer case. It cools the components while reducing electricity usage by not running as often as some other desktop hard drives. To help with cooling, LaCie uses a thermo-regulated fan, which turns on and off according to internal temperature. The aluminum design serves two purposes eloquent visual effect and thermal heat dispensing. The aluminum casing provides 60% more surface area, which diverts and dissipates heat more efficiently. The 2big NAS is no exception with its solid-aluminum design by Neil Poulton. LaCie continues with its tradition of providing eloquently designed external storage devices.
