Before we get into a conclusion, lets crunch some numbers and compare the 2Big Network 2 and the 2Big NAS:
2Big Network 2 | 2Big NAS | |
Price of unit | $449 for 4TB over 2 drives | $649 for 6TB over 2 drives |
Price of Drives | ~$120 per drive, $240 total | ~$180 per drive, $360 total |
Price of enclosure without drives | $210 | $289 |
Taking a look at a simple breakdown and noting the differences between the two of them, you can see the $80 price difference between the two after considering drives. $80 for faster responsiveness, Larger Drive compatibility, and the latest filesystem. Since the 2Big Network 2 is not offered in a 6TB version, if you really need that space you’re really limited in terms of 2 bay NASs’ (From LaCie). In situations where speed is needed (either over a single connection or multiple connections) that difference in speed from the Network to the NAS would be worth it in my opinion. Price aside, I see nothing that requires changing with the 2Big NAS. However I’m reluctant to award it our Editors or Awesome award because of it’s slight (although effective) differences. So I am awarding the LaCie 2Big NAS our Awesome Hardware Award (Now known as our Bronze Award).
