Lacie Two Big SATA RAID with USB These drives are amazing! In our tests with the Lacie Two Big on a MacBook Pro with SATA ExpressCard we were able to achieve 100MB/sec sustained speeds! That’s easily faster than all Firewire 800 drives! Never before have we seen a 2TB RAID with these specs at this price! Inside are two SATA drives just like the high speed drives in the Mac Pro. These drives can be easily removed in just two steps. You can remove the face without the need of tools and eject the SATA drive with the pull of a ring. This allows the purchase of additional drives for swapping. SATA drives are faster, run cooler, and are easier to install compared to the previous generation PATA drives. With a SATA PCI card installed you can now have external storage that is faster than internal. Worried about drive failure? Have files that must be kept no matter what? Run in SAFE mode – even if one drive goes down all you data is automatically copied to the 2nd drive – how’s that for sleeping better at night? Included inside is a built-in fan to keep the drives running cool. Built-up heat can end a shorten a drives lifespan. We’ve now been using the 2 Big for months straight 24/7 with perfect results! At these ultra low prices, these drives are a tremendous bargain! Perfect for DV, HDV, XDCAM, and DVCPRO HD.

I’m interested in buying this drive but I don’t know were I can get the express card from. Does LaCie sell such cards?
