There's one thing that always seem to ring true when it comes to computers, you can never have enough storage space and it seems like LaCie has tried to follow this with its latest 5big Network NAS, as it will be available in sizes from 2.5 to 7.5TB.

The 2.5 and 5TB models aren't such a big deal, as the 5big Network has five hot-swappable drive bays, but going to 7.5TB requires five of the latest Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives, as these are the only 1.5TB drives currently on the market.

Feature wise the 5big Network is pretty impressive as well, as not only does it have a Gigabit Ethernet port which LaCie claims can manage 12-16MB/s writes and 22-32MB/s reads, but it also has three eSATA ports for additional drives as well as a USB 2.0 port. The rear ports can also be used for backing up onto the 5big Network form external drives.

You can also rest assure that your data will be safe as the 5big Network supports a wide range of RAID options including RAID 0, RAID 10, RAID 5 (with or without a spare) and RAID 6 and unless you run RAID 0, it's very improbable that you would ever lose any data stored on the 5big Network. LaCie also supplies three licences each of PC and Mac network backup software.

We're not convinced it's great value for money for the average home user, but we'd expect it to be a tempting device for many smaller businesses that needs a solid backup solution. The 2.5TB model starts at US$899.99, with the 5TB version coming it at $1,399.00 and finally the 7.5TB model at $1,899.00. Hardly cheap, but then again, it's not like LaCie has a lot of competition in the 7.5TB market at the moment. All models will be available later this month.

A 7.5TB NAS would be pretty nice. I'm starting to wonder whether they'll ever reach a ceiling with storage capacity. :rolleyes:

btw if you havent notice in the article

it is 7.5 TB storage using 5 HDD X 1.5 TB

i have read artilce a while ago we should see 2-4TB solo HDD by 2010

utilising some kind of tech to double the storage per inch in HDD

i believe it is WD said so

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
