Lacie 5big Network 7.5TB external drive

Remember when 1TB seemed like a huge amount of storage? Start shooting some high definition video, however, and it soon starts to look pretty small again - which is where Lacie comes in with its gigantic 5big Network drive.

Available in 2.5TB, 5TB and an enormous 7.5TB capacity, it should keep your storage needs fulfilled for some time to come. In addition to providing a huge digital locker to keep your files safe, it also supports RAID to provided additional safety should one of the disks inside it fail.

If that's still not sufficient storage for your needs, you can even add extra space thanks to the USB port or three eSata connectors. It comes complete with backup software, so you don't even have to remember to set it going - once it's installed you can simply leave it to get on with the task.

The 5big Network is available now, prices start at £699. See Lacie for further details.
