is the LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt 4TB drive two 4TB drives (4TB real storage space) or really 2 2TB drives?

This model is 2- 2 TB drives that can be replaced or upgraded independently.

2 2TB drives. If you want to maximize storage space, choose a different raid configuration.

It contains 2 2TB drives which are linked to give it a 4TB capacity in my setup.

Yes. I currently am using 2 HDD's for total redundancy of my data so 2 4tb drives only provide 4tb of data storage. I am using a 3rd 4tb HDD to automatically backup the data. In the future if I add 2 more 4tb drives I could double the capacity of both the online storage and backup capacity.

The one I received is not identical to the one in the picture. Mine says SDHC/SD Extreme - 6th generation. I have no idea if it would support 2TB because I only have tested it with up to 64GB, but so far i am quite happy with its performance.

I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt. But I can say that it is 7200 RPM drive with both USB 3.0 and Firewire connections which seem to be the current state-of-the art. But it should provide more than adequate use for many years to come - that is the reason that I have purchased it for my system. I hasten to add that I have not received it yet and have no actual hands-on experience with this model although I do have two previous G-Technology drives and they continue to work flawlessly. I just need more storage capacity for my Timemachine files.I hope this info helps. I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt.

This device is really just two independent hard drives in a housing linked by software. I think the offer a 4TB unit as well.

Yes, there are three options- Speed (Raid 0), Security (Raid 1), Capacity (JBOD) = Just a Bunch Of Drives or like you asked "two disks separately as two 2TB drives". https://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10573

Zyxel lists two two 4 TB drives in their compatibility list: Western Digital WD4000FYYZ 4TB & Hitachi HDS724040ALE640 4TB. http://www.zyxel.com/ProductTab.shtml?pid=20091110160301&idx;=8&c;=gb&l;=en

From looking at the picture and description from the link... Both have thunderbolt so the data speeds are the same, the other drive has 2 thunderbolt ports no usb 3.0 (neither has fire wire), you can daisy chain the other one, it also has a built in fan instead of a heatsink. The only real difference is that you can hook multiple drives up to the other one, so if you have a second thunderbolt drive with a lot of media or you're working on a big project with a team of people that have their own hard drives with media it could be useful.

I imagine so, but I cannot confirm. I have mine (the 2 TB model) daisy chained with two older 1TB WD My Studio drives, running into a thunderbolt port, and have had not problems. Comp < 2TB [firewire to thunderbolt] < 1TB [firewire 800] < 1TB [firewire 800]They are really pretty much a plug and play solution, set them up once, and forget em. I wish I would have ponied up the other fifty or so bucks and for the 3TB to run as time machine. Hope this helps.

Hi to the best of my knowledge an experience on a Windows platform it shows as 2 separate drives. On the Mac os it shows as 1 drive.

I just wanted to add that RAID 1 means 2 3TB drives will show up as 3TB (not 6TB) as it is a "mirrored" solution (and what I would recommend). So the MAX capacity in that set up is 4TB.

It shows up as two physical drives 0 and 1 at 1 TB ea, further partitioned into 500 GB ea C-D-E-F. Haven't pulled it apart to see if in fact they are separate drives. 100% screaming machine but the drives are probably 75% screaming.

this drive has two internal drives with 2TB capacity EACH. Set to RAID0 the drive has total capacity of 4TB. Set to RAID1 it has max capacity 2TB duplicated on both drives.

Yes 2TB is listed on the description. That is what I bought. Mine had 2 TB.
