The LaCie Network Space 2's setup process was fast and easy. A year ago, you could possibly get by with just 1TB, however, now this is rather limited. At the time of this review, LaCie doesn't offer the LaCie Network Space 2 in other capacities. You can't replace this hard drive, either the LaCie Network Space 2 is designed in such a way that you can't replace it without breaking its cover. The device has four rubber feet to keep it grounded on any surface, which also creates an open area underneath to keep it ventilated. You can use the Network Space 2 as either an external USB drive or a NAS server. There's also a Gigabit Ethernet port next to it, used to connect the device to a network and then used as a NAS server. This port is used to connect the Network Space 2 directly to a computer to use it as an external hard drive. On the back you'll find a type-B female USB port. This makes the shape of the light beam change according to how high the device is from the surface. The coolest thing about this light is the fact that it shines blue light downward like a car's headlight. Solid blue means the device is powered on and ready, and flashing blue means the hard drive is working. This light indicates the power status of the device as well as the activities of the hard drive. This isn't an ideal or convenient position for this port, especially if you're looking to hook up something to it permanently.ДЄlso on the front is the device's very trendy bottom-facing blue light. On its front is a type-A female USB port to host a USB external storage device or a printer.

The Network Space 2 takes the shape of a super-sleek-looking black brick.
