I bought a sample of this device for a reasonnable price. Is there any experience/guess if fvdw firmware runs with this device? Since it has no LAN/WLAN interface integrated, my hope is to get an external WLAN dongle running. Like on NWSP2.

we need to know which motherboard is inside and which cpu.

Recently we managed to get support for some usb-lan dongles

I did some google searches and I found nothing about this Lacie device :( maybe because it's not a network device...

Edit : as the device don't have a network port, in any how you should open it if you try to install the firmware.

So you could take pictures of the motherboard

Perhaps you can derive informations from the pictures:

If you know where I can connect a serial interface and check for hints there.

Matzi that doesn't seem good.

If I read well you have an
862-OXUFS936QSE-PBAG, Universal Interface to Quad SATA RAID Controller. Highlights

And I think it doesn't support network feature :

this doesn't look like a cpu to me like we have in the lacie nas devices.
Probably it is just sata-usb-esata-firewire interface like you find in other external storage devices.

If I am right then basically it means not suitable to use as nas

--edit I posted almost at same time as Jocko, I think the datasheet he posted is confirming the above conclusion

That's a shame. I checked the other big chips on the board, there are more interface chips and a PLD Device: XILINK XC9572. Whatever it does is most likely too far from the Marvell µC.
Conclusion: Nothing to play with.
