LaCie launches stylish portable HDDs in India

LaCie, the world-renowned storage solution provider, has launched two new portable hard drives in India that focus on style as much as they do about substance. The LaCie Starck Mobile Hard Drive is the result of a collaboration between LaCie and designer Philippe Starck. Its sturdy 2mm of aluminum casing keeps the drive from overheating and helps it to be very resistant, thus enhancing its overall dependability. The polished aluminum exterior is stylish and tough, but also light enough to transport, making the LaCie Starck both chic and mobile. A convenient aspect of the LaCie Starck is its embedded USB cable, which allows you to maximize its compact nature and portability. The LaCie Petit Hard Disk is one of the smallest, most compact drives on the market, making it an ideal choice for users that need constant access to their data. It’s small enough to fit in a pocket, but looks good on any desk. Its USB 2.0 interface helps the LaCie Petit work on almost any computer, anywhere. Covered in aluminum, the LaCie Petit features a sturdy, resistant casing that keeps the drive cool, and most importantly, protected. Both the drives work on Windows or Mac; come with the USB Boost feature for increased drive performance up to 33%; have LaCie Backup Assistant and Setup Assistant installed; and bring an added cloud computing advantage with 10GB online storage via Wuala. Available in 320 and 500 GB capacities with a 2-year warranty, Neoteric Infomatique is retailing the LaCie Starck and the LaCie Petit at prices of Rs. 5,900 and upward.
