LaCie
today announced the Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton, a newly
designed, sophisticated looking device available in capacities of
320GB, 500GB, 750GB and 1TB. Sleek and compact, the 3.5-inch disk
emits a bright blue line from underneath that creates a unique ambient
glow. The Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton is ultra compact for a
desktop drive and features natural heat dissipation due to a sturdy
casing with bottom plate holes for natural airflow – enabling fanless
operation.
The Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton can connect to any
universal high-speed USB 2.0 interface. Cross-platform compatibility
allows the device to be used on either a PC or Mac, and plug and play
setup is simple and efficient with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Mac OS
X.
“The Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton will be the keystone to
LaCie’s line of desktop drives,” said Lise Manteau, LaCie Desktop Hard
Drive Product Manager. “This user-friendly, trendy looking device
offers maximum storage capabilities for a desktop drive that is one of
the most compact designs on the market today. The integrated blue LED
adds a science fiction dimension not common with other drives.”
“The idea was to design a polished black marble slab.
Mysterious. Impervious. Black mirror finish. Giving no idea to its
function,” added Neil Poulton.
The product comes preloaded with LaCie’s ‘1-Click’ Backup Software for
PC and Mac making it a complete storage solution to regularly back up
an entire system, or upgrade capacity when the computer’s hard drive is
full. Also preloaded is the LaCie Setup Assistant, a new utility that
optimizes the drive according to your needs and automatically copies
the manual and utilities to the computer.
The Hard Disk is
available now in Europe, followed by North America and Asia.Suggested retail price with VAT:
500 GB / 7200 RPM: €139
