New Triple Interface Hard Disk up to 1TB by LaCie

LaCie today announced the latest model
of its Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton – a new triple interface
version consisting of USB 2.0, eSATA, and Firewire 400 in capacities of
500 gigabytes (GB), 750GB and 1 terabyte.

Created exclusively for LaCie
by noted designer Neil Poulton, the sleek and compact device is
fashioned in a black-mirrored finish and includes a unique blue LED
strip that creates a rich ambient glow to enhance the storage
experience.

The Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton is a compact desktop solution
that features natural heat dissipation thanks to a sturdy casing with
bottom plate holes for natural airflow. The device can connect to any
universal Hi-Speed USB 2.0, eSATA, or FireWire 400 interface port for
cross-platform compatibility with either a PC or Mac. Plug and play
setup is simple and efficient with Windows® 2000, XP, Vista, and Mac
OS X 10.3 or higher.

“We are very excited to offer the new triple interface Hard Disk,
Design by Neil Poulton,” said Lise Manteau, LaCie Desktop Hard Drive
Product Manager. “The USB-only version announced late last year has
been very popular. With this new product offering, we are now able to
reach customers who prefer faster transfer rates with FireWire 400 and
eSATA 1.5Gbit connectivity.”

The product comes preloaded with LaCie ‘1-Click’ Backup Software
for PC and Mac and the Mac-only SilverKeeper; both are simple to use
software solutions for regularly backing up any system. Also preloaded
is the LaCie Setup Assistant, a utility that optimizes the drive
according to your needs and automatically copies the user manual and
utilities to the computer (Mac, Windows, or cross-platform
environments).

The 500GB triple interface Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton can store up to 710 movies, 135,000 songs, or 550,000 photos.
