LaCie Minimus and Rikiki With USB 3.0

LaCie debuts USB 3.0 hard drives for your desktop or pocket – the LaCie Minimus and LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0. Proving size does matter, LaCie delivers transfer speeds at 5Gb/s in its ultra–small Rikiki form factor – for users that refuse to sacrifice performance for mobility; and the LaCie Minimus – for users that enjoy their terabytes as much as desk space.

Complementing their small sizes, the Rikiki and Minimus hard drives are encased in sturdy brushed aluminum for an aesthetic appeal. The aluminum offers resilience from blunders, improved heat dissipation, and is recyclable.

Designed to be simple from the inside out, the Rikiki and Minimus come with LaCie’s Software Suite to ensure seamless setup and backup support for Mac or PC. Additionally, each product comes with 10GB of Wuala online storage to securely store and share files online.

"The Minimus and Rikiki USB 3.0 offer our customers easy and affordable options to access the super speeds of USB 3.0," said Philippe Rault, LaCie Consumer Product Manager. "Since these products offer backward compatibility with USB 2.0, they will work on any PC or Mac with no worry."
