Aluminum Frame
For Porsche Design, the authenticity and quality of materials further exemplify the components inside. The aluminum frame of the LaCie Porsche Design Mobile and Desktop Hard Drives is elegant by appearance, but supports the functionality of the hard drive inside. They are built with durable and scratch-resistant aluminum, protecting the hard drive mechanics. The aluminum also regulates heat for guaranteed performance. And for the environment, the aluminum frame is recyclable.
