Luxury, thy name is LaCie Chrome—and you’re easily one of the fastest portable hard drives in the world.
They promise a ton of external storage while keeping your setup clean.
Maximum PC: Peanut butter and jelly go together, and the same goes for Coke and Rum. Heck, we can think of any number of combinations that make sense, but storage and sex appeal? That's a first for us, and when we heard Seagate was combining the two, Maximum PC Online Managing Editor and self-proclaimed fashion expert Jimmy Thang made an all-out sprint for Seagate's section at the Consumer Electronics Show. What he saw was, well, himself! And you could see yourself, too, if you look at the LaCie Mirror, an external hard drive with a mirror finish.
For the past two years now, LaCie has revealed at least one new artist collaboration at CES, and this year is no different. Keeping with the reflective theme of last January's device, the 2015 edition is wrapped in Gorilla Glass and appropriately called Mirror. After teaming up with Philippe Starck and Christofle for previous releases, the company tasked French designer Pauline Deltour for the shiny 1TB hard drive that's covered in Corning's durable glass material and powered by its USB connection (no Thunderbolt here). To properly show the thing off on your desk, a stand of ebony wood provides a resting spot. If you're looking to keep the collection going, or just nab this particular entry, Mirror will arrive later this month for $280. What's that? You were hoping LaCie would have a new Rugged portable hard drive, too? Well, read on.
Huge fan of LaCie's external HDD's... I've ben that unlucky soul who has lost neat a tb of data but (knocks on wood) ever since I started backing data up on a LaCie, I've never had a problem.
Never had heard about this external hard drive but looks interesting.
I have no doubts to the contrary. LaCie's backup data is a thing of beauty.
