Maximum PC: What do fast cars and fast storage have in common? We're not sure, but let's not bemoan the pairing of LaCie and Porsche Design, a German design studio founded by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, grandson of the Porsche founder and designer of the Porsche 911. These two firms decided to collaborate on a USB thumb drive and what they came up with is a slim, sleek, and secure stick that's made of steel.
They promise a ton of external storage while keeping your setup clean.
Luxury, thy name is LaCie Chrome—and you’re easily one of the fastest portable hard drives in the world.
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.
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.
That's cool...if you have a porsche...
