Review: LaCie Little Disk

The ideal hard drive to me would entail the following:
* Small size
* Lots of capacity to load my junk
* FireWire __and__ USB (you never know which you’ll need)
* No need for a power supply
* Good Price

I didn’t have to look very far or very hard to find a hard drive that met all of my requirements.

The LaCie Little Disk Combo drive (which comes in 250GB, 320GB, and 500GB) fit everything on that list, and so compactly! LaCie even made the package cute! There is a (somewhat) retractable USB 2.0 cord (it’s almost too short to be retractable, but it’s perfect for a laptop.

The FireWire cable comes separately which allows for a bit more movement when hooking my Little Disk up to my MacBook Pro for a Time Machine back up. This little guy runs weighs about 7 oz and is no larger than about the size of an iPhone (a bit thicker though).

It also comes with a 2 Year Limited Warranty through LaCie and has all the cables you need!
