Lacie 1TB Neil Poulton Hard Drive (USB 2.0) Review

ByMike Moffit

Do you have a massive media collection clogging your Mac’s internal hard drive, and are looking to free up some space? The Neil Poulton designed Lacie 1TB Hard Drive may be your perfect solution. Featuring a high speed USB 2.0 connection and a tremendous amount of space, this external drive is a great value.

The drive includes everything you need to get started to either back up your data, or store your extra files. All cables are included, and all the drive needs to operate is a spare A/C outlet and a free USB port on your Mac. Transfer speeds were surprisingly fast and consistent due to the 7200 RPM speed of the drive. The drive’s design is very simple, and it sits nicely on top of a desk or in a media cabinet.

I nicknamed mine “Monolith” after the similarly designed black rectangle in Kubrick’s 2001. I use this hard drive on a daily basis and have nothing but the best to say about it. My only complaint is that the blue access LED can get annoying when using the drive in a dark room for extended periods of time.

  • Need to Charge Multiple iPhones or iPods?

    This day in age a vast majority of us have iPods–and now many of you have iPhones. As much as we love our gadgets, it can sometimes be a pain to charge one at a time, so which one do you pick?

    Leave it to Griffin Technology to solve that issue–one that I am surprised was not figured out sooner! The “PowerDock 2 Charging Cradle for iPod and iPhone”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 will let you charge two iPhones, two iPods or an iPod and an iPhone at once! It can sit on your desk, beside, by the front door, wherever you will remember to charge it. This gadget won’t hook up to your Mac–it has no ports other than the AC on the back–but I like the fact that you don’t have to have everything plugged into your Mac at all times.

    I also like the “Griffin PowerDock 2”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 because the thought of having my iPod or iPhone in the dock is more calming to me than just leaving my Apple gadget on the desk (in case it fell off–iPhone screen replacements are expensive!). A $39.99 price point seems fair to charge your devices to me! Most single iPod/iPhone chargers are about $19.99-$29.99 and this way you don’t have to worry about buying a sync cable as well. It’s also made out of brushed aluminum, which matches the MacBook Pros and iMacs very nicely (which is obviously super important!).
