LaCie has hit the mark again! The Rikiki drives by LaCie are ultra portable, solid, and are offered in capacities up to 640GB!
Rikiki (meaning “tiny” in French) is the smallest hard drive with a 640GB I have yet to see—the dimensions of this drive are just 4.3 × 2.9 inches. I love the fact that one of these guys fits without a problem into the small front pocket of my TimBuk2 bag!
The Rikiki drive is literally one piece—and a separate cable plugs directly into the resistant aluminum body which in turn you plug into your Mac (or PC). I really like this feature because in the past I have had drives with the cable built-in break off or get stuck if they were retractable. If for any reason, you lose or misplace the cable, they are only $10 to replace. I also like that the light on this drive is pretty subtle; it’s a yellowish orange color rather than the blinding blue light we have seen in the past!
But the best part about this drive is the price. You can get 250GB for $69.99, 500GB for $104.99 and 640GB for $134.99. This product is also backed by a two year warranty directly through LaCie.
