LaCie hard drives have always been top sellers here at Small Dog Electronics. This is likely due to their combination of attractive and interesting designs, good pricing, and long history of Mac compatibility—even before OS X. With the advent of Apple’s automatic backup program Time Machine, LaCie drives have become even more popular. The ultra-simple Neil Poulton drives are perfect for Time Machine.

LaCie has recently introduced a couple of new models of hard drives: the LaCie Starck Desktop Hard Drive and the LaCie Grand Hard Disk. Both are available in large 1TB and 2TB capacities. Both are ideal for use with Time Machine, both continue LaCie’s tradition of interesting design, and we expect both to be very popular this holiday season—as both gifts and for personal purchases.

The LaCie Starck drives feature a touch-sensitive surface. You can customize the front panel of the LaCie Starck drive so that a simple touch will launch the application of your choice, based on a short tap or a long tap. It’s easy to use and efficient. The LaCie Starck has a sturdy aluminum casing that protects the drive from shock and overheating. The Starck drives have a USB 2.0 interface and feature a 2-year warranty.
