Sep 21 2007LaCie's New Hard Drive Is Golden
LaCie's new external hard drive will look like a beautiful golden wave glistening atop your desk. It was fabricated by Ora-Ito, a French designer, exclusively for LaCie. It packs 500 GB of storage, uses a USB 2.0 interface, and will run $189 when it drops next month. Why a plain unadorned rectangle is not enough for some people, I don't know (and I'm not the biggest fan of LaCie drives). But once I followed a rainbow to the end and there was a fat leprechaun sitting on one of these. He said it was stuffed with the porn of my wildest dreams. So I killed him and took it. It was empty, that lying little bastard.

it's decently nice, but completely useless. shit, you can't even stack another on there. and shit, i don't want to have to polish stuff on my desk....

The only problem with them being stackable is by the time you fill your one external drive up and go to buy another, they don't make the same one anymore so you can't stack them!

Lacie drives are terrible. They remind me of the time I had all my digital music and pictures stored on a Lacie drive and the whole thing got erased. Go with Seagate

Still 500 gb for 200 dollars isn't a bad deal. Then again i did get my 200 gb for 20 dollars during black friday (is that what its called I forget) :/
