Jan 17 2008LaCie Little Disk Drive Is Small, Holds Data
We've posted LaCie drives in the past, and the company always seems to go for style points with their designs. The Little Disk is LaCie's newest addition, and comes in 30GB and 40GB capacities ($130 and $160, respectively). As you can see, when the bottom is removed it has a retractable USB cable for connectivity. I actually like this so much that I went out and got one. I guess I should have read the packaging though, because I thought I was buying a futuristic Zippo. Turns out the thing can't light a cigarette for shit.

I filled mine with lighter fluid and now I can hold it in my hand and twirl it around while on fire. Yeeahhhh, Fire Drives!

Drives like this have been out for a while. Archos makes some. This one is just shiny and black, like my eye after I threw a pork chop at the bar.

They should get some design tips from LaCie!

Is it just me or does the hand holding the drive look a little strange? This guy is definitely not a hand model.

You got the USB version... the lighter only comes with the FIREWIRE verson.
