LaCie releases new USB 3.0 hard drives

LaCie is the name that many people would look for when it comes to portable hard drives, and this time around the company has another two models for your consideration if you have plenty of media and work files to tote around. To sweeten the deal, LaCie has decided to throw in USB 3.0 connectivity that offers data transfer speeds that is far superior to that of USB 2.0, and it is also a good thing that more and more companies are taking up the mantle of USB 3.0 by including such connectivity into their computers and devices. The LaCie Minimus and LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 is proof that size does not matter at all, delivering the industry’s fastest transfer speeds at 5Gb/s (theoretically speaking, of course) without bearing a whole lot of bulk. The ultra–small Rikiki form factor is perfect for users who do not want to sacrifice performance for mobility, while the LaCie Minimus is more suitable for users who want extra capacity without making a compromise on work space.
