The LaCie portable hard drive with its brushed aluminum wrapping and mirror-polished chrome finish has attained the solid look and performance even for rough handling. The designers have given it a brilliant touch of elegance which can be revealed through its status LED light that glows in orange color with the signature “+” of the manufacturer. By simply touching the chrome surface will launch an application or trigger a shortcut followed by turning the orange light into green.

If you hold your touch for a little longer, the device will back up your data automatically from the desktop or notebook. Desktop LaCie hard drives come in one or two terabyte storage capacity, while the portable version features 320 GB and 500 GB capacity.
