LaCie Porsche Design USB 3.0 Drives, Style Meets Speed
With the exclusion of people living under a rock (though even then we hear that OBL had cable. ) knows the Porsche line of luxury sports cars are built for speed and style. Any automobile can be fast but few can look good while doing it: Porsche. This is why it doesn't come as any surprise that LaCie (a company known for their stylish sophistication) would partner with Porsche to produce a line of ultra-stylish USB 3.0 external storage devices. This line - aptly called the P’9000 series - consists of two separate and distinct drives. The larger of the two is a desktop model and relies on a 3.5" hard drive (think of it as a Porsche Cayenne) and is called the P'9230. The second is smaller and more portable and based on a 2.5" hard drive (think Porsche Boxster) and is called the P'9220. Both cases are made from aluminum and have a very understated elegance. The desktop version comes in sizes ranging from 1TB to 2TB with prices ranging from $119.99 to $159.99. The portable P9220 version comes in 500GB, 750GB and 1TB but LaCie only listed price for the 500GB ($104.99). Interestingly, the 750GB will only be available exclusively at none other than Porsche Design Stores.
