LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 Hard Drive

The new USB 3.0 standard is certainly very appealing. It offers up to 10 times more bandwidth than the old USB 2.0 port, allowing users to copy larger files quickly. This is very suitable in today’s modern world, especially with the increasing number of HD multimedia files – including HD quality movies that you may want to carry with you while traveling – and the increasing size of general files.

Since the new USB 3.0 standard is becoming more and more common, we can expect to see hardware manufacturers producing compatible devices according to the new standard. The new LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 Hard Drive is one of them, offering top-notch mobile hard drive functionalities and a superb USB 3.0 connection support.

The LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 Hard Drive comes with 500GB storage capacity. Although this is relatively small compared to most hard drives we have today, it is certainly one of the largest among mobile hard drives that use no additional source of power. It is also rumored that LaCie is scheduling a release of larger portable hard drives that support the same USB 3.0 standard.

Back to the LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 Hard Drive, the product is intensely industrial almost to the point that it is utterly cool. The aluminum exterior shell coupled with the industrial finish make this device simply too good to miss. Those of you who don’t really have a USB 3.0-capable computer or laptop can still connect LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 Hard Drive to a standard USB 2.0 port as well.
