“On December 5, 2007, LaCie announced yet another hard drive with a breathtakingly sleek design. The “Hard Disk” by Neil Poulton is a study in elegant simplicity – glossy black surface, no markings or logos, and a soft LED light that spills a blue glow in front of the drive. If you value design aesthetics as much as drive reliability, the $149 USD 500GB LaCie Hard Disk might be the right choice for you.
