The other Logitec releases cooled-down external hard drives

by Donald Melanson, posted Aug 25th 2006 at 4:35PM

Japanese manufacturer Logitec (the h-less one) looks to be catering to more style-conscious media junkies with its latest external hard drives, available in two different models coming in 250, 300, 400, and 500GB varieties (all 7,200 RPM). The black model sports what Logitec calls an "i-Dial," which appears to be some sort of security mechanism, while the brushed aluminum one's, well, brushed aluminum -- which appears to be enough for Logitec to charge the same price for both of 'em. Look for them to be available in Japan in mid-September for 21,000, 25,100, 36,800, and 50,900 Yen, respectively (or between $180 and $434). All the drives also feature Logitec's "A.S.C SYSTEM" fanless cooling, although it doesn't look like you can just purchase the enclosure, unfortunately.

$180 for an hard drive case? NOT!

um, maybe if you read the article you'd realize that these are hard drives, not just cases. the word "case" doesn't appear anywhere in the article. in fact, it explicitly states that you CANNOT purchase JUST the case.

I think many Nintendo fans might get their new HDs confused with their Wiis.

@ bazald,
Actually, considering Wii's compatability with external memory devices, I'd totally get one of these Logitec HDs for mine. They totally match! Maybe you'd need an asymmetric stand for the HD though, haha.

Fanless cooling = lots of big holes in the case.

It is a good looking design, though.
