LaCie Hub gets reborn, goes USB-only

No need to fix something if it isn't broken, right? Apparently LaCie is feelin' said mantra, as its latest version of the Hub differs very little from last year's iteration in the design department, but it certainly shows preference for the tried and true Universal Serial Bus. The revamped Hub sports a totally round base for maximum wobbling, but maintains the white polycarbonate finish and strung out ports just like last time. If you'll notice, however, each of the seven cables are some form of USB 2.0, and no, there's not a production line snafu to blame. LaCie is betting that some of you out there would actually prefer an all-USB Hub, and if you just so happen to fit that mold, you can grab one now for $79.

Well the only reason I would buy one of these anyways is for a USB hub... and a good conversation starter!

I'd like to see it in reallife use. It looks like something that is meant to look good being photographed not to look nice in real life

The expression is actually "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Get it right!
