LaCie's Ethernet Big Disk NAS hits 2TB
Now that just about everyone else has went and upped their NAS capacity to two whole terabytes, LaCie is strutting in fashionably late with its forthcoming 2TB Ethernet Big Disk. The 2- x 7- x 11-inch enclosure sports the typical metallic LaCie design scheme, plays nice with Windows, OS X, and Linux operating systems, and sports a web user interface that's apparently so easy a caveman (or your grandmother) could use it. The drive sports an Ethernet jack for connecting to a network, handles media streaming to UPnP-compatible devices, and packs a duo of USB ports that can be used to interface directly with a computer or for daisy-chaining another external HDD. Look for LaCie's 2TB NAS to land anytime for a stiff $1,099 here in the US.[Via TGDaily]
LaCie lets loose a pile of new products
Getting the jump on the CES and Macworld madness, LaCie has announced no less than a half dozen new products providing various sorts of external storage, with a pair of speakers thrown in for good measure. Likely to grab the most attention is the company's new external Blu-ray burner, compatible with Mac and Windows and packing dual USB and FireWire ports for your connectivity pleasure; it's set to ship later this month with a $1,149 price tag. On the hard drive-based front, LaCie's busted out the 500GB LaCie Quadra Hard Drive (available now for $299), the biometric-enhanced 500GB LaCie D2 SAFE Hard Drive (also now available for $299), the LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini and Ethernet Big Disk network storage solutions, available in a range of sizes from 250GB to 1TB for between $199 and $499, and the LaCie Ethernet Disk RAID, which'll give you up to 2TB of storage for $1,299. Lastly, LaCie's announced what appear to be the first bus-powered FireWire speakers, which will supposedly provide better sound than their USB-based counterparts while still letting you leave the AC adapter at home -- they'll set you back $79.[Via MacMinute]
