Review date: Aug 25, 2008

If you have a truckload of data to backup, you’ll need an external storage drive with enough capacity to handle everything you might want to transfer to it, plus plenty of extra room for future backups. With the stylish LaCie Hard Disk, users can make good with a whopping 1TB of real estate to store their most valuable files, and thanks to some really slick bundled software, both Mac OS X and Windows users can take advantage of this drive. Design We’d be ignoring the obvious to start with anything other than the LaCie Hard Disk’s absolutely gorgeous build. Crafted by renowned designer Neil Poulton, the 1TB drive is a 7.6 x 4.6 x 1.8-inch block of super-glossy black sexiness that would be a head-turning addition to any computing area. At just 2.2 pounds, which is a hair lighter than the 2.4-pound 1TB Iomega eGo Desktop Portable Hard Drive
