LaCie Introduces Credit-Card Sized 8GB USB Key

LaCie unveils the latest in storage technology: a credit-card sized USB key called the LaCie Carte Orange that offers an unprecedented 4GB (4000MB) or 8GB (8000MB) storage capacity.

Measuring at 6mm height and weighing less than 60g, LaCie Carte Orange's smart and convenient design easily fits in small pockets and wallets making it the most convenient way to travel with lots of data.

LaCie Carte Orange is powered by an integrated USB connector, which can be plugged into any USB-equipped computer. The flexible connector allows users to plug LaCie Carte Orange into the port wherever it may be located on the computer, and retracts for safe transportation. LaCie Carte Orange is plug-and-play for newer operating systems-no software or drivers are needed-allowing for quick and easy data transfers from one computer to another.

LaCie Carte Orange can immediately be used across multiple platforms (Mac OS 9.x/10.x and Windows 98SE through XP). Simply plug the integrated Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connector into a laptop or desktop and start transferring files. LaCie Carte Orange's USB 2.0 connectivity offers interface transfer rate of up to 480Mbits/s. LaCie offers an optional USB extension cable, which is a convenient way to extend reach for computers that require a longer cable. LaCie Carte Orange can also be re-formatted to fit specific needs.

LaCie Carte Orange USB keys are available for $99.99 (4GB version) and $149.99 (8GB version).
