14 DAY TRIAL // As we were telling you a couple of days ago, LaCie came up with a complete solution meant to also enable USB 3.0 connectivity on Apple's Mac systems, and now, the company released yet another portable storage offering that leverages the enhanced data transfer speeds enabled by SuperSpeed technology and that will certainly look very well when used together with a MacBook Pro or perhaps even the brand-new MacBook Air. The device in question is the Philippe Starck – LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0, that comes equipped with a 2mm, sturdy aluminum case, that should make it one of the most resistant choices for consumer hard drives on the market (especially since the aluminum offers resilience from blunders, improved heat dissipation, and is fully recyclable). Moreover, users shouldn't have too many problems carrying this thing around, since it measures 92 x 133 x 20 mm / 5.2 x 3.6 x 0.8 in. and weighs around 337 g / 11.9 oz. LaCie's Starck Mobile USB 3.0 hard drive is available in a single, 500GB version, which should prove to be quite enough for many users, while in the same time enabling some pretty high data transfer rates, namely up to 5Gb/s (600MB/s) for USB 3.0 interfaces and up to 480Mb/s (60MB/s) for the already “classical” USB 2.0 ports. Furthermore, the LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 comes with LaCie Setup Assistant software to easily install your drive on PC and Mac and also includes LaCie Backup Assistant, which helps make automatic backup a snap. In addition, users will get 10GB of Wuala Online Storage included for one year to securely store, share and sync your data online. Pricing for LaCie's Starck Mobile Drive USB 3.0 has been set at just around 110 US dollars, which is, in fact, quite an accessible one, all things considered.
