LaCie Releases 500GB Add On Drives

Posted by chrisd on from the big-big-disks dept.

Glewtion writes "LaCie has release their "Big Disk" - a large capacity FireWire case (400 / 500GB) with decent specs. The only thing they're not clear on is the fact that there are two drives in the case...but that only seems logical. Looks like it's only available in Europe though, so here's a link to a French Hardware site's description of it (translation courtesy of Google). Pretty cool for a portable MP3 collection. Here's the LaCie page." What's not apparant is that this case has two drives in it apparantly. Very Slick.

      Yes but in Sweden you get Health Care and Old Age Pension with your expensive hard drive purchase. Of course, you still have to drive to Denmark for your booze. How sad.

      to both of the above replies, at the risk of taking this even further OT. . .

      >>What's the benefit of that 25% sales tax again, borkaborkaborka?

      >Umm, free education, safety and good public services? There arent too many slums in scandinavia.

      free education? check -- pell granted my way all the way. State U got me that fat paycheck, in case you were gonna get cynical about State U's.

      safety? check -- ever been to NH?

      good public services? see above. BTW, I can afford my own services and can do a much better job of selecting and administering their application than any gubament, as can my neigbors. Unless you were referring to military sevices, in which case: hahahaha.

      slums? what's a slum? Oh, like in NYC, Detroit, and LA? Uh, not my prob. Besides, once drugs are legalized and subsequently become nice and cheap, slums will all disappear from mass suicide. Buh bye lusers.


      >An amazingly low (compared to the US) national debt?
      >I wonder if his country owes nearly 20k per citizen...

      and I should care about this because . . . ?

      I'll take a superb lifestyle and rosy GNP over 'low debt' with no possibility of a significantly scary collection agent any day.
