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.

    So, who on earth makes 250GB drives? Last I heard the largest you could get was 200GB.

    If you have a 500GB mp3 collection, the RIAA would like to have a word with you. ....and maybe, just maybe, it's time to get off kazaa. Seriously. Just doing some rough calculations, That's over 5,000 hours of standard quality MP3 audio. over 200 days!

    Video editing requires a much faster harddrive than the specs mention. Firewire is not up to snuff.

    Perhaps video archiving though.

    Apparently, slashdot is apparently no longer content with repeating stories, it is now repeating itself within the story itself now. Apparently. It's repeating itself.

    So I take it that no one is feeling feisty and mean-spirited enough to mod #4816268 down as... (oh, I dare not say it!)...um, ok, I'll say it... REDUNDANT?
