For over a decade, the Porsche Design series from LaCie has been the source of some of the most beautifully crafted PC peripherals on the market. Their latest Porsche Design Mobile Drives continue to bear the series’ iconic good looks, but there’s been a tech overhaul — these drives have USB Type-C ports. Better yet, […]
Just when you think you couldn’t possibly fill up a 2-terabyte hard drive, you suddenly realize you’re getting close to capacity with all the content you need to store these days. PC gamers are running out of space to download every Steam game they own; artists who handle photos and videos (especially 4K ones) cannot […]
Seagate’s Backup Plus Portable Drive is all about packing in a lot of storage, in a compact body. Because lets face it, 1TB and 2TB just isn’t enough anymore – photos and video files alone can accumulate really quickly. In any case, the drive measures just 78.00mm wide, 114.50mm and it weighs just 541g. It’s […]
How do you celebrate 35 years in the storage business? You release the world’s thinnest external drive of course. The Seagate Seven is a new frontier in portable storage, so not only is it extremely cool looking, but it is only 7 mm thick with a capacity of 500 GB. That may not sound that […]
Usually, when we talk about external storage, we’re either looking at USB thumb drives with relatively small amounts of flash memory or external hard disks with higher capacities. External SSDs are still an uncommon sight, mainly because solid state storage costs so much more—that’s why USB thumb drives usually have no more than 16 GB […]
LaCie’s extremely popular Rugged series has been updated and it’s now better than ever. Designed by Neil Poulton, the drive has risen to the ranks over the years thanks to its bold and tough design – and this time around, it’s even tougher. To that effect, you’ll be covered for drops up to 2 meters (6.6 […]
Bought a Macbook Pro or an iMac a while back, and now you’re wishing now that you had splurged for a bigger SSD? Or maybe you have just ran out of storage on your Mac? Sure, you can easily pick up an ordinary external hard drive, but if performance and portability are of utmost importance, […]
External portable hard drives are a dime a dozen, but Seagate’s new Backup Plus Fast Portable Drive manages to pack in 4TB of storage in a body that measures just 116.90mm x 82.50mm and weighs just 0.307kg / 10.8 ounces. But not only is that a lot of storage in a small space, Seagate claims […]
LaCie keeps on stepping up their game when it comes to high-end portable hard drives – their newest, the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2, keeps up with the demands of media professionals, by allowing for 4k video editing from the set – no heavy-duty hardware required.

Lenovo is getting in on that personal cloud storage business in a big way – with a storage device that can hold up to 6 TB of data. The Lenovo Beacon is a personal storage device, the likes of which we’ve seen many times in the past couple years, especially with storage getting cheaper and […]
Normally, I would decry a luxury tech device with a French accent in the name as utterly insufferable, but LaCie and silver design house Christofle are actually from France, so I guess the Sphère gets a pass. Sphère is a ritzy-for-the-sake-of-it silver-plated hard drive in the form of a sphere that looks like it might […]
Just about everyone these days uses some Cloud storage service, such as SkyDrive or DropBox, etc. Unfortunately these services are limited to a just few gigs, unless you pony up for a subscription plan. So while free cloud storage plans are great for some basic picture and document backup, if you want access to all […]
Could a personal cloud compete with public services like Dropbox and Google Drive? That might just be the case with WD’s My Cloud line of drives, which offer huge amounts of storage for the price of a regular external hard drive. And yes, you’ll be able to access your files from anywhere. That certainly sounds […]

The ioSafe Rugged Portable Firewire 800 is not the same external hard drive you grew up with. For starters, not only does it look great, it also manages to be tougher than any portable hard drive you have probably ever owned. As a matter of fact, the drive is able to provide crush protection up […]
