The Pros:Attractive exterior design with anodized aluminium. Premium materials adding durability, can withstand a few bumps and drops. 2 year warranty with good support from LaCie.
The Cons:Only USB 2.0 output, no Firewire or sSATA output. Paying for aesthetics rather than performance, hard drives from Western Digital and Seagate are available at a lower price.
