Little Disk

This glossy little cutie with removable interface cover for added protection represents LaCie’s Little Disk family of portable storage from 30 to 250 gigabytes.
The Little Disk is driver-free and pre-formatted for simple, one-step installation across all platforms and come in either 1.8- or 2.5-inch formats and with USB or Firewire connectivity.
“Designed for simplicity, the 1.8- and 2.5-inch drives are extremely portable and are bus powered, eliminating the need for A/C power. So whether you are on a bus, taking the train, or relaxing at the park, your data is always accessible.” said Nolwenn Rozen, LaCie product manager.
Suggested retail prices start at $99.99 for the 1.8-inch, $89.99 for the 2.5- inch USB 2.0 and $119.99 for the 2.5-inch Combo.
Lacie Biggest S2S RAID Tower – 5TB – 20TB, Nice!

This is nit-picking for a lovely device that provides 5TB of storage in a relatively compact form, but why did Lacie call it the "Biggest S2S"? What happens when they release a bigger one? Anyways, here are the specs:
- Standard 5TB storage, scalable to 20TB (via links with other units)
- Full RAID support
- 3Gb/sec eSATA interface
- eSATA-eSATA direct connection
- 200MB/sec burst rate
- Hot-swappable disks
The basic model with PCI-X is $3,699, which is a bit but reasonable for that amount of storage. HD video editors are probably already drowning in their own drool over this monster.
