LaCie has released an external hard drive for Apple’s new MacBook under its Porsche Design brand. The Porsche Design Mobile Drive is one of the first to be available with native USB-C support, making it an ideal accessory for the MacBook.
Given that the new MacBook comes with a single USB-C port, this means that the LaCie storage drive will be one of the first to work with Apple’s newest notebook without requiring users to carry around an adapter or purchase a new cable. While Apple is banking on the future with USB-C, the downside to the MacBook design is that you only get one port for video-out, peripherals, connecting storage drives, and power.
Housed in a silver aluminum casing, the LaCie Porsche Design Mobile Drive supports USB 3.0 specs, giving it transfer speeds of up to 100 MB/s. Though compatible with PCs and Macs, LaCie appears to be marketing the Porsche Design Mobile Drive to Mac owners given its sleek aluminum design.
Measuring 3.1 X 5.0 X 0.4 inches (7.9 X 12.8 X 1.1 cm), the Mobile Drive expands the internal 256GB or 512GB SSD storage of Apple’s newest notebooks with 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB capacities. …read more
