Lacies unveils Extrenal HDD designed by Neil Poulton

The Paris based hard drive company is going for a sophisticated style on their next releases. The latest Lacie external drives will feature design by international acclaimed award designer, Paul Poulton. The simple and classy monolithic rectangular enclosure has a blue ambient LED glow softy in the dark. The case is fan-less and air flow is assisted by with carefully thought-out plate holes.

They are available in 4 sizes from 320Gb to 1Tb with USB 2.0 Interface. Price is range from $149.99 to 399.99, packed with 1-click backup software for both PC and MAC. I wish they have ESATA version to use with my TIVO, the classic audiophile blue glow would matched and looked good on my component shelf.
