It is difficult to make hard disk drives look like art pieces that belong to a gallery, so LaCie's Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton is simply a joy to behold. As if taking a cue from Samsung's recent printer offerings with sleek piano black finishes, the 3.5-inch disk emits a blue LED glow too. LaCie’s Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulton packs a choice of different capacities of 320GB, 500GB, 750GB and 1TB. And the best part is, it weighs less than 1 kg.

No cooler fan is required as the bottom plate holes allow for natural airflow, so that heat is dissipated quickly. The hard disk can connect to any universal high-speed USB 2.0 interface, and also can be used on either a PC or Mac. And with LaCie's '1-Click' Backup Software for PC and Mac, all your data is regularly, and easily backed up on your system with no hassle. Alternatively, get the company's 2big Network for all your company's data storage needs. Check out the other 'art pieces' on Lacie's website.'
