LaCie Crams 1TB Into Durable Aluminum Shell
LaCie's new Rikki Go offers 1TB in a durable aluminum chassis.
Thursday LaCie revealed the Rikki Go, a portable hard drive packing 1TB of storage and an embedded USB cable. The new portable drive also uses a sturdy, aluminum chassis, giving it a "resilient form factor that protects your media from everyday blunders."
"We are thrilled to introduce 1TB capacity in this ultra-small, durable form factor," said Quitterie Lescarret, Consumer Product Manager, LaCie. "Today's on-the-go consumers need to access vital media quickly and dependably. With its industry-leading capacity, Rikiki Go provides users with the ultimate data storage and mobility, at a competitive price."
The hardware specs are minimal at best: the device measures just 2.9 x 4.3 x .5 inches and comes in both 500GB and 1TB capacities. The Rikki Go also provides users with 10GB of secure online storage (provided by Wuala), a two-year warranty, and a simplified software suite for "quick setup and easy-to-use backup management." Transfer rates are up to 480 Mbits/s thanks to the slower (and cheaper) USB 2.0 interface.
The Rikki Go drives are priced at $89.99 (500GB) and $149.99 (1TB), and can be purchased through the LaCie Online Store, LaCie corner, and resellers.

1TB is a whole bunch of data that one's dog could use as a chew toy...

It takes a whole lot of stupidity to let a dog or child toy with something containing important data. If you let a dog have your HDD, you deserve it being destroyed (assuming a dog can chew aluminium to begin with).
