LaCie Rugged in sedentary version
|
|
Rather than being carried around with you, LaCie Rugged 1 TB hard drive firstly aims to remain in the office and decorate your desk. Obviously, LaCie is here targeting an audience which, seduced by the nomad hard drive with rubberized façades, wishes to buy its office clone in 1 TB version, thus having a very coherent set in terms of aesthetics. Similarly Mac users, who like design and have to use large hard drives with time machine, will possibly get this new XL rugged - created by the designer Craig Poulton, who imagined diodes under the disk which diffuse a slight orange halo.
