LaCie Announces 500GB Portable Drive

LaCie just announced a new 500 GB Portable FireWire Drive. If you are not sure what this is doing in a film discussion board, you have probasbly not done any digital animation, editing or compositing. The new 500GB drive sells for $949, a similar 400GB model for $899.

When I set up a half a terabyte at Will Vinton Studios for the animated TV show Gary & Mike (2001) it occupied a full rack and cost nearly $20,000. Common everyone, say it with me (and sound like Neo from The Matrix as you say it):

“Whoa!”

    As an update I have since read accounts from owner ofother d2 style drives who report that while the drive is fanless, it still creates an inordinate ammount of noise.
