When Philippe Starck works, our world watches – and when Starck teamed up with LaCie to help design two new external hard drives, we stayed attentive. Both the mobile and desktop hard drives appear to have fluid silver magma protected by a hard aluminum outer shell – or as Starck describes it, a brain with a motorcycle helmet.
Beyond pure aesthetics, the inner ‘brain’ is touch-sensitive as well, allowing users to manipulate applications. The devices connect via a USB cable and do not require their own power supply. The desktop model comes in 1TB or 2TB capacities, while the mobile drive holds either 430GB or 500GB. - Andrew J Wiener.
