"Featuring the well-known LaCie d2 heat sink design, developed by Neil Poulton, the Little Big Disk is entirely fanless, which allows it to operate flawlessly without posing as a noise distraction when editing content. The sturdy Little Big Disk is 100 percent bus-powered by the FireWire interface, in spite of the two 2.5-inch disks inside, and weighs in at a little over 1.4 pounds," LaCie said.
The drive is fully compatible with OS X Leopard including Time Machine and Windows Vista.
The LaCie Little Big Disk Quadra 1TB is now available directly from LaCie and its dealer network. It is priced at US$659.99.
