LaCie Announces USB-C Reversible Connector on Porsche Design Mobile Drive

Seagate Technology plc’s premium brand LaCie has announced the addition of USB-C technology to its Porsche Design Mobile Drive. This product combines the ease of use of USB-C with the proven speed, style and durability of the LaCie Porsche Design line, making it the perfect match for the latest MacBook.

The LaCie Mobile Drive features a USB-C port — touted as the user-friendly connector of the future. This new technology makes the LaCie Mobile Drive easy to connect, since both ends of the cable are identical and the connector is reversible — similar to Apple’s Lightning connectors in iOS devices. As a result, there is no need to worry about which end goes to which device or about plugging it in upside down.

The LaCie Mobile Drive’s USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 100 MB/s*, and it features an enclosure made from 3 mm-thick solid aluminum for on-the-road durability.

Especially designed for Mac users, this drive features the same stylish, sophisticated aluminum finish as the latest MacBooks. Plus, it is Time Machine compatible, so Mac users can use the LaCie Mobile Drive to seamlessly back up files using built-in software. Thanks to the included adapter cable, it is also compatible with standard USB 3.0 (Type-A) or USB 2.0 ports.

The LaCie Mobile Drive features a two-year limited warranty that includes comprehensive, complimentary web-based resources, expert in-house technical support, and worldwide repair and/or replacement coverage. It is possible to upgrade this service with warranty extensions and fast product replacement. For more information, visit: http://www.lacie.com/warranties

The new LaCie Mobile Drive will be available next quarter in 500 GB (slim size), 1 TB and 2 TB capacities through the LaCie Online Store and LaCie Resellers.
