MWB: LaCie offers mini drive for Mac mini

LaCie this week will introduce its new mini drive with up to 250GB capacity and either FireWire or USB interfaces. LaCie mini drive can be used to back up the Mac mini hard drive, add storage capacity, or easily transfer files to another computer with the same interface. The drive's unique four-corner crown fits exactly underneath Mac mini to create a stable, symbiotic harmony. The FireWire versions are available immediately from the Apple Store in 80GB, 160GB, and 250GB models; the FireWire models and a 300GB USB 2.0 model will be available via other channels in September.

"LaCie mini is a perfect addition for anyone with a new Apple Mac mini. Extra storage will allow you the freedom to store more photos, videos, music and files than before," says Olivier Mirloup, LaCie Senior Product Manager. "With its compact aluminum design the stackable LaCie mini perfectly complements Mac mini while also being stylish enough to use with any other computer."

LaCie mini drive says the enclosure was engineered to allow for a natural cooling airflow to move between itself and Mac mini, which keeps both drives cool and safe while in operating mode. The design also allows several drives to be stacked for preserving desk space. LaCie's mini drives offer convenient plug-and-play operation and require no drivers under Mac OS X; the FireWire models are daisy-chainable with other FireWire devices.

It appears the USB 2.0 models are available NOW, not the FireWire models. They will be out in September.
