LaCie have just introduced a new triple interface hard disk to their range. Created by Scottish product designer, Neil Poulton, the sleek black disk is “the first LaCie product to bring eSATA connectivity to a consumer level product,” according the to the company, combining that interface with USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 ports.

Setup is nearly effortless; it’s plug & play and offers automatic formatting with LaCie Setup Assistant. LaCie ‘1-Click’ Backup Software (PC and Mac) is also included for quickly saving important files in one click.
