The mini Hard Drive & Hub 500 GB External Hard Drive from LaCie is a high-capacity drive with an interface that allows it to be connected via USB 2.0 or FireWire-400 and a rotation speed of 7200 rpm. Built in FireWire-400 and USB 2.0 hubs allow you to connect peripheral devices directly to the hard drive, giving you extra connections where you need them the most. The drive is housed in a durable external casing that is designed to fit directly underneath your Mac mini.
The drive features quiet operation, with heat dissipation being achieved by a natural airflow between the drive and the computer. With sustained data transfer rates of 40 MB/sec using FireWire-400 and 34 MB/sec using USB 2.0, this drive is an excellent solution for video editing, high-resolution imaging, data backup or general storage.
