The 2TB Starck Desktop Hard Drive from LaCie is a USB 2.0 desktop hard drive with a design by world-famous designer Philippe Starck. Starck's first collaboration with LaCie, the groundbreaking line of "Toaster" hard drives, made waves 15 years ago. This new design houses the drive in a durable 3mm aluminum enclosure, which is both durable and efficient in dissipating heat.
The drive's face is a touch-sensitive surface which can be customized to open any application that you choose. You'll be able to configure it to recognize a short tap or a long touch, giving it dual functionality. The facade also features the Starck signature LED which projects the designer's signature onto your desktop.
Backup software is included, making it easy to protect critical data. The drive is compatible with Windows and Mac systems, without the need for any sort of driver installation: simply plug and play. It features a standard USB 2.0 interface with the LaCie USB Boost system for enhanced performance.
- 3mm of resistant aluminum casing

Comments about LaCie 2TB Starck Desktop Hard Drive:
I use the product for extra storage. I am a photographer and filmmaker and I can never have enough space. So far so good. Very easy to set-up. Only had it for about 2 weeks, but everyone I know that has Lacie is content with the purchase. The only problem I have had so far is that the drive opens new windows for every folder I open. I don't like this because it gets crowded and confusing.

Comments about LaCie 2TB Starck Desktop Hard Drive:
This is my second Starck hard drive, I own the 1TB version as well. I use one for Time Machine and this one was purchased to store all my photos and videos. I just love the simple solid aluminium design by Starck. I also love the fact that it's super quiet.

I use this to store all my data and a 1TB unit for backups.
Plug them in, config the included backup s/w and that's it.
A super value.

Comments about LaCie 2TB Starck Desktop Hard Drive:
I wanted a no-frills backup device for my iMac photos. This fits the bills. Plug it in and it works! Only tiny annoyance is the disk doesn't spin down immediately when I put the iMac to sleep.
