Just because you're a road warrior doesn't mean you have
to skimp on hard-drive space. If your laptop can't handle
memory-sensitive applications, try the PocketDrive by LaCie.
Measuring only 3.5 inches by 5.75 inches and weighing less than one
pound, the PocketDrive offers mobility in addition to 18GB of
hard-drive space. LaCie's new drive is not only one of the
world's smallest hard drives-it's also the first
peripheral to offer both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) support.
Designed with true plug-and-play capabilities, the FireWire and USB
buses make the LaCie drive hot-swappable. Adding to its
versatility, the drive includes a small international power-supply
adaptor for use worldwide. The software package includes
LaCie's Silverlining Pro drive utility software for MacOS
environments; Silverlining 98 is included for Windows 98SE (Second
Edition) and Windows 2000 environments.
