HD review: LaCie Brick Mobile (120GB Firewire)

iDubai · 10th September 2006, 18:48

I'll have a go at this review, lets see

So, Lacie Brick Mobile is toy to keep next to your shiny skinny PowerBooks. It's a designed product, which looks like a LEGO, + you can stack them over for space saving. Most important, it's small, quite, funky external hard disk. Very conveinent to carry around in long trips + firewire with 120GB is cool, No extra cables no wall plug.

Best part, it costed me 1,430HK$ = 715DHS.

I would give this product 9/10

No it doesn't require an external power source/adapter. The product description says it's "bus powered" meaning it gets its power from the USB port. At least that's my guess...

I've seen this Lego thing attached to a Macbook Pro at EVO, kept wondering what it is, another customer came in and we couldn't tell what it was.

Finally we were told it is a portable HD. Funny piece of hardware

Yup! But USB 2.0 needs two cables, FireWire just plug n play
