I’ve been holding off from portable USB storage for some reason. Maybe it had to do with how un-portable many of these things are.
Well, La Cie has recently released the 8Gb Carte Orange external USB drive. It’s the size of a credit card and 6mm thin. That’s, what? A quarter of an inch I think.
Plug and Play, USB 2.0 and all that. It’s $150, shipping in November and it’s available for pre-order at LaCie’s website. Story VIA New Launches.
Google is fricking awesome. 6 millimeters = 0.236220472 inches
This seems less portable than the USB drives common today. I thik it stands out for its large capacity though.
Seems portable enough to me. I’d be happier if it were more capacious, but for the price I shan’t complain.
[…] Siempre estamos buscando llevar la mayor cantidad de datos en el menor espacio posible para hacer nuestra vida más cómoda, entonces nada mejor que llevar esta memoria usb del tamaño de una tarjeta de crédito. La “Carte Orange” (compatible con Windows y con Macintosh) que nos ofrece Lacie viene con una capacidad de 8 GB, pesa 60 gramos y mide 6 milímetros de espesor. Con tal cantidad de memoria podemos llevar con nosotros aproximadamente unas 2.000 canciones en Mp3, 8.000/9.000 fotos, incalculables documentos de Word o Excel o varias películas en formato DivX.
