LaCie Announces Thinner, Faster Porsche Design Drive

This week, LaCie, together with Porsche Design, announced the P’9223 Slim SSD. This product is the latest extension of the Porsche Design portfolio and the fastest LaCie USB hard drive to date. It combines USB 3.0 speeds with an optional SSD to maximise performance, and its sleek form factor echoes the aluminium exterior of Apple’s MacBook Pro® and MacBook Air®.

Designed with Apple® enthusiasts in mind, the LaCie P’9223 Slim SSD version is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The 400MB/s transfer speed and bus-powered USB 3.0 interface allow a photographer to move large photo files in no time while in the field. Thanks to UAS* support, this product gets even better speeds on the latest MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or MacBook Pro with Retina Display running the most recent version of OS X® Lion or Mountain Lion.

The LaCie P’9223 Slim is the slimmest 2.5-inch storage device from LaCie – 30 percent slimmer than the previous edition. The slim design, sturdy aluminium and SSD technology easily allows creative professionals to slip the drive in a laptop bag without worrying about damaging their design projects during accidental drops.

Since 2003, LaCie and Porsche Design have worked closely to deliver products that are technically inspired, delivering flawless functionality in its purest form. Each company complements the other, with technical influence from LaCie, together with an exclusive design and luxury brand presented by Porsche Design.

The Porsche Design Slim P’9223 is available in 120GB SSD and 500GB HDD through the LaCie Online Store and LaCie Partners starting at £79.99. For more product information, visit www.lacie.com/uk.
