USB 3.1 GEN 2 SPEEDS
To maximize the USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gb/s potential, the LaCie
Chromé features a pair of 500 GB M.2 SATA SSDs in RAID 0. Working
together, these components deliver speeds of up to 940 MB/s* to
handle serious, bandwidth-intensive applications. This performance
lets users ingest two hours of 4K GoPro® footage in a little over
one minute**, makes architectural and 3D modeling tasks smoother
and faster, and enables the editing of hi-res video without first
needing to convert footage to a lower resolution.
NEW USB-C CONNECTOR
The new USB-C connector also makes the drive incredibly easy to
connect to a computer. Both ends are exactly the same and have no
up/down or left/right orientation, so there is no wrong way to
connect the USB-C cable. Plus, it is compatible with standard USB
3.0 (Type-A) ports thanks to the included adapter cable.
DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON
This signature device has been designed in collaboration with
acclaimed industrial designer Neil Poulton to bring uncommon
sophistication to a workspace. The elevated form is an homage to a
1935 bronze statue from Constantin Brâncuși, one of the most
influential sculptors of the 20th century.
Once machined, the enclosure is hand assembled, then chromed to
a mirror polish. Forged from solid chromed zinc, the stand securely
docks the product with powerful neodymium magnets — and detaches
for easy transport.
“The LaCie Chromé is a concept reduced to its essence: a
rectangle tilted onto its corner, melting into its base like
quicksilver,” said Neil Poulton, Chromé designer.
The LaCie Chromé is engineered for the long term — from the
enclosure to the internal components — to endure intensive storage
tasks. Its unique, all-aluminum enclosure is lightweight yet
sturdy, with each product individually machined from solid aluminum
blocks for rigid durability and heat dissipation. Since effective
cooling ensures long-term component health, the LaCie Chromé
features a blower that introduces cool air and a heat sink that
draws hot air away from the SSDs.
The LaCie Chromé features a two-year limited warranty that can
also be extended and upgraded. The included limited warranty
provides comprehensive, complimentary web-based resources, expert
in-house technical support and worldwide repair and/or replacement
coverage.
The LaCie Chromé comes in a 1 TB capacity (MSRP $1,100.00) and
will be available as early as this quarter through the LaCie Online
Store and LaCie Resellers.
LaCie, the premium brand from Seagate Technology, designs
