LaCie har en förkärlek för extern lagringsenheter och när man nu uppdaterat sitt utbud med av Blu-ray brännare är det givetvis en extern modell man stoltserar med. LaCie d2 är en kombinerad BD och DVD brännare som kan bränna BD-R media med hela 8x hastighet. Faktum är att det är så snabbt att USB2.0 gränssnittet inte hänger med riktigt, vill man dra nytta av dess fylla hastighet är det Firewire som gäller. Enheten väntas kosta drygt 4000 kronor i handeln.

  • Store up to 50GB of videos, files and other data on one disc

Today LaCie announced that it has doubled the speed at which its high-performance, large-capacity LaCie d2 Blu-ray Drive burns discs to eight times (8x) standard data writing rates. The increased speed to burn files applies to both single and dual-layer discs. LaCie also has upgraded the authoring and backup software that ships standard with the product.



The LaCie d2 Blu-ray Drive packs up to 50 GB of data, or four hours of high-definition video, on a single Blu-ray disc – making it an ideal tool for video professionals and anyone who wants to backup and store significant amounts of data on reliable removable media. It sports both FireWire and USB 2.0 interfaces for high-speed throughput between the drive and a PC or Mac.

With the tools customers can also schedule backups for data files, edit videos, create audio mixes and much more.
