Hot on the heels of the new MacBook Pro models with Thunderbolt, LaCie has introduced a dedicated Thunderbolt-compatible external drive. The Little Big Disk should be available this summer and will pack two 250GB Intel 510 Series SSDs that are preconfigured as a Striped RAID Set.
When LaCie showed off a prototype of the Little Big Disk at the Intel Developer Forum last September, it was churning over a 700MB/s constant data transfer rate at the end of a daisy chain that also included a DisplayPort monitor.

The new LaCie MosKeyto is a tiny USB flash-drive with the ability to store up to 16GB of data. Obviously, the size makes the MosKeyto appealing to carry on a key-chain, backpack or purse zipper, or even leave it plugged into the USB port on your computer. It is so small that even if it got snagged on something there is little chance any damage would happen. I generally carry a Lexar, which is quite small, but is probably close to 3 times the size of the MosKeyto. I would definitely have to attach a MosKeyto to something or I would loose it. That said, I like the idea of attaching to a key-chain or leaving it plugged into my laptop’s USB port and not really having to think about it being there until I get ready to use it.
The LaCie MosKeyto is available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB capacities through the LaCie Online Store, LaCie Corner, LaCie Reseller+ starting at $17.99. Additionally, LaCie has integrated an extra 4GB secure online storage from Wuala into the MosKeyto and LaCie Moskeyto offers instant connectivity via USB 2.0 to Windows®, Mac® and Linux platforms.
