Dock 4 SuperSpeed Storage Drives with LaCie Hub4 USB 3.0


LaCie knows how important data transfer speed of up to 5Gb/s is to computer and laptop users. And so, the company has decided to offer users a compatible USB 3.0 hub with their newest product – the LaCie Hub4 USB 3.0.


Combining performance, flexibility, and compatibility, the Lacie Hub4 USB 3.0 offers users 4 superSpeed storage drives, allowing them to enjoy data transfer speed up to 5Gb/s when connected to a USB 3.0-equipped computer on one side and to a USB 3.0 storage solution on the other. But of course, it’s also backwards-compatible with USB 2.0 storage solutions, so it’s guaranteed to work with almost all laptops, computers, and even netbooks. Take note, however, that with USB 2.0, transfer speed is only capped at 480Mb/s. Also, users have to note that this OS will work with the latest versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 / Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6 (USB 2.0 only) and requires an external adapter in order to work. Quite an inconvenience, since some USB 3.0 connectors do not require one. But that’s only for now because for sure, LaCie will improve this in future models.

Now, when it comes to portability, users will definitely find this easy to carry around since it only weighs 1.9 ounces. Plus, with its size measuring only 2.8 x 4.6 x 1 inches, this will only take a minimum amount of space around anyone’s desk.

Official Press Release
Extending its innovation in the 1.8” hard disk drive (HDD) category, Toshiba Storage Device Division announces the industry’s first 1.8” drives with low-insertion force (LIF) SATA (Serial ATA) connectors, enabling a 10% smaller footprint compared to standard 1.8” drives using microSATA connectors. Developed for use in multiple devices, including tablets, consumer electronics devices and external HDDs, the new MKxx39GSL series offers three models, at 160GB (MK1639GSL), 200GB (MK2039GSL) and 220GB (MK2239GSL) capacities. The MK2239GSL features the largest capacity 1.8” single-platter HDD (5mmH) available. The MK2239GSL, MK2039GSL, and the MK1639GSL are designed for the most demanding mobile computing applications, surpassing 2.5” HDDs in terms of vibration robustness, low power consumption, and quiet operation. Samples will be available for customer qualification in February.

“Designers of next-generation consumer electronics, tablets, and mobile devices need disk drives that will stand up to the demands of day-to-day usage in a world increasingly defined by mobility and connectivity to all forms of content. These newest members of our 1.8”

“These new drives build on Toshiba’s history of innovation and leadership in the 1.8” drive segment,” said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of mobile marketing at Toshiba Storage Device Division. “Designers of next-generation consumer electronics, tablets, and mobile devices need disk drives that will stand up to the demands of day-to-day usage in a world increasingly defined by mobility and connectivity to all forms of content. These newest members of our 1.8” family are designed to meet those demands.”

The MKxx39GSL family is designed for applications requiring not only the smaller, lighter footprint of 1.8” drives, but also the highest possible storage capacities. Both feature a 16MB buffer for improved performance. The drives are capable of withstanding the demands of mobility usage, tolerating up to 1,500Gs of non-operational shock and 600Gs of operational shock, compared to 900G of non-operational shock and 400G of operational shock for the most robust 2.5-inch HDDs currently available. The drives are also exceptionally quiet, operating at 14dB at idle and 15dB at seek, and require only 0.35 Watts of power at low power idle, the smallest power consumption levels for any SATA drive. All of this performance is delivered in a form factor of just 48g/5x54x71mm.

Toshiba has pioneered the development and advancement of 1.8” drives, starting with the industry’s first volume 1.8” drives in 2000. Industry analyst firm IDC reported that Toshiba shipped more than 92% of all 1.8” drives on a global basis in the third quarter of 2010.

“The proliferation of devices targeted at media-savvy and media-hungry consumers and businesses have been a major factor in the continued demand for higher-capacity mobile hard disk drives,” said John Rydning, research director, IDC. “Regardless of the device, customers expect to be able to store and access their favorite content, applications, and key data wherever they are.”
