LaCie 301461KUA LaCinema Rugged Multimedia Hard Disk Drive 500GB

Hard Drives are for more than mere data. With audio/video off the web, Computer Storage is transitioning toward more multimedia with standard and High-Definition capabilities. LaCie LaCinema drives takes the transition further. You can use these drives to play audio/video through your TV or Home-theater system.
With the new LaCinema Rugged, you’ll be able to access and enjoy your files on any television. You can watch television shows and movies, listen to music, and create photo slideshows to share with your friends and family. Created for LaCie by world-famous industrial designer Neil Poulton, the LaCinema Rugged goes beyond ordinary multimedia hard disks with its sophisticated all-terrain design. It features HDMI upscaling, allowing you to watch movies and television programs on your HD TV, or even enjoy your photos in full HD resolution. You’re free to take your media with you with the LaCinema Rugged; its unique varnished, scratch-protected aluminum shell and shock-resistant rubber sleeve make it especially resistant to harsh elements for extra protection wherever you go. With a smart and simple User interface, as well as a convenient remote control, the LaCinema Rugged is both practical and user-friendly. By connecting it to your computer via USB, you can store your multimedia files, then access them later through any television.
