LaCie Starck Desktop Hard Drive:
LaCie Starck desktop HDD is a lesson in creativity and functionality going hand in hand. The chassis sports a smoothly curved aluminum casing marked by a signature LED, courtesy of designer Philippe Starck himself. The light flashes orange or green depending on the different activities being performed by the device. The robust exterior is devised to protect the HDD from overheating as well as shock. This USB 2.0 enabled drive is suitable for the average PC or Mac. Pre-installed software includes LaCie Backup Assistant and LaCie Desktop Manager for user-friendly customization, configuration and back up of the drive. The desktop storage device comes in colossal memory capacities of 1TB and 2TB at US$129.99 and US$249.99, respectively.A-Data SH93 HDD:
A-Data Technology’s portable HDD SH93 comes first in the list of handy storage devices. The MIL-STD-810F drop tests and 1M waterproof tests it has undergone prove its resilience. The ESP of this device lies in its waterproof and shock resistant attributes that claim to prevent data loss if it is exposed to water or dropped accidentally. The SH93 is colored bright racing car yellow and comes in capacities of 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB. A unique rubber-plastic mix and cushioning components are included in the manufacture of this HDD. There have been no mentions about the pricing details of the device.Seagate Self Encrypting Drive:
Seagate has come a long way since they first developed the 5.25 inch ST506 which was the world’s first microcomputer compatible HDD. Their most recent offering is the enterprise-class line of SEDs built for optimized data-at-rest security. The company uncovered the Self-Encrypting Drives to provide security against data leaks to organizations dealing with confidential client information like those in insurance, banking and healthcare. Each Secure SED is embedded with an Intel Server Board S5520HC and Intel RAID Controller RS2BL080. These enterprise-class HDDs are notable for the data-at-rest security they offer. The encryption key can be safeguarded in the drive itself, while unauthorized persons are blocked off from data access. The problem of bottlenecks does not come up in this device since the encryption system moves at the same pace as the host drive and scales linearly. The devices on offer are the Savvio 15K.2, Savvio 10K.3, Constellation and Cheetah 15K.7 drives. Pricing information on these drives is not clear.OCZ m84 SSD:
For hardcore computer users, OCZ has included another product in its Z-Drive line, the m84 PCIe SSD.

The SSD boasts of being a bootable internal RAID 0 configured storage drive with a speedy PCIe interface and MLC NAND. The drive comes in memory capacities of 256GB, 512GB and 1TB. The 256GB m84 has read and write speeds of 750MB/s and 650MB/s, respectively.

The Mini Cooper USB from ZeroBasic makes it to the list for its soon-to-be-released special edition line. The company plans to unleash the celebratory edition in honor of its namesake’s fiftieth birthday. ZeroBasic will manufacture 2000 of these commemorative pieces. The chassis will have the Union Jack and a ‘50’ painted onto it. The device’s USB plug is retractable and fits cozily into the trunk of the miniature car body.
