In an Amsterdam hotel room, a LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme stands upright next to Danny`s laptop as he and Rusty Ryan plan their first heist. In subsequent warehouse planning scenes, it`s hard to miss the glowing blue lights synonymous with LaCie hard drives appearing behind the Ocean`s Twelve gang.
"LaCie is pleased to be featured in this film," says Olivier Mirloup, LaCie Senior Product Manager. "Our goal is to combine powerful technology with unique designs by internationally acclaimed artists-a perfect fit for the Ocean`s Twelve set."
Today the Bigger Disk Extreme drive featured in the Ocean`s Twelve film gets a boost in capacity to 2TB, sustaining its lead as the largest capacity drive with the smallest form factor available. A true plug-and-play device, the LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme has a built-in RAID 0 configuration that allows for instant high-speed data transfers of up to 85MBps and immediate large-scale backup without the need for complicated setup. A smart fan system, improved heat dissipation, and automatic on/off feature prolongs performance and drive reliability.
LaCie Bigger Disk Extremes are hot-pluggable for file sharing among FireWire 800/400 and iLink/DV workstations. No drivers or software installation is required for those using Windows XP/2000, or Mac OS X operating systems. The included drive stand provides stability and allows for upright desktop use to save valuable desk space, while an optional rack-mounting kit enables placement in standard 19-inch racks.
Bigger Disk Extreme 2TB drives will be available spring 2005 at the suggested retail price of $2 299. For more information, please visit www.lacie.com.
