Porsche Design Form, LaCie Function
Out of a collaboration born in 2003, a trailblazing tech firm and an iconic design house have forged another functional showpiece. The LaCie Porsche Design Desktop Drive welds forward-thinking technology from LaCie with immaculate style from Porsche Design.
USB-C: Not Just New. The Future.
Thanks to USB-C, the LaCie Porsche Design Desktop Drive works with any computer — the one you own and the one you might have on your wish list.
Next-Generation USB-C Computers
No up/down or left/right orientation means there’s no wrong way to connect the USB-C cable.
Any PC/Mac with USB 3.0
Connect to any existing computer using the included USB-C to USB adapter cable.
Fast Transfer Speeds
With 5 Gb/s speeds, you can drag and drop files and perform backups quickly.
Charge Up & Back Up
More than just data storage. By harnessing the power of USB 3.1, the LaCie Porsche Design Desktop Drive actually charges your USB-C laptop's battery. With a single USB-C cable, you can power your notebook and access your drive at the same time. One connection, dual benefits.
Visual Purity, Purely Useful
The LaCie Porsche Design Desktop Drive's unique, minimalist style reflects practical design. The all-aluminum enclosure is lightweight but also feels sturdy and substantial in your hands. Rounded corners, high-polish beveled edges, and a sandblast finish combine to form the distinctly Porsche Design contemporary style.
