LaCie Announces Two Terabyte External Drive

Digital Photography and imaging can result in the need for gazillions of storage space. Well, maybe not quite that much, but how does two terabytes sound?

Lacie, the maker of reliable, high-quality external hard drives unveiled its Ethernet Big Disk back in January with capacities of 640 gigabytes or one terabyte. Now they are doubling this upper limit with the debut of a new two terabyte Ethernet Big Disk.

Shipping at a price of $1,099, the 2TB Big Disk sells at a premium given that MSRP pricing for the 1TB model was $499 (meaning you could expect to get two terabytes for a little under $1000). Still, if you need the capacity in a single unit - for space reasons, for example - pricing looks to be pretty competitive to other existing 2TB network-attached storage devices.

The LaCie 2TB Big Disk is available for preorder immediately, with shipping expected in mid-June.
