La Cie Shows 6 and 18 GB PocketDrives

The new 6GB and 18GB PocketDrive hard drives unveiled by LaCie at MACWORLD/Expo San Francisco measure only 3.5" x 5.75" and weighing less than a pound, LaCie's new drives are not only some of the world's smallest hard drives, they're the first peripherals to offer both Universal Serial Bus (USB) and FireWire (IEEE 1394) support, or "U&I" (LaCie's acronym and trademark for the dual-support capability). With the unique combination of features these versatile drives provide, users have an easy means of expanding the storage capacity of USB-equipped computers such as Apple iMac and G3 computers, and FireWire systems such as the most recent Macintosh G4 workstations, and the new iMacDV systems as well as and Windows 98SE and 2000 PCs. In addition, users can quickly share the contents of the entire drive with others. The capacity and performance of the new LaCie hard drives also make them ideal for full backups of an internal drive, including a bootable operating system.
