Intel’s Light Peak technology, known commercially as Thunderbolt has been confirmed in Apple’s new MacBook Pro series. However, we also mentioned that a few other Intel partners will soon be unveiling Thunderbolt products as well. First one up is La Cie’s announcement today of the LaCie Little Big Disk featuring Thunderbolt technology.
“Thunderbolt technology is a breakthrough in I/O technology and represents the future of mobile computing. Soon you will be able to carry workstation-class power and functionality in compact devices,” said Philippe Spruch, Chairman and General Manager, LaCie. “LaCie is excited to be one of the first to deliver Thunderbolt technology with the LaCie Little Big Disk.”
The Little Big Disk was designed to store large audio and video files and now with the new Thunderbolt technology, data can truly be transferred to and from the device at lightening speeds. This boosts the performance of creative workflows with ultra-fast data transfer, complete system backup in minutes, and faster content editing than ever before.
