LaCie hasn’t cut any other corners, though. The drive has a single USB-C interface, and includes a USB-C cable, but the low cost means that there are no added extras, such as an adaptor for older Macs that have USB-A (3.2) connectors. It’s smaller and lighter than previous drives from LaCie too, measuring just 10.6mm thick, 50mm wide, and 80mm long, and it weighs a mere 45g, so it’s ideal for carrying around with your MacBook or iPad when you’re travelling. Rather than the sharply angular corners and edges of its predecessor, the compact Portable SSD has smoothly round corners – perhaps following Apple’s recent fetish for rounded corners on icons in Big Sur and Monterey. However, LaCie has also released this new Portable SSD as a less expensive alternative for people who don’t need James Bond levels of security.Īvailable with 500GB, 1TB or 2TB of storage, the Portable SSD has a new design too. The LaCie Mobile SSD that we reviewed last year isn’t available anymore – although there is a new model called the Mobile SSD Secure coming soon, which provides additional security and data-encryption features for professional users.
