La Cie Little Disk 320 GB Review

Users were impressed with the style of the La Cie Little Disk, particularly the retractable, hide-away USB cord. Experts at Laptop Magazine and PC World cited that retractable USB cord as the main attraction for this hard drive. Users at Amazon concurred, with one user noting that the retractable USB cord was the reason why they bought this model.

On the downside, an expert reviewer at Cnet noted that the La Cie Little Disk is a bit slower than some of the competition, and users at Amazon pointed out that Mac users will need to reformat this hard drive to use it with their Macs. In addition, an expert reviewer at PC Authority gave the Little Disk mixed reviews, citing inconsistent performance and less value for your money than with other hard drives.

The La Cie Little Disk is a small, compact hard drive with a retractable USB cord and a removable protective cap. The Little Disk comes in two versions: on version has only a standard USB 2.0 port; the other slightly more expensive version also includes Firewire port. It also comes with synchronization and encryption software. The Little Disk runs on both PCs and Macs (though you will need to reformat it to operate with a Mac).

While you might be able to get a more storage space for your money with another model, if the retractable, hideaway USB cord is a big plus for you, than the La Cie Little Disk is a good choice.
