LaCie Minimus External Hard Drive Review




LaCie Minimus is one of the most compact desktop external hard drive to date. LaCie Minimus has small size, it also runs fast and cool even during heavy loads. LaCie Minimus also has sleek aluminum housing which helps the drive fit on any computer desk. The LaCie Minimus is available on 1TB and 2TB capacities.

The LaCie Minimus measures 4.4 x 1.2 x 6.8 inches, weight 1.87 lbs. OSes supported include Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Mac OS 10.5 or later. Software included LaCie Setup Assistant; LaCie Backup Assistant (PC and Mac), 10GB Wuala Secure Online Storage (1 year included).

The LaCie Minimus USB 3.0 comes in LaCie's typical squarish shape. On the back, it has a Mini-USB 3.0 port, the power port and an on/off switch. On top, at the back, the drive has one blue LED light that shows the power status of the drive and flashes to show the activity of the internal disk.

The LaCie Minimus comes with the drive itself, the power adapter and a Mini-USB 3.0 cable. LaCie Minimus comes with a 100MB temporary partition that contains LaCie Setup Assistant software for both Windows and Macs. The software prompts you to run it the first time you plug the drive into a computer and offers to format the drive into either NTFS or HFS+.

With LaCie Backup Assistant you can back up preselected file types (such as documents, photos, and movies) or the entire folders of your choice. After that, you can make the backup as a copy (be it a full copy, an incremental copy or a mirror) of the original data or compress it into ZIP format. You'll also have the option to encrypt them for security purposes, if you choose to compress the backups.

The LaCie Minimus is a compact 3.5-inch external hard drive that would make a good addition to a desktop computer that already supports USB 3.0. You’ll not be disappointed choose it.
