Small enough to fit into your front pocket yet can hold some 150+ full DVD’s worth of data, LaCie has introduced their smallest external hard drive, the LaCie Rikiki.

LaCie introduced the most compact 2.5″ hard drive on the market – LaCie Rikiki, in metal. Measuring just a mere 110cm³, its sophisticated form factor holds up to 640GB of media that you won’t mind storing in a pocket or purse.

Encased in brushed, sturdy aluminum, the LaCie Rikiki, which means “tiny” in French, represents a resilient aesthetic that protects your media from everyday blunders and unwelcome fingerprints. Its lightweight design makes it a perfect companion for keeping your digital world close at hand.

“We are part of a generation that wants more from our electronics, but in the smallest form factor possible, and with a competitive price,” said Anne-Sophie Marchand, Consumer Product Manager. “With the LaCie Rikiki, we have done just that by fitting high-performance and high-capacity in the palm of your hand, for under $100.”

Odd name aside, the LaCie Rikiki starts at $74.99 and is available at LaCie.com [ site here ] and LaCie resellers very soon.
