January 5, 2010: LaCie’s Rikiki series of hard disk drives claim to be the most compact 2.5-inch portable HDDs currently available.
Measuring 109.7 x 75 x 13.4 mm and weighing only 158 grams, Rikiki drives come in three capacities: 250GB (RRP $99), 500GB (RRP $159) and 640GB (RRP $199). The name ‘Rikiki’ means ‘tiny’ in French and the drive’s compact aluminium casing and small size make it an ideal storage solution for travelling photographers. The USB 2.0 interface provides fast data transfer to Windows or Mac computers and, for Windows users, LaCie Rikiki also offers USB Boost software for enhancing speeds up to 33%. Mac users benefit from Time Machine compatibility.
