Faster LaCie Pocket CDRW road-warrior

LaCie have announced a faster Pocket CDRW that will burn a full CD virtually anywhere in just four minutes.
Designed with true portability for professionals on the move the drive is shock-protected and does not require a power supply when used with the FireWire port.
Only slightly larger than a personal CD player, the LaCie Pocket CDRW fits in the palm of the hand and weights just over 500 grams. LaCie's U&I dual support provides connectivity with most current and future Mac and PC systems. Whatever the connection, the diminutive 24x10x24x CDRW is hot-pluggable and be up and running in a few seconds.
Unlike most portable CDRW drives, the LaCie Pocket CDRW is host-powered. Laptop owners need nothing more than a FireWire cable to write CDs, meaning the LaCie road-warrior can actually burn on the move. An international power supply can be used with the USB or I-link interface or to help conserve laptop batteries.
The Pocket CDRW is just as fast with USB2.0 as it is with FireWire, both interfaces delivering impressive transfer rates of more than 400 mbps. The Pocket CDRW can easily be shared between users as most of today's computers are fitted with either USB or FireWire ports - or both - with USB 2.0 expected to come as standard on all new PCs from 2002.
USB 2.0, which is 40 times faster than previous USB generations, also offers backward compatibility with USB 1.1 controllers but with a recording speed limited to 4x.
The Pocket CD-RW automatically detects the type of interface it is being used with and configures the connection accordingly.
Designed for users on the move, the Pocket CD-RW is encased in the LaCie's trademark silicon shock absorber that prevents sliding or damage and features a groove to keep cables tidy.
With rewriting capability, the drive also provides an excellent backup solution for notebook computers even when users are out of the office.
The drive is bundled with cables, an A/C adapter, one rewritable disc, one recordable disc and LaCie’s CD Recording Utilities, including Easy CD Creator for Windows 98/2000/Me/XP, Toast for MacOS 9.x/10.x.
The LaCie Pocket CDRW 24x10x24x is available through leading distributors and resellers and carries a two-year warranty.
