Highlights

• LaCie Mobile Drive and Mobile SSD come in diamond-cut metal bodies
• Mobile SSD boasts read speeds of up to 540Mbps
• Mobile Drive has a 5TB storage variant

Seagate-owned LaCie has a new range of portable drives that were unveiled at this year's CES, looking to deliver on style as well as added functionality. The LaCie Mobile Drive (shown above) has a chiselled 'diamond cut' metal design that frankly looks pretty good. There's a boost in storage capacity as well, as this portable drive comes in storage capacities of up to 5TB. LaCie also showed off its brand new Mobile SSD that boasts read speeds of up to 540Mbps.
LaCie had earlier launched a similarly specced Mobile SSD, as we had reported a couple of months back, but this CES it comes in a new design with the same diamond-cut design (as seen below) as the Mobile Drive. As we mentioned earlier, the Mobile SSD dishes out speeds of up to 540Mbps, and also offers capacities of up to 2TB. These kind of speeds will help creative users significantly when using the drive as a scratch disk for heavy editing.
