Today LaCie, the premium brand of Seagate Technology plc
(NASDAQ: STX), announced the addition of USB-C technology to its
Porsche Design Mobile Drive. This product combines the ease of use
of USB-C with the proven speed, style and durability of the LaCie
Porsche Design line, making it the perfect match for the latest
MacBook®.

The LaCie™ Mobile Drive features a USB-C port — the
user-friendly connector of the future. This new technology makes
the LaCie Mobile Drive incredibly easy to connect, since both ends
of the cable are identical and the connector is reversible. As a
result, there is no need to worry about which end goes to which
device or about plugging it in upside down.
The LaCie Mobile Drive blends form and function, resulting in a
product that looks and works great. Its USB 3.0 interface delivers
up to 100 MB/s*, which lets users quickly back up or exchange
photos and videos with friends. The LaCie Mobile Drive also
features an enclosure made from 3 mm-thick solid aluminum. This
gives users the confidence to slip the product into their laptop
bag and hit the road.
The LaCie Mobile Drive was designed especially for Mac® users.
It features the same stylish, sophisticated aluminum finish as the
latest MacBook. Plus, it is Time Machine® compatible, so Mac users
can use the LaCie Mobile Drive to seamlessly back up files using
built-in software. Thanks to the included adapter cable, it is even
compatible with standard USB 3.0 (Type-A) or USB 2.0 ports.
Since 2003, LaCie and Porsche Design have worked closely to
create products that are technically inspired to deliver flawless
functionality in its purest form. Each company complements the
other, with technical influence from LaCie and an exclusive design
and luxury brand presented by Porsche Design.
WARRANTY
The LaCie Mobile Drive features a two-year limited warranty that
includes comprehensive, complimentary web-based resources, expert
