Movie-Inspired Hard Drives

The LaCie Blade Runner 4TB is Made for Sci-Fi Lovers and Techies

— January 15, 2013 — Tech
The LaCie Blade Runner 4TB is a slick hard drive made for sci-fi lovers and techies alike. As its name more than suggests, the hard drive was inspired by the Ridley Scott cult classic of the same name.

The creation of renowned designer Philippe Starck, the LaCie Blade Runner 4TB was made to represent the combination of human and machine. As stated in its press release, the "sharp, cage-like enclosure surrounds an almost anthropomorphic, liquid metal interior. This metaphor was inspired by a cyberfuture illustrated in the 1982 movie 'Blade Runner,' and begs the question: just how much control do we have over technology."

With a high-speed USB 3.0 interface, secure cloud storage and automatic eco mode, the LaCie Blade Runner 4TB is a great product to have on hand.
