LaCie Ships a New Slim External Blu-ray Burner
Mon Dec 13, 2010 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Lacie, Blu-ray Burners (all tags)
The USB 2.0 toting player comes in at $265.
Blu-ray burners just haven't taken off the way CD and DVD burners did. There's still a crop of people who love their disc backups and burns, and those other folks that put them to less legitimate purposes. Whatever your reason for owning it, LaCie's new external burner is available now.
It's not the fastest thing in the world, burning Blu-rays at 6X speeds and dual-layer disc at 4X, but it does the trick. It uses USB 2.0 technology, so you won't have to worry about having the latest and greatest computer to use it - your laptop or netbook should work just fine.

LaCie LaCinema Classic HD 1TB Media Player
Wed Nov 25, 2009 at 04:00 PM ETTags: Lacie (all tags)
LaCie recently introduced the LaCinema Classic HD media player to their lineup. With a full terabyte of storage, the $250 price is looking pretty good.
Networked media players, media streamers, whatever you want to call them, they’re being produced at an increasing rate. It seems like every company with a few extra bucks to spare is throwing these together at the lowest price point they can.
LaCie’s LaCinema classic takes a bit of a different tact. To start with, it might be the only media streaming set-top that actually looks like a nice piece of hardware. It’s black, it’s shiny, and it’s got a nice little LED underglow. It’s just plain impressive.
It’s also reasonably priced, which is unusual for streaming devices with built in storage. While the terabyte hard drive certainly adds to the cost, a price of $250 isn’t at all unreasonable for the components.
Media can be played from an attached USB storage device or from any networked source. While LaCie’s media player doesn’t offer any online streaming services, it does feature an impressively full set of supported codecs.
On the video side, the LaCinema HD handles AVI, MP4, MKV, DivX, DAT, MOV, MPEG, VOB and several others including ISO. Audio formats including MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, OGG and FLAC can be played back on the LaCinema HD, as well as JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP and TIFF images.
At $250, the LaCinema HD is currently sold out from LaCie but is available through any authorized reseller.

And it’s tough too - LaCie’s LaCinema Rugged HD
With 500 GB of built in storage and an easy to use interface, the LaCinema is the first Mobile HD multimedia player. LaCie looks to make consumers forget the lukewarm reviews of their previous offering by improving upon designs, features and most notably, video quality.
The LaCinema Rugged HD supports most standard and high definition video formats and is compatible with both PCs and Macs. It connects to HD monitors through an HDMI cable and is capable of playing at full 1080p HD.
Featuring a scratch resistant aluminum case and internal shock absorber, not only is it built to display great video, it’s apparently ready to take a beating as well. Shipping at a price of $349.99, we’ll certainly be looking forward to what reviewers have to say.
