LaCie launches 2TB Big Disk Extreme+

LaCie has begun taking orders for the 2TB version of the Big Disk Extreme+, which differs from the basic Big Disk by including FireWire 400 and 800 ports in addition to a USB 2.0 connection. Drives are housed in aluminum alloy casing, and a "smart" fan system adjusts cooling as needed. In common with other LaCie drives, a utlity lets users hit the front blue button to engage a particular program, normally backup software -- EMC Retrospect is included. The 2TB Extreme+ should ship later this month for $850 (website says early August); the company also offers 1TB ($350), and 1.5TB ($600) capacities. [pricing corrected]
