Now that Apple’s new 12-inch MacBook is out, the mad dash is
on among peripheral makers to create fancy new accessories to match the fanless,
USB Type-C-loaded laptop.</p><p>
On Tuesday, LaCie announced an update to its Porsche Design Mobile Drive line. The Seagate-owned storage maker announced the portable hard drives will soon come with a USB Type-C connector. The new drives will be available in 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB capacities and are expected to go on sale before the end of June.</p><p>
One thing the drives won’t have is USB 3.1—the blazing fast, next-gen version of USB that promises up to 10Gbps data transfer speeds. Instead, the drives will come with USB 3.0 interfaces and maximum transfer speeds of 100MB/s.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2895037/lacie-announces-usb-type-c-mobile-drives-to-match-apples-12-inch-macbook.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
