Hard drives don't have to be boring, they should be fun. The creators of the plug & play Lacie Brick had the same thoughts exactly. Much like the LEGO radiator, the hard drive isn't actually LEGO but it's practically a copycat design so that means you can still go around bragging about your LEGO hard drive without anyone calling it an impostor. Lacie Brick might not like the idea of that, but that's irrelevant, you bought it right?
The bricks are available in red, white or blue, in capacities ranging from 160GB to 500GB. Its most excellent feature is the hard drives are stackable - not in a kids pastime kind of way, but in a stackable storage kind of way. Cool, yes? Imagine this, you've just bought a 160GB hard drive, but make the late realisation that's not enough to house all your porn and American sitcoms, so what do you do?
Buy another equally small Lacie Brick hard drive and stack them up to form one big super hard drive, that's what. It's fun, and it rules out having to buy a bigger hard drive when you're ready to upgrade storage size. It's also one way to get away with having LEGO on your desk without having to explain why you have LEGO parading around on your desk.
Prices vary depending on where you go, but expect to pay between £70 and £300. Amazon appears to be the most reasonably priced, so I'd start there.
