Lacie Porsche P’9220 runs on USB 3.0, protected by 3mm of aluminum

P9220 500GB = PHP 5,490.00
P9220 1TB = PHP 8,890.00

If you haven’t taken a sip from the Thunderbolt kool-aid and still believe in good old USB 3.0, have a look at this beauty, Lacie P’9220 available in both 500GB and 1TB. Lacie is known to be the most elegant in design among the storage manufacturers. This one is no exception.

For those who want a speed comparison between the “standard” USB 2.0, relatively new USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt, here you go:

USB 2.0 = 35MB to 40MB per second
USB 3.0 = 400MB to 700MB per second
Thunderbolt = 1GB per second

Although slightly slower than Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 is still amazingly fast and slightly more affordable. That’s essentially transferring a standard 8GB HD video in about 10-15 seconds.
