LaCie and Symwave announce new USB 3.0 4TB external HD

Yes, you read that right; this baby can be as large as 4TB’s. Now, how many people really need 4TB’s of external storage, I’m not sure. But if you do, it’s there. This new external is a new dual-drive 2Big USB 3.0 RAID drive developed by LaCie in partnership with Symwave.

And another thing, this drive has transfer speeds of up to 275MB/s because of the new USB 3.0 hardware, and the new dual SATA and RAID bridge controller developed by Symwave. Things are just getting faster and faster these days. 275MB a second… thats a GB about every four seconds. I hope this becomes pretty standard. As an American, I really dislike waiting on things that should be instant (at least in our heads they should be).

Sadly, no price or release date have been announced other then in 2010. But, they say that they will be showing this off at CES in January. Maybe we’ll learn how much we can’t afford this by then.
