December 15, 2009 By Dena Cassella

LaCie reveals its most compact hard drive yet, the LaCie Rikiki.

Look closely, look very closely—do you see it? Wait, wait put a really adorable monkey on it—perfect. LaCie introduced its smallest hard drive yet, the LaCie Rikiki, and to make sure you don’t pass it over they put a really cute primate on it to catch your eye. The LaCie Rikiki measures in at a mere 110cm³ and can store up to 640GB of media. This ultra compact drive is encased in sturdy aluminum, features USB Boost software and is compatible with a PC or a Mac.

“We are part of a generation that wants more from our electronics, but in the smallest form factor possible, and with a competitive price,” said Anne-Sophie Marchand, Consumer Product Manager. “With the LaCie Rikiki, we have done just that by fitting high-performance and high-capacity in the palm of your hand, for under $100.”

The LaCie Rikiki will be available in 250GB, 500GB, and 640GB capacities through the LaCie Online Store, LaCie Reseller+, and LaCie Corner, starting at the suggested retail price of $74.99. Monkey is not included.

Dena C. at 5:12pm 15th December 2009 oh my god you are so right! that monkey totally looks like Gizmo from Gremlins-- do not feed it after midnight. I know, LaCie always makes classy looking stuff, even if it doesn't need to look like that LaCie goes for it...
dang at 5:09pm 15th December 2009 That monkey looks like a gremlin. The HD is pretty cool looking though. Black anodized aluminum always has a warm place in my heart.
