Raid 0 with Thunderbolt.. what an ingenious idea..

 

[jasonelmore]

It's the first device (non apple) to use PCI Express Storage. These Lacie units come with SSD's already installed. Expect prices to be anywhere from $1500 to $2000 since it has 2X 512GB Samsung SSD's in them.

Well no derp two SSDs in RAID 0 will get you fast speeds... but pricing?

 

[Morbus]

I don't expect it to be bellow 1000USD.

 

[iam2thecrowe]

worlds fastest, and worlds most expensive

 

[araczynski]

so how many 4k movies will fit on 500gb? maybe 4?

 

[Au_equus]

One 512GB Samsung pro is $400. Anything above $1000 is not worth it.

One 512GB Samsung pro is $400. Anything above $1000 is not worth it.

Not worth it for you. You could just as well say that a 500GB Seagate is $60 and anything above $100 is not worth it.
This thing is twice the speed of the 512GB Samsung Pro, it's ready-built and looks nice. If that's what you want, nothing else is worth it.

It's like saying that a fancy watch is not worth it, because a 1$ watch will do just the same... Well...

If I do have my say, though, anything portable that costs more than 100$ is not worth it. But that's me, who don't need portable and earn 800$ a month...

Well, at least it won't likely overheat like many of their small hard drive casings do.
