Wanting to produce unique-looking hard drives, LaCie partnered with silversmithing firm Christofle in 2011. This year’s limited edition hard drive comes in the form of a silver sphere aptly called the LaCie Sphere. The 1TB drive looks like a high-end Google Nexus Q with a single USB 3.0 port and a blue status light located at the base. Unveiled at CES, the Sphere is expected to launch during the first quarter of this year at around $490.
