While Freecom is attempting to attract the security conscious with its external hard drive controlled by an RFID card, LaCie is targeting the mobile movie lover with its latest drive.

In terms of storage you get 500GB and there doesn’t seem to be any option to increase that size with other models. The drive does have another feature that makes it very attractive to users who want to watch movies and in HD. That feature is a HDMI connection meaning you can plug it directly into the back of a TV and start watching content at 1080p. It can playback anything in H.264, MKV, WMV9, or MPEG-4 formats and LaCie believe the drive will hold 700 movies.
