Sweet little CooKey and WhizKey
LaCie is a rather interesting company, not due to its tech
prowess, but thanks to its love of good design. Over the years LaCie
contracted several top notch design teams for its products, including
Porsche. The new CooKey was designed by 5.5 designers, and kudos to
them.
The all-metal CooKey is a rather pricey device, as it costs about twice
as much as a regular drive. Performance is not impressive, but that's
really beside the point. The outfit has been flogging key shaped USB
drives for ages and we think they're among the best looking drives out
there. Prices start at €19 for a 4GB unit, while the 32GB version will
set you back a saucy €99. Expensive? Sure, but they just look like
they're worth it.
In addition to the CooKey, LaCie also launched the alcoholic friendly WhizKey, which is
reminiscent of the old itsaKey, pictured left. It also offers the
imaKey, seen on the right.
