External drives don't get much fancier than this. Behold the LaCie Chrome, a $1,100 external SSD designed by Neil Poulton, who has collaborated with the company for a number of years now. LaCie describes it as a "trophy for tech connoisseurs." To me, it's a trophy that says you spent way too much money on an external drive. But at least you get blazing SSD read and write speeds for that investment; LaCie says the Chrome, which pairs two 500GB SSDs together in a RAID 0 configuration, tops out at 940MB/s.
