This external drive for the new Apple MacBook Pro costs more than a MacBook Pro.
It is known that as soon as Apple announces a new device, third parties rush to release compatible accessories and this year nothing changed. From the moment Apple announced the new MacBook Pro yesterday, accessory manufacturers rushed to announce compatible hardware for it. However, a company announced a new external unit for the new MacBook Pro, which incidentally costs more than the MacBook itself.
LaCie has already announced the first Flash 3 external storage unit, the Bolt3. LaCie wants to take advantage of the fact that Apple’s new MacBook Pro has abandoned all ports.
LaCie took just 24 hours to announce its new Bolt3 external drive after Apple announced the new MacBook Pro lineup. The Bolt3 uses a pair of PCIe SSDs for a total of 2TB of storage, and can transfer data at speeds of up to 2800MB/s, making it, according to LaCie, “the world’s fastest desktop .”
The LaCie Bolt3 will cost $ 1999 and will be released sometime in the 4th quarter of the current year. The company's units start at $ 3.199 for the 24 TB 6big Thunderbolt3 and $ 6.399 for a 48TB 12big Thunderbolt 3. In comparison, the new 13 inch MacBook Pro will cost $ 1799, $ 200 less than the base $ 1999 LaCie Bolt3.
For this price, you could purchase a 2TB USB 3.0 hard drive for $ 89, a USB‑C for $ 19, and a second 13‑inch MacBook Pro for $ 1,799 with the remaining money.
