Mirror joins a long line of weird LaCie storage devices

Just as mirrors reflect our image, the data we keep reflects our true self. That’s the lofty idea behind LaCie’s newest luxury storage device, an improbable convergence of a USB 3.0-powered 1TB hard disk and Gorilla Glass by French designer Pauline Deltour.

Author Mark Pendergrast said, “As our first technology for self-contemplation, the mirror is arguably as important an invention as the wheel and perhaps even more universal.” Question is: can you handle the truth of what you’ve become?

Are you ready to stare yourself in the eye and cast judgment upon the creep who’d spend so many hours meticulously cataloging his porn collection? Are you prepared to admit to criminal theft and your copyright crimes against Taylor Swift and Seth Rogen? Think about that before you spend $279.99 on this accessory therapist.

Of course, LaCie has a long tradition of working with French fashion houses and designers in a quest to position (and price) products for a luxurious market. Here are a few of our favorites.
