LaCie (pronounced Lah-See, for 'The Company') is an American- French computer hardware company specializing in external hard drives, RAID arrays, optical drives, Flash Drives, and computer monitors. The company markets several lines of hard drives with a capacity of up to many terabytes of data, with a choice of interfaces (FireWire 400, FireWire 800, eSATA, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt, and Ethernet). LaCie also has a series of mobile bus-powered hard drives.

LaCie's computer display product line is targeted specifically to graphics professionals, with an emphasis on color matching.

Company history[edit]

LaCie began life as two separate computer storage companies: in 1989 as électronique d2 in Paris, France, and in 1987 as LaCie in Tigard, Oregon (later Portland, Oregon), USA.

In 1995, électronique d2 acquired La Cie, and later adopted the name 'LaCie' for all of its operations. At the early founding stages of both companies, both focused their businesses on IT storage solutions, based on the SCSI interface standard for connecting external devices to computers. SCSI was adopted by Apple Computer as its main peripheral interface standard and the market for both LaCie and d2 became closely, but not exclusively, associated with the Macintosh platform.

In Europe, the French company électronique d2 was founded in 1989 by Pierre Fournier and Philippe Spruch, working from their apartment in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. d2's main activity was assembling hard drives in external SCSI casings and selling them as peripheral devices.

By 1990, the company had outgrown its small beginnings and moved to new 900 square meter premises in rue Watt, also in Paris. By this stage, designing casings was no longer sufficient for d2 to maintain a competitive edge, and so the company began to develop its own products and invest in R&D. d2 began to open subsidiaries around Europe, the first in London in 1991, followed by offices in Brussels and Copenhagen. The company began to expand its business beyond the Mac market and target PC users. In 1995, électronique d2 acquired the US company La Cie, a subsidiary of Quantum. LaCie was operating in the same market niche as électronique d2, and the buyout gave d2 a foothold into the North American market. In 1998, it was decided to adopt the name LaCie as a worldwide brand, dropping the d2 name from its product range (although even today, several products still retain reference to it).

In the United States, La Cie, Ltd. (La Cie) was founded in July 1987 in Tigard, Oregon, USA. Joel Kamerman, his parents Robert and Tudy Kamerman, and Roger Bates founded La Cie. Joel Kamerman was La Cie's president and general manager from July 1987 through January 1997.

Joel Kamerman founded La Cie on three principles:

• Profit was more important than revenue

• Product differentiation would create profit

• Vertical integration was key to La Cie's long term viability

La Cie's objective was to create premier products and differentiate the company through industrial design and value added software.

In the US, La Cie was acquired by Plus Development, a subsidiary of the storage manufacturer Quantum in December 1990.^[1] As a subsidiary of Quantum, La Cie was licensed as the exclusive manufacturer of Apple-branded external SCSI hard drives, using Quantum hard disks. Joel Kamerman and Scott Phillips negotiated the deal between Apple Computer and La Cie. After the 1995 acquisition of La Cie by électronique d2, company management was headed by Philippe Spruch, who continues to head the combined company as of December 2013.

Seagate Technology announced in March 2012 it would purchase LaCie for $186 million, with the transaction expected to close in 2014.^[2] In August 2013, the US headquarters were moved back to Tigard.^[2]

Designers[edit]

During the 1980s, little attention was paid to design aesthetic of computers and peripherals to it.

Design – if any – was minimalistic, and tended towards beige metal boxes with no frills.

Because d2's original target market was Apple Macintosh users – many who tended to work in creative, artistic professions – such as designers, printers, digital video artists, etc., d2 tailored its products much more carefully – by offering 'designer drives' to satisfy the tastes of these 'content creators' than other manufacturers were doing.

Prior to the électronique d2 buyout in 1995, Ziba Design, in Portland Oregon, designed the majority of LaCie's products, including the award winning Joule tower, the Cirrus and the Tsunami drive. By 1995 LaCie had won awards for industrial design for every external storage product they introduced.

In Paris, France, électronique d2 began to make a name for itself as early as 1991 by hiring designers like Philippe Starck and Neil Poulton. The emphasis was on ergonomics, distinctive moulding and some radically different designs.

The French designer Philippe Starck designed three products for the company: 'K1', 'Apollo' and 'Tokyo'. These three 'toaster' drives were manufactured in gravity-cast, hand polished aluminium and gained their nickname because of a passing resemblance to 1950s chrome toasters. Neil Poulton and Christophe Pillet, then Starck employees and both future LaCie designers, ran the projects. A fourth Starck-designed product was completed to model stage in 1992 but was never manufactured.

Industrial designerNeil Poulton has the longest running history with électronique d2/LaCie. From 1991 onwards, Scottish-born Poulton designed numerous products for d2, including the 'Shark' and 'FM Tuner' and the award-winning, phallic 'le Coq' hard drive. Poulton also designed d2's graphics, literature, packaging, trade fair booths, and the two électronique d2 logos. When d2 bought out LaCie in 1995, Poulton was brought in to design the current LaCie logo and the company's corporate identity.

Poulton is responsible for the design of the best-selling 'd2' range, the 'Pocketdrive' range, the 'Rugged' drive, the 'Little Big Disk' and numerous professional and 'unsigned' d2/LaCie products dating back to 1991. His funnel-inspired 'Firewire Speakers' won the French 'Janus de l'Industrie' award in 2007.

Christophe Pillet, better known for his high-end furniture, designed products for d2 /LaCie from 1994-96 after quitting Philippe Starck's office.

In 2003, Philippe Spruch commissioned an agency to identify the world's 'best known' design studio. He then hired the world-famous Porsche Design company to design a product range which would become best-sellers for LaCie between 2003-6.

A spate of colorful products released in 2006 included Karim Rashid's 'shocking' dayglo products and the popular Brick drive designed by Frenchman Ora-Ito. Never far from controversy, Ito's award winning USB Hub of 2007 had to be renamed to avoid infringement with the original name.

In 2007, the French national museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, in Paris acquired LaCie products for its permanent collection including Poulton's 'le Coq', 'd2',' LBD', 'Firewire Speakers', 'Pocketdrive' and 'Rugged', Ito's 'Brick' and 'USB Hub', and two Porsche Design drives.

Poulton and Ito continue to work as designers for LaCie.

Innovations[edit]

LaCie developed the first universal disk formatting software for SCSI drives, Silverlining.^{[citation needed]}

LaCie was one of the first companies to include switchable, built-in termination with their Cirrus, Tsunami, and ZFP SCSI drives for Macintosh computers.^{[citation needed]}
