Portable hard drives are always a good solution when it comes to transferring of big files, but as you know, USB 2.0 drives might not be fast enough for all your needs. Luckily, today we have one portable hard drive from LaCie that uses USB 3.0 for file transfer.

Today we have Starck Mobile USB 3.0 hard drive from LaCie, and the great thing about this model is its design. Famous designer Philippe Starck designed this model, and the design includes a 2mm aluminum casing that keeps the hard drive safe from overheating and damage. Besides its design, the Starck Mobile portable hard drive uses USB 3.0 for file transfer and allows you to transfer files at a rate of 5Gbps. Of course, if you don't have USB 3.0 you can also use this device with a USB 2.0 port without any problems. Storage space of this model is 500GB, and it is fully compatible with PC and Mac.

As for the pricing, the LaCie Starck Mobile USB 3.0 hard drive will cost $109.99.

As you know, Google TV has been released and it has brought some features to fans such as YouTube Leanback. YouTube Leanback might not be the best feature on Google TV, but with the YouTube Remote app it just might become that.

In order to use this app, you just need to sign in into your YouTube Leanback on TV or PC, and use that same login to sign up on the phone. After that, you just need to select video on your phone and send it to your PC or TV with a press of a single button. As for the YouTube Remote app, it doesn't work as well as expected because several users have reported certain issues such as crashing while running this app. Although this app has its flaws, it works well for arranging queues and for playback on multiple screens.

Although this app has some issues, it generally works well and if you want to try it out, get it from the Android Market.
