Stylish LG XF1 500GB Multimedia Hard Drive Announced

Tweet

There are a bunch of external hard drives out there and it’s really hard to pick one, but when we laid our eyes on something as stylish and chic as the new LG XF1 500GB multimedia hard drive, we got sold the same moment. A 500GB machine with an USB interface and HDMI output, the new LG XF1 is the company’s first multimedia HDD that plays high def content from AVI, Xvid, and MPEGs 1, 2, and 4 files directly onto your TV set in 1080i quality.

Available with smooth curves and gorgeous gloss-black finish, LG FX1 is not much of a Mac lover as it packs a codec decoder that only reads FAT32 and NTFS exclusively. The devices features on-onboard touch-sensitive buttons for navigation (say bye bye to the remote) and for connectivity it also comes packed with a composite AV output and a mini-USB jack.

Although it’s a damn pleasing addition – aesthetically speaking, the new LG XF1 lacks H.264, WMV and MKV support and misses out on a few features that would’ve turned it into a hot seller. Let’s hope LG can do a bit better next time …

No word regarding the price or a release date as of now!
