Guess what’s back? Back again. Something’s back. Tell a friend. Guess what’s back, guess what’s back, guess what’s back… (*insert hums here). Are you curious? No it’s not some shady rapper, but the renowned LaCie Rugged external hard disk drive that’s back. The LaCie Rugged Hard Drive is now smaller than ever (dimension of mere 3.4 x 5.3 x 0.75 in.) and it’s back ready to take on rougher rumblin’ and stumblin’. Still sporting the Series’ original orange color and popular design, the new LaCie Rugged Mini comes with whole new features and options that turn this hard drive into a perfect mobile storage and backup solution.
Like its predecessors, the LaCie Rugged Mini Hard Disk is shock and drop-resistant thanks to its rubber sleeve; but it doesn’t end there. The new Mini is also tougher than ever, it is now rain-resistant and more importantly – it’s pressure-resistant to the point of surviving being run over by a 1 Ton truck! The LaCie Rugged Mini’s advanced ultra-tough exterior offers the hard drive inside the perfect protection against shocks, drops, rain water, and extreme pressures. Aside from external protection, the Rugged Mini portable HDD additionally comes with user-friendly applications like Private-Public secured access, Backup Assistant, Eco-Mode, and 10GB Wuala Secure Online Storage.
Unlike a lumbering knight in full armor, the LaCie Rugged Mini Hard Disk is amazingly fast and agile; courtesy of its backward compatible USB 3.0 interface. The USB 3.0 hard drive has a transfer rate of up to 5 GB/s and can relocate a 700 Megabyte movie file in less than 7 seconds, that’s about 3 times faster than regular USB 2.0 based hard drives. The included LaCie Mac USB 3.0 Driver can even enhance the transfer speeds of Mac computers up to 30 percent as compared to FireWire. The LaCie Rugged Mini portable HDD will be available in standard 500 GB, 7200rpm 500G, and 1TB models, all backed by a 2-year LaCie limited warranty.
