Review LaCie rugged 500GB USB 3.0
External Speeder. If you need fast external memory, you won't really be able to avoid the new USB 3.0 USB port. LaCie now offers the "rugged" series with this fast interface and has to prove its potential in this review.

Not So Rugged Drive
My rugged lacie mini turned out to be not-so rugged. After less than a month of use (at home on my desk), my computer could no longer detect the hard drive and after running lacie service diagnostics under their direction, they told me it was broken and needed to be sent in for repairs.

Well orange you good looking
I have a number of these LaCie Rugged drives in various configurations because I'm a very shallow man and can't resist their Neil Poulton-designed cases. Performance is decent enough via USB 3.0 and the 2.5-inch mechanical drive is whisper quiet.

LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 portable hard drive
Although it has been said that it won't become mainstream until it is officially adopted by Intel in 2011, USB 3.0 - aka SuperSpeed USB - is steadily emerging from the shadows with more and more manufacturers bringing support for the protocol to the eager masses.

LaCie Rugged USB 3.0
drive for its durability, but inside the orange and silver case is a 500GB hard drive that performs, on average, better than its counterparts. At $149, this is not the cheapest or slimmest option, but you're getting a drive that can be dropped from 7 feet, and it comes with online backup to boot.

- Easy To Setup
- Easy to use
- High Capacity
- Performs as advertised
- Portable
- Quiet
Cons:
- 2 Cords
- Need a bigger size

Rugged it is, but Mini not really!
The former one was strong (I used it for 18 months and I travel constantly) and well-protected (although with time, the aluminium enclosure of the original rugged would suffer somewhat - it did). The new one looks really indestructible.

There are 3 variants of this Rugged Triple. Mine is trustworthy :)
I've owned this drive for about a year and I like it; I just bought a second one. I have the 1TB, 5400 RPM version; there are also two 500GB versions of this "Rugged Triple" with the dual FW800 ports and single USB3 port; one of these 500GB versions runs at 7200 RPM (as Lacie's literature and...
