LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt drive: Excellent
The Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt that LaCie announced today is the third bus-powered Thunderbolt drive to hit the market and the second one that also supports USB 3.0. Its two contenders are the Elgato Thunderbolt SSD, which is the very first Thunderbolt drive that's bus-powered, and the recently...

Amazing!
I was a bit skeptical about the mini at first. But it works flawlessly, fits perfectly in decent sized pockets, and is fast! The only con is that at times it can get a little hot but this has only happened twice. Overall it is a great product and well worth your money!
Pros:
- Fast
- Quiet
- Reliable

Drive fine, connector not
No way to even salvage the drive inside, as LaCie uses the same type of weird screws with pins in the middle that Apple uses on their products to lock them down.
Pros:
- Looks nice
- The drive itself worked fine
- Rugged orange rubber bumper is a good idea
Cons:
- Worked for about 9 months, then the connector began to act spotty
- It became difficult to maintain obtain or maintain a connection
- The special funky and delicate USB connector that manufacturers seem to be so fond of now was just not making good contact anymore.

LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series review
There's little mistaking the LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series , thanks to its eye-catching orange rubber bumper. You can find it in three capacities – 120, 256 and 1000 GB – although the latter is currently reverting to spinning disk technology instead of the solid-state flash tech in the...
Pros:
- Good performance
- choice of interfaces
- very tough
Cons:
- Unsubtle colour finish
- disappointing small-file performance
- expensive

Fast, could have used more instruction.
It works as it should. It's a little confusing getting started as there are actually TWO drives on it and if you leave it partitioned, it will keep trying to open the smaller of the two drives when you are trying to add things to the larger one, and when you switch from one laptop to another, it...

LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 500GB
It's fair to say that LaCie's Rugged drives don't look like anything else out there. The stout aluminium shell and garish rubber sleeve are certainly distinctive.

LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt (120GB SSD)
If you need the fastest rugged portable storage, the LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt ($199.99 list) is the external drive you want. This solid-state drive (SSD) is made for a Mac, but is strong enough for a PC, especially now that Thunderbolt is available on Windows laptops.
Pros:
- Speedy SSD
- Thunderbolt Interface
- USB 3.0
- Both USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt cable included
- Ruggedized to take commuting abuse
- SSD can be moved while in use.
Cons:
- Still pricey on a GB per dollar basis

LaCie has a strong USB 3.0 enclosure that is fast, reliable and cheap. Chris takes a look and shows us that USB 3.0 storage doesn't have to break the bank.

LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 review
Although we've seen quite a few desktop hard disks with a USB3 connection, the LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 is the first portable disk to arrive in our Labs with the faster version of the USB interface.

It's fair to say that LaCie's Rugged drives don't look like anything else out there. The stout aluminium shell and garish rubber sleeve are certainly distinctive. We're not certain it's something we'd want on our desk, however.
