Great device!

I liked the device and the cover. Just I need and was delivered in my post box. An easy way to buy things for the job.

Drive physical failure in less than 13 months.

Had this drive for less than 13 months when it failed completely with physical errors. Can't reinitialize. In other words, it's a brick. It was never dropped. In fact, it was never moved from the top of my MacPro desktop and used only occasionally as a back up drive.

Didn't last longer than 2 weeks

Bought Lacie cause I read a lot of positive reviews about it. Took it with me upstate NY to film a retreat for the client. On the 2 day of the retreat, I transferred all information from SD cards to my new LaCie and checked everything before I went to sleep.

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.

It performs as it is advertised to and priced right. It is what is is as a hard drive and it does what it's supposed to. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a hard drive that stores data and things like that...otherwise you may be out of luck.

  • Attractive Design
  • 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.
