The Lacie Rugged Safe drive is available in 500GB and 1TB and uses 128bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) hardware encryption with Fingerprint Scanner Technology to secure any data stored on the device.

Plug and play rugged drive. Well designed. I love the association of orange rubber and aluminum. Besides that the drive is a real workhorse. Would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable external hard drive!

Portable; Quiet

Unreliable

If you enjoy "Delayed Write Failed" errors when transferring files overnight with no clue where it left off, then finding that your NTFS partition is hosed, then this is the drive for you. Two in a row with the same issue.

I am always concerned that I may loose my valuable information saved on my computer. I came across this nice back-up drive and am happy I did so. I love the portability and the look of this hard drive. It was very easy to use and I would recommend it to anyone.

I am very pleased with my LaCie Rugged 500GB All Terrain Hard disk. It has ample space, very compact & with it's protective casing I am not worried about it getting bashed as I carry it around.

The LaClie Firewire drive is much faster than my previous Verbatim firewire drive. I am still using using the Firewire 400 connection to back up my server. I recommend it to everyone who has critical files to back-up from a Mac.

ive been using it for sometime and i really enjoy it

really good item and good pricing
