Product Information

  • Overview

    The LaCie Rugged Triple Hard Drive provides universal connectivity: It gives you the superior speeds of USB 3.0 and FireWire 800, and full backward compatibility with FireWire 400 and USB 2.0. You can transfer a 700MB video file in less than seven seconds with USB 3.0, compared to 25 seconds with USB 2.0. And the 7200-rpm spindle speed (500GB model only), allows speeds up to 110MB/s. Whether your goal is super speed or complete compatibility, the Rugged Triple has everything you need.

    A fifth level of data security

    Standard LaCie AES 256-bit encryption software makes it easy for you to create a password-protected area on your drive where you can securely store all of your confidential information.

  • Great product

    5.0 out of 5 stars

    This Rugged drive is brilliant. It's both functional and sexy. I bought the 500 GB version and I haven't been happier. It performs exactly how I need it to while staying quiet and blending in with my other equipment. It's good to finally see an external drive that is both practical and appealing to the eye. …

  • Excellent Rugged Drive

    5.0 out of 5 stars

    It's good to know with the Rugged that I don’t have to be overly gentle with it. I' ve lost count of the number of times I've trie d carefully to protect my portable drives only to have them drop off the table. The rugged design alone has me resting comfortably let alone the added levels of data protection that come with the drive (encryption, cloud storage..) …

  • I love this drive!

    5.0 out of 5 stars

    I needed a drive for backups while travelling and extra storage. This one is perfectly compatible with Time Machine, I use it to b ackup data from my Mac Air. All works very well, no complaints at all. It's a tough little drive, I don't worry about my data security anymore and the encryption is a nice bonus. I highly recommend it. …
