Yes.
You can use Disk Utility System Restore or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your internal hard drive or any bootable volume to the Rugged.

Answer
I can. I bought the drive and was shocked to only get 110 MB/s, which is faster than my Firewire 800 LaCie Rugged drives, but not by much.

Would my iTunes work if I moved all music/movie files to this harddrive? I'm completely out of space on my Macbook Pro & am looking for alternatives.
- Asked by Katie B from Elizabethtown
- Feb 19, 2013

Of course, you will only be able to listen to your music or podcasts, or view your videos when drive is connected and available.
A better method is to give some consideration to move some of your less frequently needed documents to the external drive. …More- Answered by Mike M from Beaverton
