LaCie 2TB Rugged External Mini Hard Drive with USB3.0 & FW800

The Iconic Rugged, Just Smaller

With its iconic orange design and secure form factor, the Rugged has been one of the most popular hard drives. With the Rugged Mini, LaCie has shrunk the Rugged, and added tonnes of new features, making it a solid investment for on-the-go data transport.

The LaCie Rugged Mini Hard Disk shares features with the popular Rugged Hard Disk, like shock resistance, drop resistance, and a rubber sleeve for added protection. But the Rugged Mini has gone a step further: it's also rain-resistant, and pressure-resistant - you can drive over it with a 1-tonne car, and it still works! Its small size makes it perfect to take with you wherever you go, and its Rugged exterior provides protection against accidental drops, shock, or pressure.

With the Rugged Mini, you've got the speed of USB 3.0, and full backwards compatibility with USB 2.0, meaning that you can use it on almost any computer. You can transfer a 700MB video file in less than 7 seconds with USB 3.0, compared to 25 sec with USB 2.0. Additionally, you can use the LaCie Mac® USB 3.0 Driver to improve data transfer speed on your Mac (up to a 30% performance increase compared to FireWire 800).
