Lacie rugged thunderbolt drive review.

Lacie s latest rugged thunderbolt all terrain is the new height among portable drives in terms of both design and performance. This capacity is commonly found in la cie s portable mobile and rugged designs. For example this lacie rugged thunderbolt usb c drive we are looking at today is usb c enabled but the usb c port is simply using the usb 3 standard and not the newer usb3 1 standard. Lacie has used a seagate hard drive the st2000lm007 which is a mobile hdd with a 7mm profile and that explains why the device is so small.

The lacie rugged thunderbolt is a fast portable drive with a reasonable price per gb. The rugged thunderbolt portable drive puts a new spin on lacie s lineup by enhancing shock dust and water resistance. It only has two platters each with a 1tb capacity. The drive measures 3 85 inches by 2 55 inches.

The lacie rugged ssd pro is available in 1tb 400 and 2tb 700 capacities the same prices as samsung s x5. Again this comes down to the fact that the maximum speed of a mechanical hard drive doesn t even come close to saturating a usb 3 connection so paying for usb 3 1 hardware would have no benefit at all but. Performance capacity or compatibility or all three. The lacie rugged usb 3 0 thunderbolt 2tb is a relatively speedy portable hard drive that takes full advantage of both the thunderbolt and usb 3 0 interface.

We tested the less capacious unit. The majority of lacie external hard drives can be found in the 1 to 10. Choose from thunderbolt usb c usb 3 0 and firewire 800. The storage device has two layers of casing to protect it against.

Select the version optimized for your use. Lacie rugged portable hard drives are the most trusted way to capture and transport data in the field. Most external hard drives offer at least 500gbs worth of storage.
