I had an old Lacie Rugged 320 GB drive for several years prior to buying this one. Now I have two, and it's actually impressive to see how the Rugged evolved in the past few years. I have the 1 TB Rugged mini, and it's smaller and even feels sturdier than its predecessor.

compact; easy to use

all good

Great drive and a good price. Unable to use USB 3 yet but still performs.

I was told that LaCie made "generic" hard drives. Meaning that you don't know about the make of the actual hardware inside the frame containing the external hard drive. But I must say that, so far this machine works great This is the third one I purchased.

Bought this one for my son because he needs a good reliable hard drive for backup and travelling. The one I purchased for myself has been around the world a few times. I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone.

Very good quality and very fast delivery. Thanks.

My first boss was a real fanatic about backups, and taught me to always compound the odds in my favor. MIL-spec ruggedness is a way of doing that and, along with the availability of lots of space for files, made it pretty easy to pick this drive out of the many other models available on the market.

bus-powered; rugged; USB 3.0; fast; AES 256-bit encryption; Thunderbolt interface

so far none

I have two of these for my photos in conjunction with Lightroom, one for backup to keep in second location. I love it's durability and portabilty.

I had to salvage all my files from an old external drive, before it was obsolete. I bought this online at johnlewis.com, and picked it up from the store's collection point at Brent Cross, NW London.

Got this because my old backup drive died. It works really well and fast. It comes with a USB C to USB A so you can use it on any computer. It comes loaded with a setup tool that is really helpful to create a shared partition that works with Windows.

Best hard driver ever and really safe
