Lacie rugged thunderbolt drive review.
Most external hard drives offer at least 500gbs worth of storage.
We tested the less capacious unit.
The drive measures 3 85 inches by 2 55 inches.
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.
It only has two platters each with a 1tb capacity.
The lacie rugged ssd pro is available in 1tb 400 and 2tb 700 capacities the same prices as samsung s x5.
The rugged thunderbolt portable drive puts a new spin on lacie s lineup by enhancing shock dust and water resistance.
If you re working in the field or desert or war zone the rugged thunderbolt is designed to handle just.
Lacie s latest rugged thunderbolt all terrain is the new height among portable drives in terms of both design and performance.
While that s plenty of space for a casual user s collection of photos videos and documents some users may want more space for large hd video files games and photos.
This capacity is commonly found in la cie s portable mobile and rugged designs.
Ssd and hdd versions are available both feature an integrated thunderbolt cable and a usb 3 0 port if needed.
The storage device has two layers of casing to protect it against.
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 majority of lacie external hard drives can be found in the 1 to 10.
In our testing results were slightly higher than what lacie quoted for this product delivering read speeds of 112 2mb s while write activity hit 113 8mb s in a thunderbolt mac environment.
Lacie rugged portable hard drives are the most trusted way to capture and transport data in the field.
The lacie rugged thunderbolt is a fast portable drive with a reasonable price per gb.
