LaCie External Hard Drive Review

The Strong External Drive – LaCie Rugged All-Terrain

Indecency often happens, and we certainly do not like this. We often accidentally drop stuffs while carrying it or make it fall from the table and it can be a serious problem on some cases, for example an external drive which saves your work or your final exam files accidentally fallen from your hand and ruined, the worst consequence is data lost. You can be careful to prevent it, but it does not guarantee your carelessness will not happen again.

Technology experts always understand our problem. Therefore they created external drive which has a robust structure and design. Among of those strong external hard disks, one of them is LaCie Rugged All-Terrain Hard Drive.

Its design reminds me to mp3 player. LaCie Rugged All-Terrain Hard Drive is designed to survive against extreme condition. Maybe at the first sight you think it’s heavy because of its solid shell but actually this thing is lighter than you think, only 250 gram, measuring at 9 cm wide, 14.5 cm long, and 2.5 cm in height.

This device is very tough, has a shock-resistant rubber sleeve for muffled impact effect, anti scratch protective aluminum shell as shield which protects the hard drive, and internal anti-shock rubber bumpers as hard drive foundations which gives shock resistance.

It is easily carried, and you do not need to be afraid if it encounters extreme conditions such as accidentally falling from your hand, your desk, etc. It also gives safety for your data while being carried on traveling or vacations. It never fails handling your data. LaCie Rugged All-Terrain is available in 120GB, 250GB, 320GB, 320GB-7200 rpm (only this type which has 7200 rpm spindle speed), and 500GB.

Its type of 320 GB-7200 rpm has a better spindle speed than the others. Its 320 GB capacity is able to store up to one million images and more than 200 hours video recording, 7200 rpm spindle speed for data access speed which reduces your waiting time, FireWire 800 & 400 and USB 2.0 interfaced for fast connectivity. With bus-powered installed in it you do not need external power supply to run it, hot plug on and play, and so easily to run on any computers / laptops.

Pros
It is one of the external drives which have a solid structure and difficult to be damaged. Its protective aluminum shell and shock-resistant rubber sleeve makes hard drive well protected.

Cons
Has an ordinary design of external disk, and its orange color on shock-resistant rubber sleeve does not match with silver on protective aluminum shell.
