If you travel a lot with your data, the Rugged All-Terrain is the drive is for you. Perfect for users who need backup, storage and large-volume exchange for office files, photos, music and even video clips, the Rugged All-Terrain is powered by the FireWire or USB connection, which means that it uses the power of the connected computer to operate and doesn't require an additional AC adapter or power cord. The Rugged All-Terrain offers the triple-interface convenience of high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity (which is USB 1.1 backward compatible) along with both FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 interfaces. With this triple-interface functionality, along with the drive's driver-free and plug-and-play features, exchanging data between Macs and PCs is as easy as it gets. The Rugged All-Terrain even comes with a USB power-sharing cable for low powered USB hubs/computers. (The Rugged All-Terrain requires no extra drivers for Windows XP/2000/Vista and Mac OS X operating systems.) This high-performance drive features a spin speed of 5400 rpm, an 8 MB cache, and a transfer rate of up to 800 Mbits per second via the FireWire 800 connection. Measuring a mere 3.5 x 1 x 5.7 inches (WxHxD) and weighing less than nine ounces, the Rugged All-Terrain is designed to travel and will fit easily in your briefcase or backpack. Take it with you on business trips and vacations, or use it for transferring files from one desktop computer to another. Included with the drive are LaCie software bundles to enhance its performance and functionality, including LaCie's 1-Click Backup Software (for Mac and PC) and SilverKeeper Backup Software (Mac). Mobile, All-Terrain Protection Designed exclusively for LaCie by world-renowned designer Neil Poulton, the Rugged All-Terrain is built like an off-road vehicle, ready to withstand the bumps and bruises of your travels. Its unique, scratch-protected aluminum shell and shock-resistant rubber bumper make it especially resistant to harsh elements. In fact, the drive is designed to withstand vertical drops of up to 35 inches while in non-operating mode. (Dropping the drive while it's in operation, however, could cause damage, so be careful!) For additional styling points, the Rugged All-Terrain can be outfitted with additional colorful bumpers that will keep your drive protected.

 Rating:  - Skip this driveThis drive runs very hot with constant use. If you just need it for occasional use then you may be ok. I used mine everyday and after about 5 months it died. Rating:  - LaCie Rugged DrivesLaCie Rugged All-Terrain 301015 120 GB USB 2.0/FireWire400/FireWire800 Portable Hard Drive I'm a video producer and use these for media storage and editing both at the office and on the road using firewire cords. They're bus-powered, so they run off our Macs with ease -- and we have zero latency issues...even with HD material. Phenomenal product. We've got at least half a dozen of them in varying storage sizes, and they're built for bear. They really are rugged and handle ... Read More Rating: - Times for TransferSo far, so good with this product! For comparisons sake, I decided to copy a 5.66 GB video file from a G5 to this drive. USB 2.0 - 6:15 FireWire 400 - 3:59 FireWire 800 - 2:05 I like the drive thusfar, but I have yet to work much with it. Rating: - Do NOT buy a LaCie driveI bought this drive based on good user reviews. The drive failed within 6 months where previous drives (other brands) lasted 5+ years. Customer service is basically non-existent. You are not able to speak an actual person. You have to file complaints on their website and then re-log in to check their status. Bad, bad, bad. Like most people, I rely heavily on my external drive and am left high and dry when it goes bad. One needs immediate triage when a drive goes down NOT 3 weeks of worthless web posts. ... Read More Rating:  - It worksThis drive works great on my MacBook Pro and is super fast via FW800, however gets almost too hot to touch when using that method. I tried using it with my 4 year old Dell laptop via USB and it kept overloading the bus power when used without the external power supply, which is not very convenient. (I'll consider that a computer problem and not a drive problem). This is a great external storage product for a portable Mac which you can also cook on after 10 minutes. |
