Overview

An all-terrain external hard drive, all mini!

Rugged mini is LaCie's all-terrain compact hard drive, built to last! With maximum reliability, it protects your data from external aggression and accompanies you easily on every trip thanks to its compact and robust design. You also benefit from the speed of USB 3.0 for your data transfers.

Small and durable

With its iconic orange design and shock-resistant enclosure, the Rugged is a popular drive. For the Rugged Mini, the Rugged has been scaled down and a host of new features have been added, making it a safe solution for carrying your data on the go.

The LaCie Rugged Mini is shock resistant, drop resistant, and has a rubber sleeve for extra protection. It's also rain and pressure resistant. Thanks to its small size, you can take it anywhere you go!

USB 3.0 speed

With the Rugged Mini, you get the speed of USB 3.0 combined with full backwards compatibility with USB 2.0, which means you can use it with almost any computer. You can transfer a 700MB video file in less than 7 seconds with USB 3.0 compared to 25 seconds with USB 2.0.

Plus, you can use LaCie's USB 3.0 Driver for Mac to improve data transfer speed on Macs (up to 30% more performance than FireWire 800).

    Good product

    The hard drive seems solid, and its rubber protection covers the outside well in case of shock. I travel every week with it in my luggage and I'm happy with it.

    2 weeks

    In a fortnight the HDD disconnects often and a regular "tac" noise
    I hope I have found a defective part and that they are not all like this

    Good value for money. It does the job.
    Used for my professional server backups.
    That's it!

    2 remarks

    On start-up, the DDE appears with only 380 mg of memory and it is impossible to format it. It is necessary to go into the terminal and format it. Fortunately LDLC sent me the way to proceed.
    The USB socket is small and the DDE tends to fall out.

    I use it to store 4K video files when I'm reporting.

    disappointing compared to the quality of the previous product

    disappointing compared to the quality of previous products, short 40cm cable which has the era of being much less robust
    lamentable transfer rate of 37mb/s over usb3.0 with 750mb video

    total disk size 3,630 terra but that's normal
    shareable in fat32 and nfts via dedicated application and automatic backup

    I'm not sure how much of a problem it is, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a good drive.

    I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it will be.
