Lacie rugged thunderbolt drive review.
Ssd and hdd versions are available both feature an integrated thunderbolt cable and a usb 3 0 port if needed.
Most external hard drives offer at least 500gbs worth of storage.
Lacie rugged portable hard drives are the most trusted way to capture and transport data in the field.
The storage device has two layers of casing to protect it against.
Performance capacity or compatibility or all three.
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.
If you re working in the field or desert or war zone the rugged thunderbolt is designed to handle just.
Select the version optimized for your use.
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.
The lacie rugged ssd pro is available in 1tb 400 and 2tb 700 capacities the same prices as samsung s x5.
The lacie rugged thunderbolt is a fast portable drive with a reasonable price per gb.
The majority of lacie external hard drives can be found in the 1 to 10.
This capacity is commonly found in la cie s portable mobile and rugged designs.
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.
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.
The drive measures 3 85 inches by 2 55 inches.
We tested the less capacious unit.
The rugged thunderbolt portable drive puts a new spin on lacie s lineup by enhancing shock dust and water resistance.
It only has two platters each with a 1tb capacity.
