Today, LaCie, the premium brand from Seagate Technology plc
(NASDAQ: STX), announced Rugged RAID, the latest product to join
its line of iconic Rugged mobile hard drives. LaCie™ Rugged RAID
features twice the speed and capacity of a standard mobile hard
drive* – all with the same Rugged portability and durability that
enthusiasts have come to expect. It is also the only product in its
class to feature hardware RAID 0 and 1, which lets professionals
optimize the product for speed or data security according to their
workflow – and use it on any Mac® or PC.

When on a deadline, every second counts. The LaCie Rugged
features Thunderbolt™ and USB 3.0 along with two internal hard
drives that are preconfigured in hardware RAID 0 for sustained
performance of up to 240 MB/s**. With this speed, users can
transfer 64 GB of content in less than five minutes, and even start
to edit photos in the field with Adobe® Lightroom®. This time
savings is key for field-based professionals who collect and move
tons of data onto external storage.
Professionals, especially photographers, face the challenge of
keeping up with ever-increasing resolutions and file sizes. The
LaCie Rugged addresses this challenge by featuring 4 TB in a
compact footprint. With this capacity, the LaCie Rugged can store
the equivalent of sixty 64 GB memory cards. This allows
professionals to carry fewer drives while acquiring more photos,
footage, and other types of content in the field.
The LaCie Rugged features RAID 1 (mirrored mode), which is where
the data is duplicated across the two drives. So, even if a single
drive fails in the field, the data remains accessible from the
other drive. This is especially helpful to on-the-go professionals
with limited laptop capacity. The LaCie Rugged can serve as the
primary safe storage during travel. Even in the case of a single
drive failure, data is protected.
For added data protection, the LaCie Rugged is resistant to
shock, dust and water. It is tested to withstand drops*** of up to
1.5 meters (5 feet) and 1 ton of pressure. With its cap in place,
the LaCie Rugged is IP 54-rated for superior resistance to dust and
water splashing – even during operation. So whether the LaCie
Rugged RAID takes a jarring jeep ride, is buried under stacks of
suitcases in the airplane cargo hold, or gets splashed during a
tropical downpour, the data remains safe and accessible.
Portability is key, and professionals need their equipment to go
and work anywhere. Powered through the Thunderbolt cable, the LaCie
Rugged offers access to the data anywhere – no power outlet
required. The integrated Thunderbolt cable ensures that the cable
cannot be lost. Plus, with Thunderbolt and USB 3.0, it works with
any standard computer.
The LaCie Rugged includes everything professionals need for
secure backup in the field: a backup software suite and
compatibility with Time Machine™ and Windows Backup. It also
includes LaCie Private-Public software, which lets users
password-protect the entire drive or only certain volumes with AES
256-bit encryption.
