LaCie Rugged Safe
$200.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Includes FW 400 to 800 cable, good for Widnows PC users where FW400 is more common on laptops. Rugged casing that can take a few bumps and knocks. The finger print reader software is on the drive, no external software required.
The Cons:Disappointing to see that only the top and bottom of the case is made from aluminium, the sides are all plastic. Strange to find that transfer rates in Mac OS X is better than Windows.
The LaCie Rugged Safe is a high-end external hard drive available in 500GB and 1TB capacities. As a premium product, this drive features a secure, “all-terrain” design. The manufacturer claims the enclosure is shock-proof with its rubberized edges and brush-metal plating.
