From the Manufacturer

Featuring speed and complete compatibility with USB 3.0 and FireWire 800s

The LaCie Rugged Triple Hard Disk provides universal connectivity: you've got the superior speeds of USB 3.0 and FireWire 800, and full backward compatibility with FireWire 400 and USB 2.0. You can transfer a 700MB video file in less than 7 seconds with USB 3.0, compared to 25 seconds with USB 2.0. Additionally, you can use the LaCie Mac USB 3.0 Driver to improve data transfer speed on your Mac (up to a 30% performance increase compared to FireWire 800). Whether your goal is super speed or complete compatibility, the Rugged Triple has everything you need.

Four levels of rugged protection so you can carry your files with confidence

Easy setup and automatic backup with the included software

Four Levels of Rugged Protection

The Rugged is one of LaCie's most popular hard disks, and it's the best way to protect your data. It conforms to military standard 810-F, and can support drops from up to two meters. It helps you carry your files with confidence, no matter where the road takes you, thanks to its shock-absorbing sleeve, aluminum anti-scratch casing, internal rubber bumpers, and a 1000g shock-resistant hard drive.

A Fifth Level of Data Security

LaCie AES 256-bit encryption software comes standard with the Rugged Triple. The Triple makes it easy for you to create a password- protected area on your drive where you can securely store all of your confidential information. AES 256-bit encryption technology is one of the most robust on the market today, and makes the Rugged Triple more secure than ever.

User-Friendly Software Suite Included

The Rugged Triple also offers easy setup and automatic backup on both PC and Mac computers. It also features an automatic Eco mode that lowers the power consumption by up to 40% when not in use, increasing the battery life of your notebook. In addition, you get 10GB of Wuala Online Storage included for one year to securely store and share your data online.

This review is from: LaCie Rugged Hard Disk Triple 500 GB USB 3.0 Firewire 800 (2x) Portable Hard Drive 301982 (Personal Computers)

I have been owning some rugged drives already for the past years and have never been disappointed. I use them at work to exchange large files between PCs and Macs and the Rugged Triple USB3.0 is the best version so far as it is the fastest on Mac with FireWire 800 and fastest on PCs with USB 3.0. It is more than 3 times faster on PC thanks to the SuperSpeed USB 3.0. The product is great and secure with the rubber sleeve and anti shock design.

I bought this drive following a colleague's recommendation. The speed of this drive is very good. Even large amounts of data can be transferred to the drive or back to the computer fairly quickly. The drive has turned out to be a very handy travel accessory as it's powered directly from USB/Firewire ports, has data encryption option and rugged design. All necessary cables are included. I'm quite happy with this drive.

Good priced drive for what you get. It is fairly quiet, rugged, cool running and reliable. The performance is great too. I've bought it for backup and to carry with me when I travel. Seems to be just perfect for what I need it for.
