Review: Great rugged drive at a bargain price! - I bought two of these, both 2TB, for use as backup drives for my main PC. So far I'm pretty impressed! Just for clarity - these are mechanical hard disk drives (HDD) as opposed to solid state drives (SSD). LaCie sell both versions in the Rugged mini range, but the 2TB SSD versions are considerably more expensive. For my needs, i.e. a long term back-up that will sit in a drawer, the HDD version was the best option. The drives are shock resistant, pressure resistant and rain resistant, coming with the distinctive orange bumper case. They are small is size and look smart with the silver/orange colour combo. These are great drives for throwing in your backpack (not that I'll be doing much of that). The drives comes with a connecting cable - in this case a USB 3.0 Micro-B (on the HDD) going to a USB-C on the PC. OK, I'd have preferred USB-C at each end, but no big deal. There's a distinctive LED light on the drive when it's running, so no issue of accidentally unplugging whilst the PC is accessing it. The drives come formatted as exFAT (readable by PC and MAC). They have installed software that allows you to easily register the drive with LaCie (actually Seagate who own LaCie). They come with a generous 3 year warranty and data recovery. I reformatted my drives to NTFS as I'm using them exclusively on PCs. I haven't done any geeky measures of speed - but would say they seem plenty fast to me! Final thought - the price for these seems to be very variable with desertcart. I've seen them advertised for around £90, then seen other listings with lower prices. Be assured, these came brand new, unopened, with cable and a full 3-year warranty direct from desertcart - don't hesitate to buy one is you see it in the £50 - £70 ball park.
