LaCie Rugged Triple 500GB 7200 RPM

Triple Interface for the Best Performance

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*** With the Rugged Triple's 7200rpm model, you can
even achieve speeds up to 110MB/s. 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

The Rugged is one of our 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.
Calculations are based on average read time.

A Fifth Level of Data Security

LaCie AES 256-bit encryption software comes standard with the Rugged
Triple. We've made 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.
