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
