Portability? Check. Rugged design? Check. SSD speed? Check. Bus-powered? Check. Thunderbolt and USB 3.0? Check. Built-in Thunderbolt cable? Check. The only negative for the LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt SSD is the price tag. A bare 500 GB SSD drive ...

The LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt is a fast, portable drive with a reasonable price-perGB. If you're working in the field (or desert or war zone) the Rugged Thunderbolt is designed to handle just about any situation....

Captive Thunderbolt cable, Good shock and dust protection, Consistant and fast speeds
Bulky case
The LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt is a fast, portable drive with a reasonable price-per-gb. If you're working in the field (or desert or war zone) the Rugged Thunderbolt is designed to handle just about any situation. I'm surprised they don't make matching Ma...

Abstract: First, a story. I loathe mechanical hard drives. They're painfully slow, annoyingly finicky, and prone to failure — the consumer ones, anyway. Toss one in a cheap USB 3.0 enclosure, however, and you've got a bona fide recipe for disaster. I'm sure I could...
Good Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 performance, Very durable for a portable drive, Value-add software bundle
No daisy-chain ability
The LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt 2TB is a relatively speedy portable hard drive that takes full advantage of both the Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 interface. In our testing, results were slightly higher than what LaCie quoted for this product, deliveri...
Abstract: We were pleasantly surprised to when LaCie sent us their latest version of the Little Big Disk Thunderbolt. It's much faster than the version we tested in November 2011. The second surprise was the new and improved Rugged notebook storage device with both...
After testing countless drives, LaCie's Rugged USB3 is one of my favourites to date. It's simple to setup and use, it has Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 interfaces, it's backwards compatible with USB 2.0, and offers SSD speed without a ridiculously high pric...

Wellbuilt, portable and bus powered, ultrafast interfaces, included cables, relatively affordable.
Unexplained slower read speeds via Thunderbolt, no Thunderbolt passthru support, design may not be attractive to some
In the end, however, the speed of the drive is excellent for a single SSD configuration, even considering the mysterious gap between USB 3 and Thunderbolt read performance. The drive is also reasonably priced for a Thunderbolt product, and the included ca...

Speedy SSD. Thunderbolt Interface. USB 3.0. Both USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt cable included. Ruggedized to take commuting abuse. SSD can be moved while in use. Easy setup utility.
Still pricey on a GB per dollar basis
If you need the fastest, rugged portable storage, the LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt is the drive you want. It's made for a Mac, but is strong enough for a PC, especially now that Thunderbolt is available on Windows laptops....
