Features

The Smallest Member of the Rugged FamilyWith its iconic orange design and secure form factor, the Rugged has been one of our most popular hard drives. With the Rugged Mini, we've shrunk the Rugged, and added tons of new features, making it a solid investment for on-the-go data transport.Maximum ReliabilityThe LaCie Rugged Mini Hard Disk shares features with our popular Rugged Hard Disk, like shock resistance, drop resistance, and a rubber sleeve for added protection. But with the Rugged Mini, we've gone a step further: it's also rain-resistant, and pressure-resistant-you can drive over it with a 1-ton car, and it still works! Its small size makes it perfect to take with you wherever you go, and its Rugged exterior provides protection against accidental drops, shock, or pressure.The Speed of USB 3.0With the Rugged Mini, you've got the speed of USB 3.0, and full backward compatibility with USB 2.0, meaning that you can use it on almost any computer. You can transfer a 700MB video file in less than 7 seconds with USB 3.0, compared to 25 seconds with USB 2.0.LaCie Private-PublicThe Rugged Mini doesn't just keep your data safe from external forces-it also protects against intrusion. With the included secure password protection software, it's easy to make sure that your files are secure and protected, no matter where you go. You can even use access your password-protected files using any computer, ensuring complete data mobility-and complete data safety.

    Pros: Super Rugged, Self Powered, hard to lose Cons: Emergency orange isn’t my favorite color. Still a spinning disk so the chance of surviving a drop is still very low. Overall Review: The software on this is weird, its made for a mac power user which there are very few of. It lets you partition HFS+/FAT and manage some other advanced details. In my experience very few mac users know the technical terms to use the provided software.

    Pros: Very well built, durable, good transfer speeds with USB 3.0. Cons: A choice of colors would be nice. Overall Review: I use this as a travel drive for editing video. It’s very solid, fast and has an excellent build quality. All my other older USB2 drives are sitting in at the bottom of my drawer now.

    Pros: Bright orange rubber guard makes it easy to find. Small and easy to use. Cons: USB cable is not up to par for a rugged device. Reliability is no better than most other drives that I have used. Drive failed when I needed it most causing lost productivity. Overall Review: I gave this drive three eggs because it failed after less than 100 hours of actual usage. The actual age of the drive is three years but it has been handled with care and never subject to any condition that could be…

    Pros: They care about design. When you plug the USB cord into the drive, you notice that etched into the orange rubber casing are the words, “design by neil poulton.” I think this is more than just a gimmick. The care that they put into the physical product really makes you take better care of it. Cons: I have no complaints. Overall Review: Got one for use with a Mac and one for a PC. Both are working fine.

    Pros: Drive enclosure is metal, with a plastic caddy and a pretty good SATA->USB interface. Speeds were reasonable. Rubber bumper is well made and seems like it would serve it’s purpose. Cons: I am giving this drive one star due to LaCie’s choice of drive vendor, Seagate, in this case. Please read the “other thoughts” section for an explanation. Overall Review: I purchased this drive in March of 2015 for my girlfriend, and it sat on her desk as served as storage for her videos and recorded…

    Pros: Good file space good orange rubber protective layer Love the USB3 cord Love the cross platform use (mostly PC, some Mac) Cons: Sometimes the USB3 cord doesn’t seat well in the LaCie port so I hear the computer sound saying it’s seated, or it is disconnected Overall Review: As someone downloading files from my new GoPro, my laptop’s hard drive cannot handle the file sizes. It is wonderful to have a quick external drive with excellent file space for working on projects in real time as…

    Cons: Worked fine for 3 months, then it started having problems so invoked the warranty. I went through LaCie’s (technically Seagate’s) convoluted return process and finally managed to submit a warranty request (they don’t pay for shipping by the way) and I mailed it off. I waited 2 months to get a replacement only to discover that it bricked again within an hour of using it. Overall Review: Buy something else.
