LaCie has announced the newest product in its iconic line of Rugged mobile drives will feature USB-C technology. This drive marries legendary Rugged durability with cutting-edge USB-C, making it an ideal storage solution for next-generation computers like the latest Apple Macbook, as well as USB computers.
The Rugged USB-C drive’s USB-C cable is fully reversible with no up/down or left/right orientation, so there’s no wrong way to connect the product. Not only is this new drive Thunderbolt™ 3 compatible, it can also be connected to USB 3.0 computers thanks to the included USB-C to USB-A cable. As a result, it can be used on almost any Mac or PC, latest or legacy. This wide compatibility also means creative professionals can ship the product to a client without worrying about connectivity.
The LaCie Rugged USB-C delivers transfer speeds of up to 130MB/s, enabling professionals to quickly transfer footage. The LaCie Rugged USB-C provides enough bandwidth to browse large photo libraries without lag and perform backups fast. Plus, because it is bus powered, the LaCie Rugged USB-C is ready to work virtually anywhere. This time savings and convenience is key for field-based professionals.
With capacities of up to 4TB, the market’s highest storage for its size, the LaCie Rugged USB-C gives enough space to store massive amounts of photos or video footage. It is perfect for use as a shuttle drive to transport footage from set to post-production or to store a huge Lightroom library.
The LaCie Rugged USB-C, design by Neil Poulton, features the durability that some of the most influential creative pros have relied on for over a decade. Like its predecessors, the Rugged USB-C protects data against almost any risk. With resistance to drops, crush, rain, and unauthorized access, the LaCie Rugged USB-C is tough enough for extreme conditions—from a sudden rainstorm to a crush of suitcases in an airplane cargo hold.
The LaCie Rugged USB-C will be available in 1TB (Rs. 11,400), 2TB (Rs.15,570) and 4TB (Rs. 22,190) capacities with a two-year limited warranty. The LaCie Rugged USB-C is available at LaCie resellers, and is showcased at the 25th Convergence India 2017 expo, held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from 8 to 10 February.
