"so far so good"
on by Lillian McnamaraPros excellent design, fast, rugged
Cons can't think of anything
Summary I've bought my rugged drive about 10 months ago and so far it has performed admirably. As soon as I plugged the drive into my computer it took literally seconds before it was ready for use. The drive is very easy, doesn't make any noise and has good read and write speed. So far I've had absolutely no problems with it.

"Excellent rugged drive"
on by DamienBlissPros multiple connections, rugged design, works with Mac & PC
Cons nothing to complain about
Summary These drives are really rugged as their name suggests. I've had several of them in the past few years, and all of them still work just fine. I work a lot with video footage, so I need a lot of these drives. Excellent choice for everybody looking for performance and quality.

"Good portable storage"
on by AddergoolePros bus-powered, excellent design, rugged, three connection options
Cons nothing to complain about
Summary This hard drive is exactly what I was looking for. For me the main benefits of this model are: ruggedness, Firewire 800, 1TB hard drive size, no need for the power supply as the drive draws power directly from the computer ports, and the design. I've been using it for some time now and it remains unscratched and so far performs flawlessly.

Cons can't think of anything
Summary I bought LaCie Rugged 1TB drive for backup and carrying with me when I travel. The built quality and overall design is great. Performance is perfect and transfer speed is fast. The drive is plug and play and bus-powered. I use it with Genie Backup software that came with the drive. It's very simple to use and works just fine. All in all, this is a great rugged external hard drive. I would recommend it.
