LaCie Rugged Hard Disk Hard drive 500 GB

External Hard-drive fit for rugged adventures

Advantages: Fast transfer speed, protection from knocks and drops
Disadvantages: Fairly high price

The LaCie Rugged All-Terrain External 250 hard-drive is a portable storage device which will allow you to store 250gb of multimedia files such as pictures, music and video. You will obviously also be able to hold documents and other files as well (e.g. software installations). Measuring at 9 cm wide, 14.5 cm long, 2.5 cm in height and weighing just 250 grams, making the LaCie external hard-drive very light as well as portable. The hard-drive is portable in the way that it is very light, the only thing you have to take into account is that you will require a medium to large sized pocket or any form of bag in order to carry the device. You could always opt to just carrying it around in your hand, which is not very practical in everyday life. All external and internal hard-drives state a certain amount of memory capacity, but in fact ...

Review of LaCie Rugged Hard Disk Hard drive 250 GB

LaCie Hard Disk 500GB

Advantages: Price, Capacity, Reliability
Disadvantages: Size, Requires own power supply

I have owned this external hard drive for over a year and have found it to be an extremely reliable product. It has a 500GB capacity, which is more than enough for most people, and I also picked it up for a relatively low price, compared to other drives of a similar capacity on the market. It is a fairly large drive, and requires its own power supply, so it is definitely not a portable device. However, as a secondary drive to your desktop pc, it is more than capable, as it has reasonably fast transfer speeds. It is also pretty durable, as mine has fallen off of its desk more than once while running, and still works as good as new. It is extremely quick and easy to set up, taking a matter of seconds once the wires are all in place. I would definitelty reccommend this to a friend who required a cheap, reliable storage drive, but did ...

LaCie 1 TB Big Disk Hard Drive

Advantages: Capacity, looks, decent manual, cheap
Disadvantages: A bit slow, a lot to lose in one go

With people starting to amass more and more data on their PCs, the old methods of backup such as tape or CD & DVD are becoming woefully inadequate. As a result, by far the most cost efficient method for either storing data or backing it up is the external hard drive. That said, 1TB or 1 Terrabyte is a crazy amount of space and the sort of storage that would have kept a multinational company ticking over nicely ten years ago. The LaCie (pronounced Lassie, like the dog) 1TB unit is a reasonably basic device that only has a USB2 (although USB1 is supported) interface and comes with a suitable lead, external power supply and software CD. It can work with both PCs and Macs although by default it's formatted for PC use so Mac users will need to reformat it first but that's no hardship really. On first opening the box, it looks really ...
