Rugged Mini 1TB USB 3.0 Portable Drive

The LaCie Rugged Mini LAC301558 is a 1TB portable external hard drive with a 2.5" form factor and a distinctive orange rubber sleeve. It connects via a USB 3.0 interface that is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports. The drive is designed to withstand shock, rain and pressure for data protection during transport.

Creative Professionals and Mobile Users

This drive suits photographers, videographers and field workers who need durable high-capacity storage that survives rough handling and outdoor conditions. The password protection software helps secure sensitive project files on the move. Buyers who require solid-state speeds, built-in hardware encryption or capacities beyond 1TB should consider other options.

USB 3.0 Interface Determines Transfer Speed

The USB 3.0 connection provides theoretical transfer rates up to 5Gbps, roughly four times faster than USB 2.0. An 800MB video file transfers in approximately 6 seconds under optimal conditions. Actual throughput depends on the host computer's port version and system workload.
