help LaCie Rugged SSD (HDD Version) FAQ
Is this LaCie Rugged model an SSD or a mechanical hard drive?
The HDD version uses a spinning mechanical disk despite the confusing catalog title. LaCie sells separate Rugged SSD products that are much faster but usually cost more per terabyte.
How fast is the LaCie Rugged USB-C HDD in real use?
LaCie rates current Rugged portable HDD models at around 130 MB/s. That is suitable for backups and moving footage, but far below the roughly 1,000 MB/s possible from some Rugged SSD models.
Will the LaCie Rugged HDD work with both Mac and Windows?
Yes, provided the drive is formatted with a file system both computers can read, such as exFAT. USB-C models can also connect to many USB-A computers with the appropriate cable.
Does the orange bumper make the data safe after any drop?
The bumper improves resistance to drops, shock, rain, and dust, but it cannot make a mechanical disk indestructible. Important files should still exist on at least one additional drive or cloud backup.
