LaCie Rugged SSD4

The LaCie Rugged SSD4 utilizes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, allowing for blazing-fast transfer speeds of up to 2000 MB/s when connected to a compatible port. This makes it exceptionally fast for offloading large 4K video files directly from cameras or laptops. However, speeds will be significantly slower if plugged into an older standard USB 3.0 port.

The IP67 rating means the solid-state drive is completely dust-tight (the 6) and can be submerged in up to 1 meter of freshwater for up to 30 minutes (the 7). Combined with its reinforced, drop-resistant rubber housing, it is built to withstand harsh outdoor environments. This makes it a favorite among field photographers and filmmakers.

Yes, to achieve the maximum advertised speed of 2000 MB/s, you must use the included USB-C cable and connect it to a host computer that supports the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard (20Gbps). A standard USB-C to USB-A cable will bottleneck the drive to much slower speeds. The drive includes the correct high-speed cable in the box.

Yes, the LaCie Rugged SSD4 features the brand's iconic bright orange rubber bumper and a reinforced housing designed to withstand drops up to 1.5 meters (about 5 feet). Because it uses flash storage rather than spinning magnetic disks, it is inherently much more resistant to physical shock than a traditional hard drive. It also includes three years of data rescue services for extra peace of mind.
