Product Overview. The LaCie Rugged Mini drive shares features with LaCie's popular Rugged drive, like shock resistance, drop resistance, and rubber sleeve for added protection. But the LaCie Rugged Mini is also rain- and pressure resistant—you can drive over it with a 1-ton car, and it still works! Its small size makes it completely mobile, and its tough exterior provides protection against accidental drops, shock, or pressure. The Rugged Mini is the most compact member of the LaCie Rugged drive family and will appeal to a wide range of users. Use Cases. Students: Store music, video, and confidential school documents on a secure device that fits in a backpack. Travelers: Protect valuable data from loss, theft, or accident while on the road. Photographers: Small form factor and toughness make this product perfect for use in the field or to safely deliver large files to customers and partners, and encryption adds an extra layer of intellectual property protection. Videographers: Perfect for shuttling dailies or other footage to the studio and transfering files quickly thanks to USB 3.0. Product Specs.
