LaCie Rugged SSD, 1TB, USB-C 3.1

The LaCie Rugged SSD is yet another great addition to the premium line of durable, portable drives. With capacities up 2TB, the Rugged features multi-device compatibility (it comes bundled with a USB-C–to–USB Type A cable cord), great performance at just a shade under 1GB/s in transfer speeds, and ultra-durability, the latter which features drop, shock, water and dust resistance. This is a solution perfect for those who expect their storage device to go through the gauntlet. The LaCie Rugged SSD also showed some great performance during our tests. First up was the BlackMagic, where it recorded 913.6MB/s read and 882.7MB/s write, while 2MB sequential (1 thread) managed to hit 790.8MB/s read and 759.3MB/s write and 2MB random showed saw 603.1MB/s read and 777.6MB/s write. With a 4-thread workload (which pushes the drive a bit more), we saw even better performance. Here, it was able to reach 908.1MB/s read and 947.7MB/s write for 2MB sequential transfer speeds, and 828.2MB/s read and 947.1MB/s write for 2MB random. It’s hard not to recommend a LaCie Rugged drive. Like all models from this line, the SSD version offers consumers and professionals a unique solution in the portable storage market. It’s bright orange rubber-shell makes it a great SSD for those needing an ultra-durable solution that protects against falls, shocks, elements and dogs. Coupling this with its speedy NVMe performance makes the LaCie Rugged SSD a complete package.
