LaCie<\/a> has introduced its 4TB “Rugged RAID<\/a>“, which brings RAID 0 and RAID 1 storage options to its line of portable hard drives called “Rugged<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

True to its name (which in Spanish means robust), it has been designed to withstand a drop of 1.5 meters and resist a crushing of a ton of pressure. In addition, its case makes it much more resistant to dust and water stains. <\/p>\n

Its main connection is the Thunderbolt cable, which works both to move data from the drive and to bring power to the unit. It also has a USB 3.0 port, but this is not capable of being the power cable, as its 5 watts are not enough to run the two included disks, interfaces and hardware RAID controller. <\/p>\n

According to the company, with the “Rugged RAID” we will be able to reach speeds of 240 MB\/s. As we have already said, we have two storage options, in RAID 0 to take advantage of the full capacity of the disk (4 TB) but with little protection, or in RAID 1 (also called mirrored), which reduces the storage capacity by half but ensures that if there is a failure in one of the disks we will not lose any data. <\/p>\n
