Amazon.com Product Description:
The LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 301175 160 GB USB 2.0/FireWire400/FireWire800 Portable Hard Drive is built to survive the harsh elements of the real world. This durable, portable storage drive offers 160 GB of storage along with a universal high-speed USB 2.0 connection and FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 interfaces. This high-performance drive is built with a rugged, drop-resistant aluminum alloy shell and a shock-resistant rubber bumper, making it the ultimate solution for your on-the-go data needs.
Ultra-Portable Data Shuttle
If you travel a lot with your data, the Rugged All-Terrain is the drive is for you. Perfect for users who need backup, storage and large-volume exchange for office files, photos, music and even video clips, the Rugged All-Terrain is powered by the FireWire or USB connection, which means that it uses the power of the connected computer to operate and doesn't require an additional AC adapter or power cord.
The Rugged All-Terrain offers the triple-interface convenience of high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity (which is USB 1.1 backward compatible) along with both FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 interfaces. With this triple-interface functionality, along with the drive's driver-free and plug-and-play features, exchanging data between Macs and PCs is as easy as it gets. The Rugged All-Terrain even comes with a USB power-sharing cable for low powered USB hubs/computers. (The Rugged All-Terrain requires no extra drivers for Windows XP/2000/Vista and Mac OS X operating systems.)
This high-performance drive features a spin speed of 5400 rpm, an 8 MB cache, and a transfer rate of up to 800 Mbits per second via the FireWire 800 connection. Measuring a mere 3.5 x 1 x 5.7 inches (WxHxD) and weighing less than nine ounces, the Rugged All-Terrain is designed to travel and will fit easily in your briefcase or backpack. Take it with you on business trips and vacations, or use it for transferring files from one desktop computer to another.
Included with the drive are LaCie software bundles to enhance its performance and functionality, including LaCie's 1-Click Backup Software (for Mac and PC) and SilverKeeper Backup Software (Mac).
Mobile, All-Terrain Protection
Designed exclusively for LaCie by world-renowned designer Neil Poulton, the Rugged All-Terrain is built like an off-road vehicle, ready to withstand the bumps and bruises of your travels. Its unique, scratch-protected aluminum shell and shock-resistant rubber bumper make it especially resistant to harsh elements. In fact, the drive is designed to withstand vertical drops of up to 35 inches while in non-operating mode. (Dropping the drive while it's in operation, however, could cause damage, so be careful!)
For additional styling points, the Rugged All-Terrain can be outfitted with additional colorful bumpers that will keep your drive protected. Easy-to-change and durable once on, they are made of the same quality rubber as the original bright orange Rugged sleeve. The optional set, which is sold separately, includes green-grey, blue-grey, and black bumpers.
The LaCie 301175 Rugged All-Terrain Portable Hard Drive is backed by a 2-year limited warranty.

- Love It-Best addition to a MPB
I have a two year old Mac Book Pro with a 100 gig hard drive inside of it and had been using an external Lacie D2 drive for bringing out to gigs (I store all of the audio samples/songs on an external drive). The problem is that it was too bulky and heavy and had a bulky power brick that I had to bring along, instantly adding unnecessary weight to my lap bag.
So I looked into the Lacie rugged drive and was a bit skeptical about it because it was a 5400rpm instead of the D2's 7200.

Rating: - Lacie Rugged - Fantastic!
I had been looking for another portable hard drive - I have a few. I have some requirements that are not easy to satisfy. But lo! I just got my new "Lacie Rugged." 160 GB. (Windows or Mac - I use Macs.).

Silliness aside, to my surprise, it came with four ... Read More
Rating: - The Perfect Workable Storage Solution
The Good: Bought this as a means to add additional, workable storage for my Mac. Needed something that could back up large files quickly but still give me the ability to work off of the drive when needed. The fact that it is one of just a few drives out there that can accept many different kinds of connections (USB, Firewire 400, and most importantly fast Firewire 800) makes this drive perfect. I have yet to drop this thing but am told it is fine to drop from a height of about 3 feet. It is also designed ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect for Travel
I needed something that was light, rugged, didn't require an external power supply and didn't take up a lot of space.
This works perfectly!
