All-Points Data Protection

With the LaCie Rugged Safe, your data is protected both physically, and with a powerful encryption algorithm. Based on the award-winning LaCie Rugged design, created by industrial designer Neil Poulton, the LaCie Rugged Safe provides one of the toughest, strongest and most secure solutions on the market. Its rubber sleeve and internal rubber bumpers make your hard disk shock-resistant and its aluminum shell protects against scratches.

SSD: Ultimate Performance and Durability

Opt for the SSD version for ultimate durability and improved transfer speeds, as well as a wider operating temperature range. Unlike hard drives, the Rugged Safe SSD protects your data even if it falls off your desk while turned on. With no moving parts, SSDs feature excellent protection against vibration and drops, giving you the ultimate in physical security against any misfortune. SSDs also deliver significant gains in seek time, letting you access and transfer files faster than with hard drives.

Hardware Encryption Protection

The LaCie Rugged Safe secures your data with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 128-bit hardware encryption, rendering the drive impenetrable even if it is removed from its enclosure. Thanks to this technology ratified by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), you can transfer and transport your sensitive data with no concerns for unauthorized access or intellectual property theft.

Data Access Safeguard

With added biometric authentication technology, the LaCie Rugged Safe guarantees total protection for your highly confidential files. The protection is way more than just a password; the fingerprint access is an unbreakable code to make your data invulnerable. Once registered, a simple finger swipe locks and unlocks the LaCie Rugged Safe. Up to ten different users can be registered, with customized access privileges such as user administration or simple read/write access.

Pre-formatted in FAT 32, this powerful and flexible storage vault offers the speed of FireWire 800 along with the convenient FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces for true universal connectivity.
