4TB LaCie Rugged RAID with Thunderbolt Unveiled

January 12, 2015 By Eric Reagan

LaCie Rugged RAID 4TB-3

LaCie announced its new Rugged RAID drive at CES 2015 with a Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 interface. The new drive uses two internal hard drives that are preconfigured in hardware RAID 0 for sustained performance of up to 240 MB/s.

LaCie Rugged RAID 4TB-4

The drive is bus-powered when connected via Thunderbolt and includes a power brick to use when connecting via USB 3.0. It can be manually configured to RAID 1 as well using a hardware switch that is accessible from the drive’s external case.

LaCie Rugged RAID 4TB-2

It is tested to withstand drops of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) and 1 ton of pressure. LaCie reps tell me that you can literally drive over it with a car. With its endcap in place, the LaCie Rugged is IP 54–rated for superior resistance to dust and water splashing — even during operation. The Thunderbolt cable is hardwired into place, which is how you get the rating dust and waterproof rating during use.

LaCie Rugged RAID 4TB-5

The LaCie Rugged RAID in 4TB capacity will be available during the first quarter of 2015 for $449.99. Look for it here at B&H Photo.
