New LaCie Rugged and d2 Storage Solutions
(Graphic: Business Wire)
LACIE RUGGED THUNDERBOLT USB-C
First, the new LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt™ USB-C combines iconic
Rugged toughness with USB-C compatibility and fast Thunderbolt
speeds. Users can store even more footage, and so carry fewer
devices, thanks to the industry-leading mobile HDD capacity up to
5TB. The LaCie Rugged features Seagate® BarraCuda® drives for
best-in-class reliability and performance. In addition, the 1TB SSD
version delivers speeds of up to 510MB/s1, a 30 percent increase
over the previous SSD generation. With these speeds, creative
professionals can transfer 100GB of content in about three minutes
and enjoy more responsive photo library browsing in Adobe®
Lightroom®.
Thanks to USB-C, the user can connect the LaCie Rugged drive to
USB 3.0-compatible computers as well as to USB-C and Thunderbolt 3
models. Plus, with an integrated Thunderbolt cable featuring
compatibility with first-generation Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2,
this LaCie Rugged drive can be used with more types of computers
than any other storage solution on the market. Shock, dust, and
water resistance means the LaCie Rugged drive is up for any
adventure—from treks on Mount Everest to being overnighted across
the country. The LaCie Rugged drive is also bus-powered for
complete mobility and is backed by a three-year limited
warranty.
LACIE d2 THUNDERBOLT 3
Next, the new LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3 is a great companion to
limited-capacity SSD-based laptops and all-in-one computers to
expand storage up to 10TB for professional bandwidth-intensive
creative applications. Featuring Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 speeds
through the USB-C port, the new LaCie d2 drive performs great on
late-model laptops such as the new MacBook Pro®—as well as on USB
3.0 computers. With industry-best capacities of up to 10TB the
LaCie d2 drive can easily store large photo and video projects. It
features a Seagate BarraCuda Pro 7200RPM hard disk drive for
industry-leading performance and reliability.
Featuring speeds of up to 240MB/s1, a ten percent improvement
over the previous generation, photographers can spend less time
moving files from camera cards into Adobe Lightroom. Dual
Thunderbolt 3 ports mean the user can daisy chain dual 4K displays,
a single 5K display or up to six total LaCie d2 drives—all through
a single cable connected to their computer. It's even possible to
power a compatible laptop2 such the latest MacBook Pro® through a
USB-C port. That’s one less cable cluttering up the desktop. The
LaCie d2 is also backed by a five-year limited warranty, the most
generous in the industry.
AVAILABILITY
The new LaCie Rugged drive will come in 2TB, 4TB and 5TB HDD and
500GB and 1TB SSD capacities starting at $249.99. The new LaCie d2
drive will come in 6TB, 8TB and 10TB capacities starting at
$429.99. The LaCie Rugged and LaCie d2 drives will be available at
