A direct link to the Toolkit software would have been more straightforward and we feel better documentation is needed for novice users.

We found this to be a bit of a fiddly process as you first have to go through a registration page online.

Simply disconnecting the drive locks it automatically, requiring a password to access it.īut first you have to get the software required, which is not supplied on the drive. The Rugged Secure is the first ruggedised LaCie drive with built-in hardware encryption (AES-256) for super-secure data storage on Windows or Mac. Ruggedised RAID storage with a built-in SD card slot that photographers will love. Most standard size laptops can power the drive without the need for the external power unit. The drive comes with an external power supply, which is needed for computers that don't have enough power to drive it (for example, the Microsoft Surface Go). The drive is also shock, dust, crush and water resistant, has a 3-year warranty and data recovery service options. The USB-C port gives it compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 but you can also connect with USB 3.0. While around half as fast as the fastest SSDs (solid-state drives), this is plenty fast for most people and the built-in SD card slot makes it ideal for on-the-go photographers. In RAID 0 mode it transfers data at up to 240 MB/s (megabytes per second). Mac users need to use the built-in macOS Time Machine program after formatting the drives to the native Mac file system. If changes are made to either folder, then both the folders will sync with those changes. The 'mirroring' feature lets you select a specific folder that you would like to be copied identically on the LaCie hard drive. The Toolkit software gives Windows users the ability to use the RAID drives as backup storage, including creating a continuous backup of specific file types or folders. JBOD means you can see and use each drive in the RAID individually as if they were connected as separate external drives. The RAID software tells you how much space will be available to use in each of the supported RAID modes – 0, 1 and JBOD (just a bunch of disks) mode. The LaCie Toolkit and RAID Management software need to be downloaded and installed to get the most out of this drive. You can also set it to RAID 1 (mirrored) for data security, with data written to both drives identically. By default, the 4TB (terabyte) Rugged RAID Pro, which contains two drives, is set to RAID 0 (zero), also known as striping, for fastest performance.
