Thanks! Glad you liked the video. The Rugged offers higher durability with up to 2 meters drop resistance, water and dust resistance (IP54), and faster performance options including Thunderbolt and SSD variants, making it ideal for professionals needing robust and high-speed storage. The Rugged Mini is more affordable, with up to 1.2 meters drop resistance, and typically uses USB 3.0 interfaces, suitable for general use where moderate durability and good performance are sufficient.
@@jumpingbeantech which one would you recommend better for someone who wants to save a lot of video and photo storage? I'm thinking of getting the 2TB one but not sure to get the rugged mini or regular rugged. I'm mostly going to use it at home and not carry it around everywhere!
Hi, I bought the Rugged Mini for home use and found it to be a great choice. It's more affordable and highly portable, which is convenient if you ever need to take it somewhere. If performance is a top priority for you, consider the Rugged, as it offers faster speeds and additional durability features.
Why the speed test shows only 130 MB/s, since it is Thunderbird compatible I expected something like more than 1GB/s... which kind of port it has been tested on?
@@thias1 The Lacie USB C I have uses a SATA 2 interface, so SATA SSDs get limited. I'm assuming all Lacie Rugged drives that come with HDDs use a SATA 2 interface, users won't be able to tell the difference unless they upgrade the drive. I still consider the SSD upgrade worth it, since I got my Crucial MX500 60% off. It gave me over twice the bandwidth, MUCH faster response times, much higher power efficiency, and EXTREME ruggedness. It's not water resistance (might fix that with some Vasoline), but that's what my Sabrent Rugged NVME Enclosure is for.
hey nice video 👍 can touch tell me please what is the difference between rugged version and rugged mini version!?? only different usb cables ?

Lacie Rugged mini supports up to 130mb/s on usb c port.
Slapping a fast connector onto a regular HDD won't make it any faster

No. Thanks :)
