LaCie Rugged Triple USB 3.0 User manual

Four Levels of Rugged Protection
The Rugged is one of our most popular hard disks, and it’s the
best way to protect your data. It conforms to military standard
810-F, and can support drops from up to two meters. It helps
you carry your files with confidence, no matter where the road
takes you, thanks to its shock-absorbing sleeve, aluminum anti-
scratch casing, internal rubber bumpers, and a 1000g shock-
resistant hard drive.
A Fifth Level of Data Security
LaCie AES 256-bit encryption software comes standard with the
Rugged Triple. We’ve made it easy for you to create a password-
protected area on your drive where you can securely store all of
your confidential information. AES 256-bit encryption technology is
one of the most robust on the market today, and makes the Rugged
Triple more secure than ever.
Triple Interface for the Best Performance
The LaCie Rugged Triple Hard Disk provides universal connectivity:
you’ve got the superior speeds of USB 3.0 and FireWire 800, and
full backward compatibility with FireWire 400 and USB 2.0. You can
transfer a 700MB video file in less than 7 seconds with USB 3.0,
compared to 25 seconds with USB 2.0.*** Additionally, you can use
the LaCie Mac®USB 3.0 Driver to improve data transfer speed on
your Mac (up to a 30% performance increase compared to FireWire
800). Whether your goal is super speed or complete compatibility,
the Rugged Triple has everything you need.
User-Friendly Software Suite Included
The Rugged Triple also offers easy setup and automatic backup
on both PC and Mac computers. It also features an automatic Eco
mode that lowers the power consumption by up to 40% when not
in use, increasing the battery life of your notebook. In addition,
you get 10GB of Wuala Online Storage included for one year to
securely store and share your data online.
