When you think about it, if your external hard drive is going to be continually dragged around with you then the chances of an accidental drop are much higher compared to those that live the common sedentary, desktop life. Why take a risk of having to rely on successful data recovery if you can buy a rugged external hard drive able to take some knocks?

The LaCie Rugged’s shell is an aluminium alloy and surrounds the hard drive mounted on four independent suspensions. The Rugged’s shell is surrounded by a shock absorbing bumper. Combined these measures give the LaCie Rugged the ability to survive a table high drop (35 in - 900 mm in non-operating mode). If you do happen to drop the drive you shouldn’t have any trouble finding it with the bumper being an attractive but, bright safety orange.
