In the world of photography, Ben Andrews, the Imaging Labs manager at Digital Camera World and Future, is akin to the Batman of equipment testing. His lab, a veritable Batcave of photography, houses an extensive collection of tested equipment.
Recently, Ben Andrews has put the latest addition to his arsenal through its paces - the LaCie Rugged SSD4 Portable Storage system. This rugged device, manufactured by Seagate, is part of LaCie's lineup, a brand owned and launched by Seagate.
The LaCie Rugged SSD4 is designed to withstand the rigours of the real world, boasting a drop resistance of up to 3 meters. Its construction, which contains a minimum of 35% post-consumer recycled materials by weight, further underscores its eco-friendly credentials.
The SSD4 also boasts an IP54 dust- and water-resistant rating, making it a reliable companion for outdoor adventures. It is backward-compatible with USB standards from version 2.0, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices.
In terms of connectivity, the SSD4 adopts the USB4 interface, enabling data transfer speeds of up to 4000MB/s read and 3800MB/s write. It is compatible with USB-C mobile devices, including Android and iOS phones and tablets, as well as Thunderbolt 3, 4, and 5 devices, and PC and Mac.
The LaCie Rugged SSD4 is available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, with respective prices of $134.99/£139.99, $249.99/£249.99, and $479.99/£449.99. Each purchase comes with a 3-year warranty, a two-month Adobe Creative Cloud Pro membership, and Rescue Data Recovery Services.
The Adobe Creative Cloud Pro membership includes access to Adobe Firefly, a groundbreaking AI-powered tool that can transform your images and videos with just a few clicks.
The SSD4's classic orange rubberized bumper not only adds a touch of style but also enhances its durability. It's the perfect companion for offloading video footage captured on a phone, making it an essential tool for content creators on the go.
