LaCie has proudly introduced the RuggedKey USB 3.0 drive. Designed by Neil Poulton, the drive features a rubber bumper that protects it from an extreme temperature and a 100-meter drop. The LaCie RuggedKey is also IP-54 certified, which is water- and dust-resistant. The LaCie RuggedKey provides up to 100 MB/s transfer rates, allowing it to transfer an HD movie, 3,000 photos or a 5GB file in less than 60 seconds. Available in a 16GB and a 32GB variants, the LaCie RuggedKey USB 3.0 drive is priced at $39.99 and $69.99, respectively. [PCLaunches]
Encountered much violence lately? Then consider yourself a target for Lacie’s new ruggedized USB 3.0 stick, which is now available at the company’s online store. Yes, it’s as fat as it looks in the SanDisk Extreme comparison photo after the break, but most of that girth comes from the rubbery orange cushion designed to protect your data from water, extreme temperatures and 100-meter drops. Exactly how much of that protection you’d retain even after removing the orange part isn’t yet clear, but we can vouch for the fact that an 850GB video file made it across from the RuggedKey to a Retina MacBook Pro at almost exactly the claimed maximum transfer rate of 150MB/s. The write speed wasn’t so stunning compared to the SanDisk — only around 40MB/s when data travelled the other way, or a quarter of the speed of a 64GB Extreme stick — but then, at $40 for 16GB and $70 for 32GB, the Lacie also comes in a lot cheaper.

LaCie has launched a new toughened memory stick, the LaCie RuggedKey, cladding a toughened flash chip in a resilient rubber bumper. The RuggedKey, which will be available in 16GB and 32GB capacities, connects via USB 3.0 and is capable of withstanding 100m drops, extremes of heat and cold, and IP-54 level dust and water. Perhaps best of all, it looks like a little neon grenade.
There’s also data security in electronic form rather than just hardware, with 256-bit AES encryption to stop access to anybody bar those who have the right password. It’s also paired with Wuala Secure Cloud Storage, which automatically mirrors a locked-down copy of any data added to the RuggedKey in a cloud drive accessible from your browser.
LaCie claims the RuggedKey’s USB 3.0 connection is capable of transferring a 5GB file (or an HD movie, or 3,000 photos) in under a minute, with peak speeds of up to 150MB/s. That will obviously depend on your computer, of course.
The LaCie RuggedKey is priced from £34.95 ($54) and will be available in 16GB and 32GB capacities. The drive has just dropped onto the SlashGear test bench, and so we’ll have a review for you very soon.
