LaCie’s Rugged XL: 1TB of ready-for-anything storage

Clearly LaCie‘s going for that “timeless” look, ’cause the Rugged XL looks precisely like the original Rugged that launched over three years ago. The drive, which was unsurprisingly designed by Neil Poulton, touts a durable aluminum casing with external and internal shock absorbers, USB 2.0 and eSATA connectors along with a software suit to handle your backups. Packed within is a single 1TB drive, and externally, there’s a “warm orange LED strip” to either keep you informed of drive status or just look stupendously fashionable, one. It’s up for grabs today (or it should be soon, anyway) for $159.99, and no, the orange exterior cannot be swapped for a non-DOT-approved hue.
