LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt USB-C 2TB Review

To test real life performance of a drive we use a mix of folder/file types and by using the FastCopy utility (which gives a time as well as MB/s result) we record the performance of the drive reading from & writing to a 256GB Samsung SSD850 PRO.

60GB Steam folder – 29,521 files.
50GB File folder – 28,523 files.
12GB Movie folder – 24 files (mix of Blu-ray and 4K files).
10GB Photo folder – 621 files (mix of .png, raw and .jpeg images).
10GB Audio folder – 1,483 files (mix of mp3 and .flac files).

When it comes to transferring real life data, the Rugged sailed through our tests without any problems although the performance did drop off when writing the small bity files of the 50GB file folder.

As the Rugged uses a conventional 5,400rpm HDD, data transfer times are never going to set the world on fire.
