If you don't have a backup drive for your computer, we suggest that you get one right away, and we suggest the LaCie Rugged model. You don't want to take a chance on losing all of your very critical information. Emails, correspondence, notes, contacts, receipts, reports, projects. Many times, once your information is gone it can't be retrieved. Without a backup drive, you're in trouble.
For the speediest, most rugged, portable storage, LaCie's USB 3.0 Thunderbolt is the drive for you. This solid-state drive is for either Mac or PC (for those with Thunderbolt). LaCie's Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt is the first bus-powered USB 3.0 portable Thunderbolt drive to use SSD as its storage. You can get it from 120GB to 1TB of storage.
Setup will literally take only minutes and your ready for backing up. The first complete backup will take a few hours and then after that it will only take minutes to update via the Automatic Backup. Your work won't get derailed by external drive and computer incompatibility since this drive works with both Mac and PC. It's also USB 3.0 backwards compatible so it will connect to any standard computer! It's so tiny and portable, a must-have addition to your Mac or PC.
As far as protection goes, this rugged little guide provides superior data protection from accidental drops (up to 4 feet), any vibrations and shocks, and it even provides protection for your actual data with AES 256-bit encryption. It will give you piece of mind on many levels.
This drive is one of the fastest portables you can find. Its rugged aluminum case and removable rubber layer add protection not seen on comparable drives. It's a no brainer purchase for all of your backup and external drive needs.
