Rugd Ride Thunderbolt Hard Drive is available to buy from lackey.com from today, and before release, we have left out to give it Macrumors Take a look at the readers’ design, speed and features.
What’s in the box?
The Lacey Ragd Ride vessels themselves are with 4 TB hard drives, which includes a power adapter for use if the protective orange rubber cover, an additional port cover, a fast start guide, a USB cable and the hard drive are plugged through USB 3.0. There are several plug adapters for travelers to stay.
With Thunderbolt, the angry campaign does not require the bus -powered and power adapter to work.
Design and features
For a 4 TB hard drive that is also shock, dust and water resistant, the laci ragod expedition is impressively carrying. It is not so big than the existing angry hard drive of Lucky, 1.3 x 3.6 x 5.8 inches and weight measure between 1.2 pounds. In that form, it fits in a purse, bag, backpack or suitcase for travel.
Some of you can already own a lace rugd hard drive or have seen a personally, but for those of you who are not, the hard drive comes to a protected rubber hand that is an interesting shade of bright orange. The sleeve surrounds the edges of the interior brushing metallic hard drive and is textured to add the grip.
Around the edges, there is an opening where the built-in Orange Thunderbolt Cable can be tacked while the Thunderbolt connector and USB port have a removable cap at the top of Cover K. If you can lose any one includes an additional one in Lucky.
The built -in Thunderbolt Cable is easy to get out of the rubber hand groove while plugging on the hard drive and it comes back quickly when you need to pack up. With some hard drives included in the cables, they are hard to back up, but it is not here. Integrated cables are great because you can’t lose them and they are always on hand. The Thunderbolt Cable is more than 12 inches and it is a good length, but the inclusive USB power adapter cable is a bit short, it is a bit smaller in view that it needs to be plugged in an outlet. The USB 3.0 Cable is also short, but it is best to have USB 3.0 options as a backup if you need to transfer data to the computer without a Thunderbolt port.
With rubber sleeve and protective port cover, the rating of the rugded expedition IP 54 has dust and water resistance ratings
When it is not operational, the ragged expedition can survive up to five feet, so it should be safe enough when carrying the backpack or suitcase while traveling, and it successfully survived several drop tests conducted by us successfully on various surfaces like concrete and wood.
According to Lacey, the ragged expedition can be tolerated by 1 ton of car, the claim that we have not examined. That particular durability will survive the real world use situation as the hard drive that uses to assure the metric users to assure the users of the aircraft. We sat on it, set foot on it and put it on the bottom of a heavy sofa and it came out on the unsathem.
Lucky’s existing angry line is known for physical stability, which is why hard drives are popular with professional photographers, video makers and other creative. At the end of a photo or video shoot, data is often stored in several laci angry drives because they are sent, thrown around, thrown around, discarded and transported, and this is also true in anger campaign.
Inside the angry raid, there are two 2TB drives to support the RAID 0/1 options by favorable for speed and savings space or data redemption. There is no way to replace the hard drive as the last user without the product’s warranty, but the drives inside the drives can be accessed after removing the screws.
Angry campaign is bus-driven while connecting through Thunderbolt and no external energy source is required, but it needs to be plugged in when connected via USB 3.0 so there is enough energy for both drives.
Software and performance
When the angry expedition is plugged in to the Mac or Windows machine for the first time, it prompts you to open the Lacey setup assistant for hard drive up and running. The first setup option helps users to divide the drive, either for perfectly use with the Mac system or for use between Mac and Windows system. Selecting a Mac setup simply opting for HFS+ format, while choosing a dual setup using FAT32 format.
HFS+ Windows are not compatible with machines and Fat 32 is compatible with both systems, but it limit the maximum single file size 4GB. Windows users also have an NTFS formatting option.
From there, Laci asks users to register and activate their warranties before going to a screen that allows the Lacey software to be installed. The Laci files are provided by Lacey Desktop Manager to manage multiple laci devices from any computer to back up Laci files. Installation A.
By default, the angry campaign has been set to 0 raids to take advantage of the entire 4 TBS of the disk space, but it can be configured to 1 expedition following Lucky’s instructions. Select two small rides at the bottom of the hard drive and make sure the buttons, which must be pushed with a paperclip, is a process that is somewhat hassle. The RAID selection button changes the RAID configuration twice and sets the confirmed button again. If you indicate a flashing or stiff LED raid setting, you need to pull the rubber skin to see it. You need to do this when connected to Thunderbolt.
According to Lacey, the raid ride of the angry ride will see the speed of reading/writing up to 240MB/s and read the speed of RAID 1 115/120/see the speed of writing. In our exam with our HFS+ format, we have seen the speed of reading/writing on Raid 0, which was on average 240MB/S on average. With USB 3.0, the writing speed was approximately 240MB/s, but the reading speed was on average 230MB/s.
RAID 1 Writing speed was almost average with Thunderbolt and USB 3.0, but the reading speed was slow to us, with Thunderbolt about 100mb/S and USB 3.0 with a average of 97MB/s with USB 3.0.
