Creative work happens everywhere. It happens on-location, in transit, and often under pressure. Seagate Technology Holdings plc, today announced the LaCie Rugged SSD4, a compact external solid-state drive (SSD) built for creators working beyond the four walls of a studio.
For filmmakers, photographers, and audio professionals who need reliable high-performance data storage, the Rugged SSD4 delivers up to 4000MB/s read and 3800MB/s write speeds. The drive’s USB 40Gbps port allows users to quickly transfer files and work directly from the drive across Mac, iPad, PC, and mobile phones.
Offers durability, sleek design and high capacity
Beyond speed, the Rugged SSD4 is IP54-rated for dust and water resistance and drop-tested to 3 meters. Its signature orange bumper, designed by Neil Poulton, reinforces its durability for remote shoots and on-the-go edits.
