LaCie 8TB Rugged RAID Shuttle Gen 2 External Hard Drive

The LaCie 8TB Rugged RAID Shuttle USB 3.1 Gen 2 External Hard Drive easily fits in your bag and is designed for film sets, photo shoots, and music studios. Capture and transport data wherever you are due to rain, dust, and crush resistance, including drop resistance up to 4'. The Rugged RAID Shuttle also features hardware encryption with password protection.

LaCie's 8TB Rugged RAID Shuttle features a storage capacity of 8TB that is split over two 4TB hard drives, which support hardware RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 0 will stripe both drives together to deliver fast read and write speeds, while RAID 1 will mirror the contents of one drive to the other to create a 1:1 backup copy of your data. While RAID 0 delivers better performance, there is no data redundancy, so if your drive fails, everything will be lost. If you're thinking about using RAID 1 for its data redundancy, this comes at the cost of drive performance. RAID 1 will also reduce the capacity of your drive by half since it uses one of the drives for redundancy. So, under RAID 1, you'll only have 4TB of usable space.

Compatible with Windows 7 and later or macOS 10.10 and later, the Rugged RAID Shuttle has a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface that delivers speeds of up to 250 MB/s. It is also compatible with USB 3.0 (3.1 Gen 1), USB 2.0, and Thunderbolt, and is powered using bus power from the corresponding interface. Included is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C to Type-C cable. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year Rescue Data Recovery Services plan and also included is a 1-month membership to the Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps plan.

Note: The Adobe Creative Cloud membership must be redeemed by January 31, 202, during product registration. A network connection and an Adobe ID are required. Available only to users 13 and older. Not available in all countries. See Adobe's site for more info.
