Like its other rugged drives, the LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 features a scratch–resistant aluminum shell, internal shock absorbers, and a shock–resistant rubber bumper. 

Other highlights include a software suite for backups, 10GB of online storage (for one year) and backward compatibility with USB 2.0. And because it features a notebook drive inside, the unit can be powered over USB as well.

Availability

The LaCie Rugged USB 3.0 will be available next month for a suggested $149.99 (500GB capacity).
