To those of you who have seen the Rugged data device from LaCie, meet the LaCie Rugged Mini.
LaCie has always been known to make some of the best tech products on the market. The company is bringing back one of its older models, but this time, it's been shrunken down. The LaCie Rugged Mini is a compact, pocket-sized version of its big brother. It has a USB 3.0 drive, which runs up to four times faster than the 2.0 version, and it comes with password protection. The design itself, however, is what's most interesting. This bad boy can take all sorts of punishment with its orange rubber casing. It's water resistant and shock absorbent. Not convinced? The company claims you can run a car over the Rugged Mini and it'll still work. Hard drives have never been so badass.
