INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the User Manual for the LaCie Rugged RAID. Your Rugged

RAID features two interfaces: Thunderbolt technology and SuperSpeed

USB 3.0. Both connections allow you to copy huge amounts of data at

fast transfer rates. Since it is bus powered, the Thunderbolt technology

cable gives you mobility while the USB 3.0 is backward compatible for

universal connectivity with USB 2.0 devices.

With options for RAID 0 or RAID 1, the Rugged RAID is ideal for videographers, photographers, and heavy data

users that demand extraordinary performance and protection both in the office and the field.

This manual guides you through the process of connecting your LaCie product. If you have questions, consult

the Getting Help page.

The Ingress Protection (IP) rating is a standard for defining the types of protection supported by equipment and

devices. Users should review the IP two-digit code to understand the conditions that the device can withstand.

The two digits are independent, with each number representing a different level of protection.

Your LaCie Rugged RAID is rated IP 54.

5: Protection against dust from entering the device’s internal mechanism.

■

4: Protection against splashing water from any angle.

■

The LaCie Rugged RAID is also protected when it is dropped from heights up to 1.5 meters / 5 feet (in

non-operating mode).

Important info on IP 54 and the removable cover: The LaCie Rugged RAID’s IP 54 rating is valid when

the cover is securely fastened on the device. You can attach the cover when using the integrated

Thunderbolt cable. However, the cover cannot be attached when using the USB 3.0 port.
