Lacie Rugged 500GB Orange Hard Drive
Hi there,
I just purchased a Lacie 500 GB Rugged hard drive. It is the one with the orange rubber which protects the case. It is also self powered through a firewire 800 cable that came with it.
I have heard great reviews on this product. However there is no fan. I do alot of editing with Final Cut Pro, and I am wondering if it will be a problem if I keep this drive running through extended editing sessions.
Also, I am editing with SD footage. It has worked flawlessly so far. It takes no time to catch up and it never freezes.
Thanks! Peter

I’ve used these, but don’t own one, never had a lick of trouble.
Have a wonderful day.

Ditto Chris – and I use mine in the field on a MBP+MXO2 for media capture/playback. Hasn’t missed a beat!

All LaCie’s 2.5″ portable drive options are pretty solid … don’t suffer from the same issues / reputation of their larger 3.5″ based brothers. That said, the big orange bumper is a big orange gimmick … I ‘ve not found them to be any more or less rugged than any other 2.5″ based portable drive.

I agree Andy but they sure are easy to find when piled up with a whole lotta other computer stuff!

Can I do some light editing with my new Macbook Pro, Final Cut Pro and using the Portable 500 gig rugged orange 7200 drive to capture and edit with?
Thanks in advance.
