LaCie RuggedKey

World champion skydivers Raphaël Coudray and Alexandre Gillard (a LaCie employee) drop-test the LaCie RuggedKey from 100 meters. Find out if the RuggedKey - or the data it contains - survives the fall.

In addition to 100-meter drop resistance, the LaCie RuggedKey features USB 3.0 speeds up to 150MB/s and AES 256-bit software encryption. Truly the key for a rugged lifestyle.

People of Lacie's "Ruggedness Testing & Displaying It In a Cool Ad Division" I thought you might want to take a look at the following YT video.. 0_0

"iPad Survives 100,000+ Foot Fall From Space Near Area 51 (High-Res) "

It is by a case manufacturer that I have NO association with so NOT wanting to spam your site, just wanted to share with you how much cooler a drop is from the edge of space!

"you tube com/watch?v=X4xNcF6T7Is"

It would rock if you considered a similar demo for us! :)

Thanks for sharing that example. 100,000 feet is a long way to fall!

et jusque combien de mètres sur une chaussée en granit ou en ciment ?

Ce test en parachute était juste pour le fun. La LaCie RuggedKey a aussi été lancée avec succès d’une hauteur de 100 mètres sur une surface en béton. Elle a obtenu la certification militaire prouvant également sa résistance à 26 chutes de 90 cm, à peu près la hauteur d’un bureau. Elle a enfin subi, avec succès, 3 chutes successives de 10 mètres de haut sur une surface dure. N’hésitez pas à partager vos autres idées de tests!

Try not droping it on grass for a change.

lame! it doesn't weigh anything. a tiny little usb drive covered in rubber or plastic. if this impresses anyone they need to have their brains physics engine checked.

[KillWithFire12]

Well it's not going to gain more speed from 100000 feet than a from a few hundred meters, but it's a pretty cool video though.

a tiny orange usb stick from the edge of space *poooof* would disappear if not for flashing lights, rainbow parashoot and GPS

I love the way this thing looks looks like a mini grenade, supposes i'll have to take up a lifestyle to match the drive, rock climbing will do.

This video would have been meaningfull if it was a portable hdd. But a pendrive?

[Filippo Solari]

incredibile!!!

[GhostByte13]

Dommage que le personnel Europe de LaCie n' ait pas sauté en même temps,

leur incompétence est hélas supérieure à la qualité du matériel LaCie .

[Robert LeBlanc]

BTW, I'm lovin my LaCie external BR burner. Yeah, I know the actual device is a Pioneer but the case is built like a tank. Well done.

[Robert LeBlanc]

Um, wouldn't it be prudent to show THAT video? How can anyone believe you?
