1.1. Shock Protection Features
Digital data is best handled with care, but people and their files
are subject to mishaps and unfortunate accidents. In a world full of
bumps, spills, and adventures, the LaCie Rugged Safe is data’s best
protection. See
Fig. 01
for a description of the LaCie Rugged Safe’s
physical protection design.
1.2. Heat Dissipation Features
The LaCie Rugged Safe’s aluminum shell naturally dissipates inter-
nal drive heat, eliminating the need for a fan. Its unique design
draws heat away from the internal drive toward the external casing.
The internal drive is kept safe, prolonging its life and reliability. As
a consequence, it is normal that the external casing is warm to the
touch.
LaCie does not recommend stacking more than three active rugged
drives on top of each other.
IMPORTANT INFO:
Stacking Rugged Safe drives may make it
difficult for users to access the biometric sensor or cause the sensor
to read fingerprints incorrectly. LaCie recommends that you register
fingerprints with the drives in the same position and orientation in
which they will be used.
