Lacie's�Rugged�external hard drives have always looked tempting, but the price to storage ratio has never been that appealing. The new�Rugged XL�may have finally found market balance.
The�Lacie Rugged XL�offers 1TB of USB/eSATA storage, wrapped in aluminum and a large external/internal bumper, for $160. But, at least according to this lead picture, this new model (right) is huuuuuggge, even by 3.5-inch standards. Seriously, it might eat your laptop if it gets too close. [Lacie]
