The LaCie Rugged Mini is an ultra-compact portable hard drive with a storage capacity of up to 4TB. This drive seamlessly connects to USB 3.0 computers, allowing you to transfer content at blazing-fast speeds of up to 130MB/s. With its all-terrain durability, the LaCie Rugged Mini can withstand drops, crushes, and rain, making it the perfect companion for your adventures.

However, there are a few troubleshooting steps you may need to take if you encounter any issues:

1. If file transfers are too slow, check the following:
2. Ensure that other USB devices are not connected to the same port or hub, which could be causing a bottleneck.
3. Verify that the drive is connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer or hub, as USB 2.0 ports may limit transfer speeds.

4. Consider the impact of your computer's internal hard drive on the overall transfer speed.

5. If you receive file transfer error messages, be aware that certain characters, such as ?, <, >, /, \, :, and *, cannot be copied when transferring files or folders from a computer to a FAT 32 volume. In such cases, the drive will remount to the desktop. Additionally, LaCie drives conserve power by spinning down when your computer enters sleep mode, and when the computer is awakened, it may not give the drive enough time to spin up from its sleep mode.

6. If the drive icon doesn't appear on your desktop, check the following:

7. Ensure that both ends of the USB cables are firmly attached.
8. Verify that the drive is receiving sufficient power.
9. Refer to the user manual (pages 19-22) for additional troubleshooting solutions.

For Mac compatibility, the LaCie Rugged Mini Hard Drive requires reformatting. Consult the Application Guide for more details.

The LaCie Rugged Mini also features built-in password protection and a maximum speed of 130MB per second, thanks to its USB 3.0 connectivity, which is up to four times faster than USB 2.0 (while remaining USB 2.0 compatible).

Additionally, the LaCie Rugged Mini includes a one-month complimentary membership to the Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps Plan, which must be redeemed by January 31, 2020.
