But can it stand up to the ‘hammer test’?

Menu: Take one 500 Gb Hitachi TravelStar 2.5″ disk. Add a dash of shock proof aluminium and some dubious looking orange rubber. Splash in a USB connection (and some firewire if you have spare cash). Mix vigorously. Bake at 200C for about ten minutes. Voila. LaCies latest offering in the ruggedised hard drive range. The USB only variant will set you back about £189. Add another £40 for the firewire version. This hard wearing piece of kit will be ideal for use up a mountain because I certainly wouldn’t take it to the office!
