Product Shot 1 The Pros:Full 1080p media capable. HDMI output. Ruggedized design.

The LaCie LaCinema Rugged HD is a multimedia external USB hard drive designed with portability in mind.

The LaCinema Rugged HD ups its counterpart, the LaCinema Rugged, by adding the ability to output at full 1080p, rather than 1080i. The LaCinema Rugged HD will upconvert SD video to 1080i, if connected to a television via HDMI. The LaCinema Rugged comes with a remote control and an additional shock-resistant rubber sleeve to help protect the drive from the elements in all conditions. It is only available in 500GB, not 250GB or 320GB, like the Rugged.
