New Amazon low hits LaCie’s backup-ready Rugged Mini 5TB portable HDD at $143 shipped

Reg. $170+/$143

Amazon is now offering the LaCie Rugged Mini 5TB Portable Hard Drive for $143.03 shipped. Regularly $170, like it currently fetches at B&H, this model carries a $180 MSRP from LaCie and is now at the lowest price we can find. While we did see it in the $158 range at Amazon several times last year, today’s discounts marks a new all-time low there on the 5TB capacity. No, it’s not one of the speedy portable SSDs out there, but 5TB of that would cost you over $400 – 4TB of the base model SanDisk Extreme sells for $350 for comparison. The LaCie Rugged Mini makes for a protective solution for moving and storing data, files, documents, and more at an economical price, will also work for backups, and comes from a brand you can trust. Head below for more details. 

While it’s not going to be as rugged or protective overall, there are more affordable ways to land 5TB of backup and storage space. Something like this Seagate Portable 5TB External Hard Drive sells for $110 at Amazon where it is easily among the most popular options out there. Again, these aren’t the most modern portable storage solutions by any means, but when it comes to the per TB price, they are hard to beat.
