LaCie’s mini 5TB portable HDD delivers rugged backup storage on sale for $140 shipped today
Amazon is now offering the LaCie Rugged Mini 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD for $139.99 shipped. Regularly $180 and currently matched at B&H, this is $40 of the going rate and a new 2023 Amazon low. While we have seen a few very fleeting price drops for less in the past at Amazon, today’s deal is the best we can find and a notable option for folks looking to score some protected portable storage without spending SSD money. There are less expensive options out there, like the WD 5TB Elements Portable HDD, but you’re not going to get the “all-terrain durability of drop-, crush-, and water-resistance” of the bumper frame LaCie provides here. It’s not going to reach the speeds of its portable solid-state cousins either, but it does make for a rugged 5TB backup solution for spring and summer adventures this year without breaking the bank. Head below for more details.
