It gets thrown in my backpack and keeps going. The aluminium shell is reasonably robust but its certainly not scratch resistent. Rolling around in a backpack in a pocket on its own it has a lot of scratches and even a dent but it works well and I love it. If Lacie wants to send me one of the new version i'd love to test it for them to see if its more scratch resistant. <br><br>I agree with BuddyBoy on the UK pricing too.... the crap USD$ doesn't seem to help it either! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2008 5:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LaCie snags Hitachi's 500GB 5K500, stuffs it into Rugged Hard Disk]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/lacie-snags-hitachis-500gb-5k500-stuffs-it-into-rugged-hard-di/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/lacie-snags-hitachis-500gb-5k500-stuffs-it-into-rugged-hard-di/</guid><description><![CDATA[It is a bit ironic (to me at least) that they are selling this as a "Rugged Hard Disk" but they are sticking a 2.5 inch HDD inside of it which in my personal experience are highly prone to failure (especially the Hitachi ones).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Twist]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 23rd 2008 5:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LaCie snags Hitachi's 500GB 5K500, stuffs it into Rugged Hard Disk]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/lacie-snags-hitachis-500gb-5k500-stuffs-it-into-rugged-hard-di/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/lacie-snags-hitachis-500gb-5k500-stuffs-it-into-rugged-hard-di/</guid><description><![CDATA[Needs rubber plugs for the ports!

There is nothing special about the disks since they are standard 2.5" laptop drives. However, I did find the build quality to be very good and the enclosure is robust and still in good shape, it  won't shatter if you drop it and is easy to peel off/on if you need need to replace the drive.  <br><br>I happen to like the colour orange...but if it repulses you so much then lacie do sell different sleeves. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[trev]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 24th 2008 6:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LaCie snags Hitachi's 500GB 5K500, stuffs it into Rugged Hard Disk]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/lacie-snags-hitachis-500gb-5k500-stuffs-it-into-rugged-hard-di/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/lacie-snags-hitachis-500gb-5k500-stuffs-it-into-rugged-hard-di/</guid><description><![CDATA[So, this orange is pretty cool.
