LaCie Drives Up US Prices 9-12% with More Brands to Follow

If you need backup drives before your next job, buy them today. LaCie just bumped US pricing on its Rugged line by 9-12% with no announcement, no fanfare. The 4TB Thunderbolt 5 SSD went from $1,429 to $1,599 in days. ProGrade and OWC have already confirmed their own increases are coming. This isn't one brand having a moment — it's a wave moving across the storage market, and B&H currently has stock where Amazon doesn't. If you've been putting off replenishing your field drives or building out a new project archive, the window to do it at old prices is closing fast.
