Win a LaCie Rugged and iPod nano from PowerMax

by Victor Agreda, Jr. Dec 11th 2008 at 7:00AM

Our friends at PowerMax, who are offering free shipping for orders over $50 (some restrictions apply), are offering a LaCie Rugged and an 8GB 4th-generation iPod nano to our loyal TUAW readers. Well, our not-so-loyal readers are welcome to enter too, I guess.

The LaCie Rugged is a 320GB drive (7200 RPM) sporting FireWire 800 and 400, plus USB 2.0 and a rubber bumper for the klutzes in your life. Compatible with Time Machine, these make a great addition to notebooks or anyone with limited space or a shaky desk. I'm guessing you've already heard of the nano by now, what with its newfangled accelermeter and audio-in capabilities.

I bought a used Macintosh 8500 from PowerMax over a decade ago, and the thing came with full versions of After Effects (version 3.0) and Premiere 4, making the entire bundle worth more than what I would have paid separately. To this day PowerMax carries a wide variety of used Macs, complete with 90-day warranties.

To enter, just leave us a comment saying what you'd do with an extra 320GB of rugged storage in your kit! See the rules below:

  • Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.
  • To enter leave a comment telling us what was the last disc you burned.
  • The comment must be left before December 15, 11:59PM Eastern Time.
  • You may enter only once.
  • One winner will be selected in a random drawing.
  • Prize: LaCie Rugged ($209.50), 8GB 4th-gen iPod nano ($144.88)

I would fill it with music and use it in my Jeep. Perhaps this one would survive.

I would store the videos of my son in our safe.

With the extra 320GB I can backup all my music from iTunes.

About the last disc I burned... I don't remember. It has been a long time since I burn a disc. Now all my content is stored on my computer or iPod.

the last disc i burned, since i am the art director for a portrait studio, was a DVD of a slideshow featuring a family's portrait session set to Pachebel's Canon in D.

as a freelance illustrator and photo restoration artist, that extra 320gb of storage would be wonderful to securely back-up my ever-expanding portfolio. the firewire is awesome since i still only use a G3 iBook for all my digital work (no usb 2.0).

peace and love

The last disk I burned was my weekly backup (well, to be fair, that was like 15 DVDs). I am already out of space on my computer hard drive and am down to the wire on my external

I would store my music on it to free up drive space so I could work on my digital media/Web development skills.

The last disc I burned was a backup of She & Him's "Volume One."

I'd use the drive for Time Machine, natch.

As for the last burned disc (I think that was left from the last contest; my apologies if that's been pointed out previously, but I didn't read all of the over 1000 other comments.), I think it was a Kubuntu Live CD I had downloaded for someone else to set up a server.

Thanks, TUAW!

I burnt a mix disc of some old school Relient K Christmas for a couple friends just an hour ago (latest burn).

I'd move my iTunes library off onto it, freeing up ~100 gigs of bloody space off my macbook pro :)
