It's IP54 water- and dust-resistant, you can drop it from a height of up to 1.2m (providing it's not switched on), and it can be driven over by a one-tonne car. What's more, as the name suggests, this is a rugged hard drive. There's even a built-in SD slot so you can back up images and video directly when on the go no need for a laptop. The device supports RAID 0 for a max transfer speed of 250MB/s, though for data redudancy, RAID 1 is required, and as such you'll be limited to 125MB/s.

However, you'll need to connect to a Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 port for this to work: older USB connections that can't pump this much juice will require the RAID Rugged Pro to be powered by an included AC adapter. This means it can be used without a mains power outlet, with the USB-C connection providing enough power to run both the 5400RPM 2.5-inch hard disk drives housed within the Rugged RAID Pro.

The LaCie Rugged RAID Pro is, strictly speaking, a portable hard drive. Raid drives don't have to be bulky boxes confined to your desk. That's enough for up to 168TB of total capacity, in a drive case that looks more like a filing cabinet! If you need even more storage capacity and protection against drive failure, LaCie also offers 6big and 12big versions of the Big, containing six and twelve individual hard drives respectively. The drives can be configured in a RAID 0 array where they team up to give you max file transfer speed, or as a RAID 1 array for auto file duplication in case one drive should fail. Available in 4TB, 8TB, 16TB and 28TB capacities, we recon the 8TB option is the best value, as prices rise sharply for the larger models.įor your money, you get a pair of enterprise-class Seagate IronWolf Pro 7200RPM hard drives that deliver both reliability and speed, with an up-to-date USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C connection ensuring the drive speed won't be bottlenecked. LaCie's two-drive variant of its Big RAID solution isn't the cheapest for its capacity, but it is packed with high-end features.

For control outside of that range, indeed for control from anywhere in the world, you need Wi-Fi. Many smart locks connect via Bluetooth to your phone, which lets you control the lock when you're in close proximity to it. Schlage and Kwikset also have Wi-Fi models (both also priced at $249), and it's likely the way of the future for most smart locks. While it is the first August lock to include Wi-Fi, it isn't the only lock on the market with the upgrade. That means you no longer need to buy the $80 August Connect module to control it remotely. This is the first August lock with Wi-Fi built in. If you're concerned about compatibility with your existing deadbolt, August has a helpful page listing compatible models from most brands. The August system is the simplest smart lock installation out there, and the guidance in both the app and printed, in-box instructions are easy to follow. The green adapter provided fit my Kwikset deadbolt. It's difficult to fit the necessary adapter if things aren't lined up neatly. If you find that it's too far up or down, loosen and readjust the screws while holding a bit of pressure on the plate to keep it in place. It's important to do your best to keep the cam bar (see below) centered in the August back plate while you secure the screws. Which screw length goes where can really matter on a smart lock. This affects not only the installation, but the lock's everyday performance, too. Make sure you have a good Wi-Fi connection.Make sure the deadbolt moves freely and there isn't any friction in the lock's mechanics.Smart locks have trouble calibrating and fully locking doors that need an extra shove to close completely. Be sure your door closes well before you begin this process.I'll take a second here to address my standard smart lock tips. Next, you'll fit on the August plate and correct adapter for your lock, and clip on the Wi-Fi Smart Lock with its two locking wings. Because it's retrofitted, you won't need to do much at all to your physical deadbolt, beyond removing the thumb latch on the interior side of the door.

You'll also want to download the August app available on iOS or Android, as there is a helpful guide with animations to walk you through the process. The updated side texture of the lock is designed to provide better grip.Īs always, installing an August smart lock is a breeze if you have 10 minutes and a screwdriver. On the inside, the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock is powered by two CR123 batteries. Along that ridge is a cleverly placed August logo to help you tell whether your door is locked or not. I can't discern a huge difference, but I'm not bothered by it, either. You'll notice a slightly different ridge pattern around the sides of the lock, designed to improve grip. The design team, which includes renowned designer Yves Béhar, stayed true to the original design, while making small updates.

The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock (right) is 45% smaller than the August Smart Lock Pro (left). A smart home should blend in, in my opinion, and August's design is much improved in that regard. It's so much less distracting, partly because I'm a bit more accustomed to seeing smart locks on doors by now, but also because it's really significantly smaller. I was delighted with the small scale of this August model. Nearly all smart locks require this aesthetic obstruction, relying on a large battery and thumb latch housings mounted on the interior side of your door. While there's never been anything particularly ugly about the lock, putting a big chunk of metal on the interior of your door isn't an interior designer's dream. The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock is 45% smaller than its predecessors, measuring roughly 2.8 inches in diameter and just 1.8 inches in depth. Smaller smart lock designĪugust's unique retrofit design stays true to its roots in this fourth-generation model. I popped it onto the back of my door and lived with it for a week. At $230, the new lock is pricey but it's well worth your money if you're looking to get your front door online. It comes with built-in Wi-Fi, negating the need for the extra August Connect ( $70 at Amazon) plug-in modules. Slimmer than its earlier iterations and smarter than most of the competition, this August lock is a winner. In 2021, it's still holding onto that award. Last year, we gave the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock our Editors' Choice Award for its easy installation, great app and smart home integration.

August smart locks are popular, and for good reason: The retrofit design makes them easy to install without replacing your existing deadbolt, and they're smart enough to work with Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa.
