LaCie: dependable and it works
I've had the lacie-d2 professional 8tb for a couple weeks and it works fine. No issues. In the past 15 years or so this is my fourth or fifth lacie drive and I haven't had one fail or give me any trouble whatsoever. Using it as a backup drive for now. That is all.

Great Drive for USB C
Great drive for digital production needs. I have two, one as the main and one as the backup. So far, they have never failed me.

Broke but was fixed correctly.
About a month of use and the hard drive was not able to be recognized by any device. It was completely bricked. Sent it to Seagate for about 15$ and a brand new one was sent out about a week later.
