Extremely effective 5TB Back-Up Hard Drive
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Purchased this a replacement external hard drive for back up. Previously had two WD 5TB Externals, one to hold all media (music / video, etc) instead of keeping on MacBook. Second was used strictly as a back-up (time machine). The drive being used as a back-up stopped working periodically, and I needed a replacement as soon as possible. I purchased this and from day one, this has performed effectively, quickly and due to it's minimal footprint, has been a great addition to my home office.

MY Help Mate
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.The cost of the LaCie USB-C 5TB External USB 3.1 was very a very reasonable and useful expense. I work in video, still photography, and writing constantly and this hard driver has become my necessary backup plan and front man for all the work that I produce. I trust this hard drive because is the thing purpose that carries within it orange package almost all the important work I produce in basically one place and I am very happy about that. It does not matter if I am at home or on the road. It delivers perfectly and in every place every time without a problem which is what I am in need of everyday.

Excellent drive with USB-C interface
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This is my backup drive. It's not a network storage device, so using it this way is a bit inconvenient, but that's not the drive's fault. Every day, I connect it to a different one of my computers and forget it. It backs up everything in rotation.

Good Hard Drive
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Not much to say except it does exactly as advertised. The orange silicone is nice for keeping it protected and its not so terribly big that it's a hassle to carry around (though it is chunky). I uploaded a number of video files and RAW + JPEG files and it barely even left a dent in the storage (then again I can't really conceptualize 5TB). It comes with both a USB-C and a USB-A cord.

Q: QuestionCan this switch back and forth between Mac and Windows, reading and writing on both ends?
Asked by Hello.
- A:Answer Yes. It ships in Fat 32 (possible FAT 16) so don't reformat it. There are limitations in things you can do but you can easily move it back and forth between windows and Macs in that format. While Mac's can see/read NTFS they cannot write to it unless additional software is bought.
