    Never crashes top notch hard drive. Lacie is the industry standard and it is evident when you use one. I highly recommend LaCie hard drives. Great deal for the money. Lightning connectors are fast and make ease of use. Best Buy has had great deals on these hard drives. I plan to pick up s few more.

    The speed on this drive is a joke compared to the other brands, it is well built or so I thought because the drive after 4 months of use DIED - a total waste of money , company's response we can retrieve your data for $900 like seriously.. so I went with Apple products and have NOT had any issues since almost a year now and the airport time capsule is working like a charm the way a backup drive should be

    Nice Backup Hard Drive

    This hard drive is great for backing up all types of files. I use it to back up all my digital pictures. With 1 TB of space, I shouldnt run out of space anytime soon. I should have gotten the SSD version which would have been a lot faster but it wouldnt have had the 1 TB of space and would be a lot more expensive. It is a good value for the price though.

    I bought this drive to keep all the video footage I shot for a tv show pilot safe. Had to ship it many states away and there were no problems at all. Awesome and sturdy drive I must say.

    I purchased this along with a WD, and looking back I would've skipped the WD purchase and picked up another LaCie. The only problem I had with the LaCie is the storage with only 1 TB at the time. Overall great purchase.r

    I purchase this drive to transfer video files off of my Mac to free up space. So far so good. It was a quick and painless setup and I was transferring files within minutes of plugging the drive in.

    I upgraded to the LaCie because my other Thunderbolt backup device was having issues. The LaCie saves 800MBs of data in maybe 45 secs. It has made keeping my Mac backed up a basically invisible routine.

    Purchased this to store movies for traveling. No power supply so it is easy to use. Keeps the limited space on my Mac Book Pro from being clogged up with movies.
