    It helps supplement the memory on my MacBook Pro so that I can get all my tasks completed. I also loaded windows with Parallels on it. The thunderbolt cable is fast.

    The Lacie Rugged 1TB External USB Hard Drive is exactly what its title and name says. It is both USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt in the connections. I use it with my MacBook Pro in the Thunderbolt connectivity. It is used both at home and on the road. There has been no problems in the month or so of use, and it has been quick enough to handle the mastering of large music files. Good Job Lacie!

    I am thrilled to find this thunderbolt buss powered portable drive.I have been looking for one for a while. The USB3 connection is a nice touch when I need to connect to a Mac that doesn't have Thunderbolt. Performance is great... Just wish it had two thunderbolt connections.

    I like these Lacy rugged external hard drives. Even though the do not have the power of the larger ones I usually buy, they are rugged and I find them reliable. The speed on them is fine and I even like the color of them.

    Super fast! The lightening bolt makes all the difference in the world. Reduced my 160+ gb transfer time by at least two hours from my older 2.0 usb connection. Very durable case for folks with butter fingers :)

    I now have several of these drives and love the way they changed my life. I edit in Final Cut Pro X and use the Adobe Creative Cloud. All of my projects live on my rugged drives and move from laptop to MacPro for easy workflow. The Thunderbolt connection made it possible to edit and color correct 4K video on the fly. Thanks for a great project. I got my life back thanks to this new workflow.
