    Great Hard drive... Very fast, easy to setup, and rugged... I work with large multimedia files that was taking up lots of space on my Mac... So know I keep my large files on the hard drive and transfer what I need when I need it... Great choice if u ask me...

    Drive unmounts itself even after reformatting it in disk utility on mac os. Also, ejecting drive is sometimes difficult or delayed. I do like the design with the self contained thunderbolt cable and it feels very well built and durable but the unpredictable nature prevents me from recommending this drive to others. I will look at the G Drive comparable product...

    Bought the drive to use mainly for video projects, and to be able to edit on multiple machines in different locations when necessary. Great way to keep a project moving - especially when files originate from different sources. No issues to date.

    This a great portable hard drive that has thunderbolt and the optional USB3 cable to transfer media. It has a much better compact design compared to their Firewire 800/USB 3 version and I like that. Solid and quick.

    I use it for video editing and it's fast enough for a few multi tracks but after that things slow down. No issues though, solid drive.

    While slower than some of the bigger, dedicated Thunderbolt drives out there, the LaCie Rugged External Thunderbolt portable drive is still fast enough to boot a MBPro Retina from without necessarily feeling like you've compromised your system's speed. The self-storing cord is easy to "put away" when storing the drive for travel.
