    I am using it for my beginning film business and for class in college. I was easily able to partition it so I could use it with the University's Mac's & my home PC. VERY fast, love the design, and great storage space. Great job!

    Great hard drive for DJs that have a MacBook pro. The thunderbolt frees up one of the USB ports for other uses. It's fast and hasn't failed me at a show yet.

    I absolutely LOVE my new LaCie hard drive with the Thunderbolt connection. The read/write speeds are unbelievably fast and that is crucial for my work as a video editor. I plan on getting at least 2-3 more of these once this one runs out of space.

    Had all cables included. Worked as soon as it was plugged in. Software set up an osx partition and a FAT PARTITION Very easy install. We are a movie production startup and use this for site work. Very fast video file transfer. 1-4gb files transfer in real time. Almost instantaneous in comparison to USB2.0 and faster than USB3.0

    I bought a couple of these for field work. They hold up well (although I wouldn't test the 3.9 foot drop claim, they have stood up to being knocked around) and are reasonably fast. Some people have had problems with LaCie, I've always had good luck with their products. YMMV, I guess.

    I think this is a great external hard drive. It is small and easy to carry it along to transfer files to a different computer work station. It has a durable design. It transfers data quick.

    I was unsure of buying this ext. hard drive at first because of the price v. capacity, since there are cheaper drives available with more memory space. The thunderbolt is very much worth it, it works much quicker than a USB 3.0, but still I wish it had more room.

    Best , Most Reliable Hard Drive on Market

    I did my research on all of the brands of Backup Hard Drives on the market. What I found was that LaCie was the best out there. After having bad luck with WD and Seagate (both crashed), I decided to give it a try. So far so good. Built very well, and so far so good.
