    I really don't need the rugged case for this PHD, but I did need at least 2TB and a USB-C to USB-C connection for speed. It works well and seems to be a bit faster than my previous PHD.

    After I broke my last portable hard drive by dropping it, it was time to get something a little more sturdy. I have dropped this one several times, and keeps working with no problem. Since you never know when your going to drop your portable hard drive, I would definitely recommend this LaCie Rugged. You can never be too careful.

    I use this hard drive to store video files for work (things I don't want filling up my hard drive or synching up with my personal pictures/videos) and it works great. I keep this in my laptop bag and never worry about being damaged. Because of the USB-C cable, I can move these video files quickly to this drive. It does come with a USB-C to USB 3 cable if you have an older computer.

    I had to purchase a new computer and five years of schoolwork was on the previous one. This LaCie external hard drive is a keeper. I rarely unplug it from the new computer and it holds while traveling in the book bag.

    Aside from using this for everyday things, I mainly use it for my work as a music producer. Being able to back up all my work and tracks that I work on is great knowing that I'm using this external. It's extremely compact and user friendly. I recommend this for anyone looking for a good external drive. YES! It IS pricey but you're getting a great quality product.

    I needed to clear space on my computer and only had a older WD myPassport. Over the years I've heard nothing but good thinks about LaCie so I made the decision to purchase and try it out, and WOW this is hands down the best portable hard drive I've ever used. Speeds are great and I really like the seamless transition from Mac to PC.
