Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this to hold photos from my SLR. Highly portable and fast enough to edit on the fly. Works flawlessly with iPad Pro as well as PC. An excellent fast and reliable file bucket. Might get a second for backup given how cheap it is. Software is actually useful for that purpose. Syncs with Adobe easily. Just point Lightroom to it and it’s a seamless experience. Pros might want something more like a NAS with RAID, but as an enthusiast this fits the bill.

I love this hard drive. Tons of space for a little bit of money. The design is definitely high quality and heavy duty. Great for traveling and remote work.

Excellent and reliable pocket drive. I use these for video storage. In 20 years, I've only had one fail and LaCie is very receptive for troubleshooting.

I love my LaCie harddrives--I have 6 of them, and they are affordable and super high quality, so durable and reliable. As a photographer, I travel a lot and I need to have my harddrive with me to download photographs and edit on the go. I can always rely on my LaCie to work well and handle being moved around in my backpack. And Best Buy TotalCare gives me the peace of mind knowing I can get service when I need it.

I’ve been using the LaCie Rugged 5TB External Hard Drive for a few months, and overall, I’m impressed with its performance and reliability. Here’s a breakdown of my personal experience: First off, the durability of this drive is outstanding. I work in various environments, including outdoors and in busy areas, so I need something that can handle bumps and drops. The bright orange rubber casing not only looks rugged but does the job of protecting the hard drive well. I’ve accidentally dropped it a couple of times, and it hasn’t skipped a beat — the shock resistance gives me peace of mind. Additionally, the IP54 water and dust resistance is a bonus for when I’m on the go.

Works PERFECTLY... Very low lag time once taken out of sleep mode... I'm a mobile DJ and use this thing all the time... no issues yet... Small, Rugged, and Efficient... definitely a BestBuy Dj Tempest

A sturdy and reliable hard disk drive. I am a photographer and use this as my backup hard drive for all my RAW photos - it's quick to upload files to, and a great portable HDD.

This is the best value out there for back-up storage. Plug and play for Mac users. Very fast transfer speeds for backing up large media files. This device is also recognized on Sony televisions to view your media files.

Definitely a 10/10 especially if you are a content creator and always running out of storage.

Reliable & Rugged. I've had the 2tb version for 5+ years, and when I needed mobile large storage for offloading RAW video files, I knew this was the best option for me.

Just got this a few months ago. Wife needed a good hard drive. This was the best value for the need.

You literally can’t go wrong with these, I travel for work so all my hard drives take some sort of impact us at some point whether through TSA or regular wear and tear while traveling, so it’s always good to be able to relax because I know these hard drives don’t easily get damaged. I probably have 24 of these

Lightning fast, easy to use, & reasonably priced for a large amount of storage.

Fast device, excellent manufacturing materials, the transfer speed is fast, the detection of the device on the computer is practically immediate, I definitely recommend it 100%

Lacie externals are the go - to for video production.

I use these to store my photographs as an active library in lightroom and they work perfectly. I've never had an issue with one like I did with WD drives and a few others.

love this external usb down bad!! my sims live on here, my music lives on here, my documents live on here and so much more! there's room for literally a whole universe, and then some

I love it. This is the second one I bought because this time I needed much larger. I’m very happy with it, and I would buy it again.

My favorite storage device and easy to travel with. Very durable too! I make music so it’s important to have something reliable as this!

Love it! This works great for storing video content. 5TB is actually more than you think.
