    I purchased this because I needed a mobile drive that was fast, durable, and had a lot of space. Excellent product!

    Rugged with 5 terabytes of storage is more than enough for tons of pictures and videos. Easy to use. Just plug it in. It is heavy with the rubber armor surround. But that's what makes the product unique.

    Very happy with this as my Time Machine backup. I set it up with 4TB dedicated to my backup for my 2TB MacbookPro. 1 TB is free to use however I want now.

    Overall, happy with this purchase so far. I'm a filmmaker and editor, so I needed some place to offload old projects. When I do need to edit off the drive, I can confidently work on a ProTools session without interruptions. Plus, it's great that the product comes with a USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables, so I can go between my PC and MacBook Pro as needed.

    Perfect, Portable External HD

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve bought this external HD twice. First for my MacBook Pro, to use with Time Machine. Since it’s used for a laptop, I like the fact that it has a silicone(?) bumper. But the original reason I bought it was because it was USB-C (the little one), which meant I didn’t have to get a USB-B to USB-C converter. I’ve been happily using it for a few years, It travels with the laptop (bumpy rides), and has been a breeze to use. The most recent one I got was for my husband’s MacBook Pro. I discovered that he had NO BACK UP for his laptop (his only computer). So it was a no-brainer to get this external for him. I knew if it was anything complicated, he wouldn’t bother using it. Or, he would continuously ask all sorts of questions (What do I do to use this? (plug it in), Which slot should I plug this into? (Any slot on the MacBook) Do I really need this? (Yes, remember when you got a shutdown alert and thought you lost everything?). He does now use this external HD, And, he even uses it to transport other files (besides using Time Machine), since the HD has so much memory.

    EXTREMELY fast when connected to a Type-C Thunderbolt 3 port. So far, I am pleased with the performance and size of this external drive. It doesn't seem to suck away too much current/voltage, so I am happy with that, also. We are considering getting another one for my wife's laptop. Please note that we also use Acronis True Image for backup.

    This hard drive was purchased for the portability as well as the ruggedness. I also like the fact that it has a USB-C connection so I don’t need an adapter for my Mac. So far this drive has worked well.

    I am a professional photographer who is editing more then I would like to me so being able to take my file with me to edit on the go has been super helpful. This little drive has plenty of space to work from while on the go and I know it's going to be safe in this rugged case. Great drive from a great company. Would buy again.

    Great value for a rugged external drive. Only reason for the missing star is that the drive is a platter drive instead of an SSD. I would've preferred an SSD for this price point. But Lacie is a trusted brand and the transfer speeds are excellent.

    Seems to work fine and quick enough, toolkit makes it even easier to use probably at cost of privacy but wtvr. Idk why best buy does this with packaging like actual electronics that needs a lil buffer so doesnt slide around. All 3 different hdd devices purchased frome bestbuy always come the same yet other stuff that doesnt need it gets packaged better...no problems yet and this one looks tough but worth mentioning.
