Always dependable and strong. I've had other external hard drives that crashed but not this one. Every time I need one, I only think in this brand and this type of hard drive.

Excellent. To be the same size as other external drives with larger storage capacity and Mac ready to use . Others i have purchased always needed partitioning or something in order to make id Mac ready. and i like the added rubber cover to help protect it from accidental damage. Well Done.

I've owned this model drive for years and just bought three in 5TB sizes for my photography work. I've found them reliable and certainly durable. However, they are a bit slow so I would not recommend them for video. However, for photos these drives are just fine and I've never had one break on me before.
The read/write speeds on these drives is roughly 120/110MB/s. For comparison's sake, the read/write speed for my MacBook's internal drive is 6,000+/4,000+, a huge difference.
FWIW, I'm running a 2023 MacBook Pro with the M3Pro chip, 18GB of ram and Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Finally, I had a world of trouble with the MacOS randomly disconnecting the drives until I reformatted them as MacOS Journaled. Since then, I've had no issues at all.

No issues yet! The machine does rattle and make some noise as it gets hotter. I've used about 1/5 of the storage and it still runs smoothly. Highly reliable.

I love these hard drives. This is the second one I’ve bought and they are great. Fast transfers and very tough. I use them out in mine sites all over the country I all types of weather and have never had a problem with them. Highly recommend.

Rugged & reliable 5+ years with my original, replaced after wear on the port over time caused unreliable connection, likely due to repeatedly tossing it in my bag with a cable connected. Leave the port disconnected when traveling / storing and you should be fine.

Works well. Nice rugged design! Protects against falls. I just wish that the transfer rate was a little faster. I didn't give 5 stars because I believe there is always room for improvement.

I needed a drive with more space and this has 5TB. It's sturdy (for gaming, I suppose) and I like that it's easy to find in a drawer! Very satisfying purchase.

The LaCie external hard drive has been great! It's' easy to use and integrates well with the MacBook Pro that I have...and the color is nice as well. Good job LaCie!

High quality hard drive. Still haven't filled it up all the way, and I do video production for a living. Best way to store your footage and back ups. Sturdy and haven't had any issues yet. Will be using these drives forever.

I've been using these drives for work for over a decade now, and they have never given me problems. They work well with any computer I use and have held up for years. I rely on them they simply do the job correctly.
