    Well constructed and very fast. The included cable is also of great quality. I’ve been using LaCie Rugged drives for years and this one doesn’t disappoint.

    Designed perfectly, beautiful. They also work well. Nice transfer rates, and the rubber protecting the drive itself is useful for someone as clumsy as me.

    After 15 years my MAC crapped out (imagine that! I guess the just don’t make ‘em like they used to ;-) Every document, hundreds and every family photo, thousands were on that MAC. Fortunately I had a LaCie backing up the hard drive using Time Machine. I just plugged it into the new MAC and everything, I mean every word, every photo downloaded. A Fantastic and reliable device. I’ve put the original LaCie in the safe and purchased a new one for the new system.

    It's a trusted drive I've used for years for video editing - using it to save my cache on, as well as for photoshoots. It's rugged and glad it's waterproof.

    I frequently purchase LaCie's for video editing and they have been very dependable. I had a bad experience with another brand and have not with this brand. I also find myself noticing my favorite podcaster use them as well so that reassures me that these are reliable.
