    This is a veey rugged external hard drive. Just holding it you notice the weight. The tranfser rate is excellent via the Type connection. The only thing to change is having a Type C to Type C connector. A longer USB to C connevtor should be longer. It connecting to a lap top this is a non issue but connecting to a desktop the length should be longer. All in all I expect this device to last a long time. I have their monitor as well so I know the quality products of them.

    Solid but not the cheapest USB-C equipped platter-based HDD. Casing is great if you need protection and portability. Speed is as expected for an HDD over USB-C.

    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.

    This LaCie external hard drive was easily recognized by my Windows computer. In addition, I have performed backups on it with ease and speed. I have used other external hard drives that have been more difficult to use but not this one. I wholeheartedly recommend it for backups and storage.

    I have purchased several LaCie Portable Hard Drives for storing my large video files I create for teaching online. They work great with my Mac, and allow me to have more available memory on my laptop, as well as my desktop. This larger, 5TB LaCie will take care of my storage needs for a long time!

    This is the best hard drive. When I had an issue with it after dropping it, the customer service team from LaCie was great! 1. They sent a shipping label. 2. When they received my damaged hardrive they sent me a new one containing all the data from the damaged one. 3. After they fixed damages from the original one they sent me another refurbished hardrive that has not given me issues. Lacie has great warranties on their products and a very responsive staff.

    Works exactly what I was hoping for. Only thing to keep in mind, if you are trying to back up an older computer - you will need an attachment going from a C port to an A port.
