    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.

    I have bought my April 2023 to use exclusively on my Mac and never had any problems. I read some of the reviews complaining that the SSD didn’t work. Most likely due to not formatting. An external hard drive must be formatted for use with your Mac, especially if it was previously formatted for a Windows computer, as it may not be natively compatible with macOS.

    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!
