    Awesome product Rugged is an understatement, definitely feels very durable. The rubber grips are great for handling and to grasp onto whatever surface it's placed on. Connections are solid even when connected with an average Samsung phone charging cable. I haven't put it through the drop test yet, but I wouldn't doubt that it could withstand a few drops from waist height.

    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.

    This was a life savier when I needed a new drive for my thesis film project. I am heavily relying on it and it hasnt slowed down my editing progress on premiere pro. Thanks Best Buy! :)

    I'm a wedding photographer and these are a beast. Super fast to write to and really can tolerate anything. I went through 5tb in one year somehow and had to get another one I liked it so much. I highly recommend these hard drives if you are a professional photographer who has to back up everything constantly.

    Really rugged works really really well. If the driver doesn’t work, it’s easy to buy a new one and replace the front part of it. You can get the driver to work again.
