    It performs well and really does have a rugged and solid feel to it… My last LaCie didn’t have a dual partition and that threw me a little until I figured out which one was best for a system backup versus independent file backups…

    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.

    Love this hard drive. I have to carry an external HD everywhere with me, and I've owned several others and they've always failed. This has lasted me the longest by far.
