    This little thing is a beast! Not only does it do a great job of syncing my files, but it being ruggedized helps give me peace of mind that if I drop it or something happens to it, my data will be safe. Highly recommend it (this is my second LaCie Rugged drive).

    Works as intended. The rugged design is needed as I dj, the constant setup and breakdown of equipment requires sturdy dependable gear, hard drive included

    Lots of storage space and a VERY good value. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the data transfer speed is a little slower than other options. I use this for file backup so it doesn't have to be super fast for what I use it for.

    Very similar to my LaCie Rugged 2TB, but now with USB-C compatibility. You can’t go wrong when you buy LaCie; excellent build quality and performance. And the hi-vis silicone case is not only really cool, it’s extremely rugged as well. Very pleased with my purchase.
