    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.

    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.

    Bought it to hold all my work files and it holds them well. It comes with usb-c cable so it's ready to connect and store material right out of the box.

    This external hard drive has worked extremely well for me as a hobbyist landscape photographer. The extra durability was the selling point for me as I have lost two hard drives from minor impacts to other drives.

    I haven't had this too long but so far so good. The orange case around it seems very capable and robust. I think it will protect it from drops. You still have to be careful, because IT'S not SSD. It's conventional with head

    I got this drive because I have two other brand hard drives that have some challenges with the macOS but the LACIE drive seems to work if it's either the SSD version or the one with the spinning disc so I like this drive
