    It’s bulky and takes a lot of room on my desk. But it’s good, fast transfer speeds. I use it to back up my files.

    LaCie drives are as rugged as their name implies. The orange casing is a sure-fire way to product your product and the data that it holds.

    We're using this as an external hard drive for an Apple laptop. We do broadcast recordings and needed a portable hard drive to store these files on. So far it's not disappointed.
