Ive been wanting this drive for the longest! And the wait was worth it!!!!

I've owned this drive for several months now and I'm not very happy with the performance. Although this is a USB-C/USB 3.1 drive, it's extremely slow due to the spinning hard drive. I knew what I was buying when I decided to purchase this model, but I did not expect the transfer speeds to be THIS slow. I get about 50-60 MB/s transfer speed benchmarked using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. Drive is connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on an iMac capable of a theoretical 40 Gb/s. This drive might as well be connected to a USB 2.0 port and you still wouldn't max out USB 2.0 transfer speeds. Bottom line, the bottleneck is the spinning hard drive, not the interface, and from the looks of it, this is one heck of a slow spinning drive. I thought I might be able to use this to expand my video editing library on iMovie, but I was very wrong. Unusable for anything other than storage. You can't run anything live from this drive and expect any kind of usable performance.

It doesn’t work with my MacBook. I plugged it in and it lit up but I couldn’t put anything in it. Now matter how big or small the file was. Usually hard drives are easy to use but this one proved to be difficult.

Great little external drive. This is my 3rd one, (other two still working, just full). Very fast transfer speeds, read/write etc. It does get a little warm under strain, but not hot. Wish they would come in larger capacities in this form factor. I install data circuits for businesses etc., and I’ve seen these used as a daily back up scenario, so I know its popular and reliable. Would definitely recommend.

This has been the only drive I have used on the road since it came out. It is durable and gets the job done. The usb-c is fast enough to get transfers and communicates all computers beautifully. I feel confident and safe as using it for storage on the road and at home. I just ordered my 3rd one from Best Buy and will continue to make a pile of these as long as I am in photography and video production.

Out of all the external hard drives this one is the best value and provides the best protection of your data. 5T for optimal storage and for the amount of storage is the best deal. While the solid state drives (SSD) provide a longevity advantage of the data, this product has a rubber protective case and recovery software if your device is ever damaged or compromised.

This is a great external hard drive. Holds a lot of memory and really fast.

This is my second purchase of this external hard drive - YES, It’s that good. One of the only brands that I trust to backup my most important files to. The USB-C connection makes it easy to connect to my MacBook Pro without having to use dongles and adapters. The rubber bumper also gives me peace of mind when I transport the drive. This drive is reliable and very well made. Highly recommended.

Quality as described, fast transfer speeds, HUGE storage (5T), very satisfied!

Purchased this a replacement external hard drive for back up. Previously had two WD 5TB Externals, one to hold all media (music / video, etc) instead of keeping on MacBook. Second was used strictly as a back-up (time machine). The drive being used as a back-up stopped working periodically, and I needed a replacement as soon as possible. I purchased this and from day one, this has performed effectively, quickly and due to it's minimal footprint, has been a great addition to my home office.

This is the best purchase I made fort my recording studio. Everything works seamlessly. My audio folders and movie files load without a hiccup.

This is my third and largest drive. I have never had an issue with this brand and get full transfer speeds when backing up my MacBook Air or just transferring small and large files between computers.

It’s great. Sturdy, fast, and reliable. This is my second one. The other has been plugged in nonstop for over 5 years and still going strong.

Great drive. Had it for a bit now and it hasn't failed me yet. I have dozens of lacie rugged drives from my years of video and music production and I can always rely on them to fire up when I need them, no matter how old. I am a big fan of the new ones having USBc connectors to interface better with my modern mac.

I like this external storage I have 5 of these and so far I don’t have any issue with any of them.
