    This is my backup drive. It's not a network storage device, so using it this way is a bit inconvenient, but that's not the drive's fault. Every day, I connect it to a different one of my computers and forget it. It backs up everything in rotation.

    Disappointed – Not as Rugged as Advertised

    This is the second Lacie Rugged Hard Drive I’ve owned, and unfortunately, both have had the same critical flaw: the USB-C port becomes loose over time, making it nearly impossible to maintain a stable connection. For a product marketed as rugged, you’d expect a more durable and securely mounted port — especially when USB-C is supposed to be the standard for fast and reliable data transfer. I handle my equipment with care, so it’s frustrating that such a vital component would fail with light to moderate use. If you’re relying on this drive for field work or secure backups, be cautious. This is not the level of durability I expect from a “rugged” drive.
