Definitely the most reliable SSD brand, however I have had problems with the cable disconnecting. I bought this about a year ago and started having trouble with it disconnecting in the middle of me editing randomly. Best Buy replaced it, and while the cable is definitely still very loose it doesn't disconnect for no reason anymore.

Wow! This hard drive has been a work-horse already. It's faster than other hard drives that I've tried, and is quieter than my other ones. Many photographers recommended this one to me, and I am so happy with it so far! I've had too many hard drives crash on me, and being a photographer, I really need to keep back ups of my photos without worrying if it'll crash.

Very happy with this as my Time Machine backup. I set it up with 4TB dedicated to my backup for my 2TB MacbookPro. 1 TB is free to use however I want now.

The cost of the LaCie USB-C 5TB External USB 3.1 was very a very reasonable and useful expense. I work in video, still photography, and writing constantly and this hard driver has become my necessary backup plan and front man for all the work that I produce. I trust this hard drive because is the thing purpose that carries within it orange package almost all the important work I produce in basically one place and I am very happy about that. It does not matter if I am at home or on the road. It delivers perfectly and in every place every time without a problem which is what I am in need of everyday.

Rugged & reliable 5+ years with my original, replaced after wear on the port over time caused unreliable connection, likely due to repeatedly tossing it in my bag with a cable connected. Leave the port disconnected when traveling / storing and you should be fine.

Rugged with 5 terabytes of storage is more than enough for tons of pictures and videos. Easy to use. Just plug it in. It is heavy with the rubber armor surround. But that's what makes the product unique.

I like the portability and rugged design. Although connectivity can be somewhat of a problem. It would be better if it had a USB-C port as well as a conventional USB port.

Good price for the amount of storage you get. Pretty fast and sturdy. It does get a little warm when using it for a long period of time.
