    My only complaint is that the orange cable that always comes with LaCie drives never seem to be recognized by any of my Macs... The black cable provided does though o.O The drive itself is fine :)

    Actually bought this hard drive thinking it was an SSD drive (not reading I guess). Drive seems to work well. Not as fast as SSD, obviously.

    Very solid and fast external hard drive when it works. The type C port can be easily damaged and if that happens it will connect and disconnect from your computer making it very difficult to transfer or store files.

    Solid construction and beautiful design. I’ve had issues with LaCie hard drives in the past but they seem to have improved their quality.

    It stopped working after a couple years, never dropped, never got wet but my MacBook, my iMac, and my Windows Laptop could not read it anymore. I have other external hard drives like WD, Seagate and Sandisk but never had problems with them, some are even more than 10 years old but still working. Don't waste your money.
