Loved this hard drive for many years. Now with how fast and large files are today I lean to buy more SSD drives. But ive never had a Lacie fail me. Would still buy these all day

I love these hard drives especially for content backups. I film a lot of content for people and I have to store edits on the run. These are amazing for that and also read and write pretty quick. For the price, these are great budget drives.

This hard drive was purchased for the portability as well as the ruggedness. I also like the fact that it has a USB-C connection so I don’t need an adapter for my Mac. So far this drive has worked well.

Perfect, Portable External HD

I’ve bought this external HD twice. First for my MacBook Pro, to use with Time Machine. Since it’s used for a laptop, I like the fact that it has a silicone(?) bumper. But the original reason I bought it was because it was USB-C (the little one), which meant I didn’t have to get a USB-B to USB-C converter. I’ve been happily using it for a few years, It travels with the laptop (bumpy rides), and has been a breeze to use.
The most recent one I got was for my husband’s MacBook Pro. I discovered that he had NO BACK UP for his laptop (his only computer). So it was a no-brainer to get this external for him. I knew if it was anything complicated, he wouldn’t bother using it. Or, he would continuously ask all sorts of questions (What do I do to use this? (plug it in), Which slot should I plug this into? (Any slot on the MacBook) Do I really need this? (Yes, remember when you got a shutdown alert and thought you lost everything?).
He does now use this external HD, And, he even uses it to transport other files (besides using Time Machine), since the HD has so much memory.

Overall, happy with this purchase so far. I'm a filmmaker and editor, so I needed some place to offload old projects. When I do need to edit off the drive, I can confidently work on a ProTools session without interruptions. Plus, it's great that the product comes with a USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables, so I can go between my PC and MacBook Pro as needed.

I've used and still have otherLlaCie rugged hard drives. I bought this to use with macOS's TimeMachine and it worked seamlessly out of the box. Then I realized I could reformat it to work even better with my setup and, as near as I can tell, it works just as well after I partitioned it: ~4T for Time machine and ~1T for other operations. Great device!

EXTREMELY fast when connected to a Type-C Thunderbolt 3 port. So far, I am pleased with the performance and size of this external drive. It doesn't seem to suck away too much current/voltage, so I am happy with that, also. We are considering getting another one for my wife's laptop. Please note that we also use Acronis True Image for backup.

I am a professional photographer who is editing more then I would like to me so being able to take my file with me to edit on the go has been super helpful. This little drive has plenty of space to work from while on the go and I know it's going to be safe in this rugged case. Great drive from a great company. Would buy again.

i love a good LaCie drive, the 5TB holds a massive amount. Only downside is that it’s not as fast to download video like the SSD Drive

Works well. Nice rugged design! Protects against falls. I just wish that the transfer rate was a little faster. I didn't give 5 stars because I believe there is always room for improvement.

Dependable and durable hard drive. LaCie is a trusted brand, and one that we use for business. The price is reasonable, and the size of this drive can hold a lot of data. When storing this much data, it's necessary to have confidence that it will not fail. This drive definitely provides that.
