Customer Ratings & Reviews

The cable that it came with would not stay in the USB port of this item. It kept falling out. I was unable to even begin to try and transfer files because of this. I returned it.

Very slow Won't recommend to use with Serato......

Had a month and a half locked up and cant use it not worth it

The drive died within two weeks of purchase. Will be returning it.

LOVE IT. This has saved my life and laptop. It's worth every penny. I love saving everything on my external hard drive and having my laptop clear. Its also convenient that I can just plug in another computer and have all my files accessible.

I've had one for years and it's the best archive drive I've got. The bumper does a good job of protecting the disk drive inside from bumps. The USB C connector overkill for the HDD inside but it's a lot more robust than the USB 3.0 mini connectors. Lots of reviews complain about the mechanical HDD being slow but speed is not the point of these. LaCie lists the max read/write speed as 130mbps, which is about as fast as you're going to get with an external HDD. Disk drives are for backing up and archiving. If/when the drive fails it's reasonably easy to recover data from a mechanical drive. SSD's are fast but when they fail they tend do do so without warning and recovering data can be impossible. Bottom line, if you want to edit directly off the drive, get an NVMe SSD, and use a journaled format compatible with your system, APFS for MacOS, NTFS for Windows etc. If you want to archive your work long-term and don't want to mess around with burning optical media or make the investment in an NAS or raid, get this.

Love this brand beyond words! I’ve had nothing but amazing experience with it. I do photography so I’m always in need of a great external hard drive. Best one!

stop working after few month . I want to exchange .

Purchased this for the price and storage size already own 2 smaller portable units from them and can’t go wrong. Great price and works great

runs smooth, compact, great for my photo editing work

I use this for Music since I DJ and my computer ran out of space. It seems very durable since it is covered by a thick rubber casing. I have been using it everyday and so far no issues, I love it. The installation for my old MAC was a bit confusing but nothing that Google couldn’t help me figure it out.

Connected seamlessly to MacBook Pro M1 Max as my backup drive. The rubber casing feels rugged.

Been editing a short film for the past few months and realized I didn’t have a backup. Eek! This was the perfect drive from a reputable company at a decent price.

It work's well enough and hasn't broken on me yet after a few months of use.

Great external hard drive, very fast ! Still yet to put it to the test in terms of ruggedness but so far I’m very pleased with it.

It works great only thing is it makes a little whirring noise once in a while, but that’s not really an issue just a heads up if you don’t like noises like that.

Easy to use but data transfer is slower than I expected. I'm accustomed to using transfer modes that are faster than USB 3, and didn't realize how much of a difference it would make, particularly for large backups. I would recommend the drive for people who do not have to transfer large amounts of data at the same time.

very sturdy and solid hard drive, I'm able to take it in any weather conditions and it works well.

An excellent choice to hold a monumental mountain of files. It’s sturdy, quick and dependable. I am very pleased.

Great for media storage! It fast for a hd drive but ssd fast!
