    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.

    Best external drive I have bought. It is expensive but has a lot of memory and is so easy to use. I find it more user friendly than the other external drives I have purchased in the past. I put all of my photos on it and to transfer from and to my laptop is so easy. Highly recommend.

    Good USB Drive. As far as rugged goes, it's got a silicon bumper around it. Fast speeds. Maybe a bit more expensive.

    Used to add storage to the PS5. Keep in mind this is more so for the PS4 games to lessen up used space on the console storage. For PS5 games, i recommend an SSD

    Awesome speeds and optimal storage I love it. I use it for music production in ABELTON. It works perfectly for what I need to do. I can have several tracks recording at the same time with zero CPU overloads.

    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.

    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!

    If you purchased a 2022 MACBook Pro and need to back it up save yourself the time and headache and just buy this for your Time Machine needs. I tried using my old drive with USB A with an adapter that had a USB C output for my MAC. Time Machine didn't like this no matter what I tried (doubling space on my drive, ensuring it was APFS formatted, etc). I finally read that the type of adapter I was using may have been the issue but instead of buying another type of adapter I just bought this drive. I formatted it once I bought it and Time Machine went to work on it no problem. Great drive, fast backup. Atlantic Store Best Buy staff were very helpful with questions and fast/easy checkout.

    I've used many of these. They travel well and are good and sturdy. Since it uses the USB-C type, the drive comes with 2 cables, one with USBC on both sides, and one that has a USBC to USB3 so it will work in most any computer from the last 10 years.

    Great little hard drive. Well, not small by any sense really, but it works, includes everything you'll need to plug it into and modern computer you come across! I use this for backups, and I don't think anything else inspires the same confidence Lacie does to throw a bunch of files on her, and then throw it in a bag or into storage.

    Truly great hard drive, it has plenty of space, and it is well protected against any trouble! It is not big, and can easily find its space in a bag or a backpack. The rubber around the hard drive is really good, and I believe it will protect from different impacts! Also, this orange color is funny, I like it too!

    As a creative professional who's always on the go, I needed a tough external hard drive. It's perfect for my clumsiness and I've already dropped them several times during my travels. The 5TB capacity is amazing for storing all my huge RED videos, and design files. Plus, the USB-C connection with USB 3.0 adapter makes it easy to transfer files between all my devices. It even works with both Mac and PC! Overall, a great choice for anyone who needs a durable and spacious external hard drive.
