    Outstanding hard drive. I partitioned the drive into two and use the volumes to simultaneously back up my MacBook Pro. It works great and having two volumes gives me extra security should something happen to one. Very rugged and reliable. Highly recommended.

    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.

    I have had good luck with the LaCie rugged. I generally travel with a smaller drive to shows and use the larger drive for archiving images. Great products

    I have a lot of pictures and this drive can handle them with ease. I usually carry a laptop and a drive with me. This drive survives better than my other drives and it has a great amount of storage capacity.

    A speedy and sturdy external drive for my Mac. It was plug and play with my Mac. The price is good for this much storage. The true value will only be determined by how long the drive remains functioning - so time will tell.

    It feels good in your hand. It is well built, solid. Well protected. Good investment for your most important data. Yes, it costs more than Easystore but you know what... having a media company for 20 years we go through so many hard drives I am telling you those extra bucks spent save you so much headache down the road they are well worth it. I NEVER want to deal with a hard drive failure ever again in my life and this is one more way of eliminating a weak point and giving yourself the best shot of being problem-free!

    I purchased this product for my Mac’s Time Machine backup drive. It works great and I like that it is built to be rugged, because my last hard drive broke after falling 2 feet. The color is fun as well. Please be aware that the included usb cord is short.

    A must have for video creators on the go, great drive for large amounts of data and strong enough to just be thrown in your bag, pair this with a samsung portable ssd and you will be set between archival storage and something fast to edit off of

    I've been using Lacie Hard Drives for years and I've never had a problem. I know, never say never but I will here. They're really RUGGED. I recommend Lacie to anyone who has files that need to be saved. And as a practice of mine, I always buy two. I always have a backup. Stop wasting time looking at other hard drives and buy a Lacie.

    It's a trusted drive I've used for years for video editing - using it to save my cache on, as well as for photoshoots. It's rugged and glad it's waterproof.
