    Excellent external hard drive. TOUGH. Lasts. Fast enough (most hard drives are about the same speed until you go to SSD). This is carried around frequently. Holds up very well. Used for storing video that I am editing. Simply excellent.

    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.

    This little guy has been a great workhorse for all my social media images - that I have copied from numerous drives and can keep I one place. Love that it is protected with a rubber shell - I use it on more than one PC.

    The only thing id say is to upgrade the usb-c cable for faster transfer speeds but other than that its so good!

    I bought the product, used it and it was a good product. If you'd need the use of a product like this, than id say use this product. And that is my review of this product.

    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.

    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.

    Love this little LaCie - bought it to transfer files from old Win 10 PC - works like a charm, easy drag and drop. Rugged case helps to ease worries about damaging the drive.

    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 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

    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

    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!

    As a mobile dj I was looking for something that would be able to hold all my files but perform well too. This has been amazing it barely filled up half way, and the ruggedness outside is perfect in case it falls it won’t easily break
