Very Dependable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I frequently purchase LaCie's for video editing and they have been very dependable. I had a bad experience with another brand and have not with this brand. I also find myself noticing my favorite podcaster use them as well so that reassures me that these are reliable.

Solid external drive.
|Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have bought my April 2023 to use exclusively on my Mac and never had any problems. I read some of the reviews complaining that the SSD didn’t work. Most likely due to not formatting. An external hard drive must be formatted for use with your Mac, especially if it was previously formatted for a Windows computer, as it may not be natively compatible with macOS.

Reliable external drive

Good Hard Drive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not much to say except it does exactly as advertised. The orange silicone is nice for keeping it protected and its not so terribly big that it's a hassle to carry around (though it is chunky). I uploaded a number of video files and RAW + JPEG files and it barely even left a dent in the storage (then again I can't really conceptualize 5TB). It comes with both a USB-C and a USB-A cord.
