With a capacity of 1TB, the Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive from LaCie marries a USB 3.0 Type-C interface and data transfer speeds of up to 130 MB/s with rugged durability that provides a drop resistance of up to 4′, crush resistance of up to 1 ton, and rain resistance, making this drive suitable for all-terrain storage, whether you’re in the field or in your home. It can be used to store large Lightroom libraries, as a shuttle drive to transport footage from a set to a post-production house, or just for general tasks.
LaCie’s 1TB Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive is compatible with Windows 7 and later and macOS 10.12 and later, but should also work on earlier versions of macOS, such as 10.9 and 10.11. It is powered using the USB bus, meaning that no external power adapters are required for use. Included is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C cable, a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-A cable, and two years of Seagate Rescue Data Recovery Services. General protection is provided by a limited 2-year warranty.

Works exactly as expected. No problems yet, and have been loving the form factor! Noticeably smaller than my 2TB Thunderbolt 2 drive. Build quality is great as always from LaCie. I have confidence in the security of my files even with my always going lifestyle.

Great storage device that works in multiple environments. A must have for any serious photographer.

I’ve had this drive about 2 months now. I’m using it with an M1 Mac Mini. I bought it as a cheaper alternative to SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs.I use it primarily with Lr, Ps and Pr. It’s actually so slow in rendering previews in Lr that I won’t buy another. It’s TB/$$ ratio is good but not if it’s frustrating.

I like LaCie hard drives and I have a variety of them and have never had trouble. Until this time. I have a MacBook pro with USB-A connections, still. The drive with the USB-C cable and adapter didn’t work. It received power through the setup, but not enough to connect and give me the HD icon on the desktop. Tried all workarounds suggested, but no luck. Bought a USB-C to USB-A cable and – so far – it works.

After using two other brands of hard drives, both of which crashed and I spent over 700 each to get them restored, I decided to try a new brand. This came highly recommended by B&H staff, so because of that, and the small size, Im giving it a try. So far…no issues!

This LaCie Hard drive performs well with the Mac Mini M1.

You can get most other 1TB hard drives for under $85 but you wont be able to throw it at a concrete wall like this one.

I have had several hard drives and this one I can throw in a bag and not have to be concerned. The rugged durability also makes it not concerning if I have an accidental coffee spill near by. Had an older version of this as well 10 years ago and still working like a champ
