I feel like I could throw this drive and it would be fine. It’s a great size for 5TB of storage space. I will feel very comfortable traveling with this drive and no worries throwing it in my backpack around liquids.

This is my third LaCie rugged drive and is still a solid performer. Also like the ability to plug it into USB 3.0 and USB-C ports as I don’t need a dongle.

I should have listened to the other reviews. This drive is utter garbage. I just received it yesterday from B&H and immediately upon plugging it in, I started experiencing disconnect issues. I did nothing except plug it in and go to get some other drives to move data off of. So I figure it could be a format thing, I’ll just format it to MacOS like my other drives and my computer will stop losing connections with it, right? Wrong! Even after formatting the drive I still experienced disconnects. Not just one or two. But if I left this drive plugged in, it would essentially just cycle off and on and i’d get warnings on my computer saying that the drive was disconnected. So, maybe it’s just a cable issue. I was using the brand new cable that came with the drive in the box – which presumably would be a working, quality cable. But in the interest of eliminating all possible variables, I decided to try another usb-c cable, also brand new (from another drive which works great). Same issue! So, in summary: This drive constantly disconnects. It’s unreliable, defective, garbage. I would never trust my data on this drive. Lucky for me, I discovered this before ever moving one byte of data onto the drive! Immediately contact B&H support and sent it back for a refund. Take it from me, don’t buy this drive. Clearly LaCie thinks they can just ride on their reputation and not deliver a quality working product. AVOID.
