I’ve purchased multiple LaCie portable hard drives over the past few years and I wouldn’t choose any other hard drive. The device is small/compact and fits perfectly in my laptop carrying case. The device is fast and I LOVE that I can store a ton of data on it and not have to worry one bit about whether or not it’ll still be there in another year or so. Hands down one of the best hard drives out there for my traveling needs!

I have used a LaCie Rugged USB External Hard Drive as a backup device for over 10 years. This is a very reliable product. When I purchased a new computer with a Type C drive I did not hesitate to upgrade to a LaCie Type C drive knowing it would be just as reliable.

Drive is as described. Seems rugged (haven’t put it to the test yet) and works well. I get about 95 MB/s read and write, so the absolute fastest but fast enough for archival needs.

The lacie 5TB rugged drive is one of the best drives I have ever owned. It’s fast to transfer files. You can even feel the quality just by holding it. The software that comes with it is excellent for doing automatic backup. You don’t need to think about it, be assured that it’s done. I would recommend it to anyone looking for that workhorse.

…so far.

Works as expected right out of the box. I use a manual backup system for all my photos. Used a 2T Seagate untill I filled it up. Don’t konw why the change of name to LaCie, but this version has a USB-C. Well worth the cost.

Exactly what we needed and great customer service on the floor.

My dad, uncle, and cousins all use B&H. I’ll admit it’s been a while since I last ordered. However, B&H never disappoints. They have top notch professionals for consulting and do a great job in packing. The gear is always pristine and exactly as advertised. What more could someone ask for?
Van Parisian (verified owner) –
No problems at all. Loaded properly and is functioning as expected as the Time Machine repository on an iMac. If there’s only one thing to say: It works as promoted; and B&H is a timely provider at a reasonable price.

The LaCie 4TB Rugged USB external hard drive is rugged and reliable. While it’s not fast like a solid state drive (SSD), it’s useful for backing up data and transferring data from one computer to another while traveling. Fast shipping by B & H Photo, too.

Pretty good so far, I got it for a production class as an external hard drive was required. The brand came recommended by others and I haven’t had any issues.

I have struggled with failed drives in the past. This holds up well. I have also had issues where a drive will not take footage from my Sony a7siii, no problems here.

I have had a previous version of this portable drive for years. This upgrade of 5TB should store photos and videos for years to come. I’ve had other drives fail, so this is the only kind I take on vacation.
Estelle Koelpin (verified owner) –
This is the first LaCie drive I’ve purchased, I love that it is rugged like I had famously seen before I only give it 3 stars because I’ve already had it disconnect from my laptop mid-edit, and so I don’t see a better performance than from my cheaper External Drives With this being said, I will probably continue to buy drives from LaCie because it’s a pain looking for a better one

Love these rugged drives. Have a 2tb for backup works flawlessly
