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.

I use these for backing up files. Really love the capacity and also the look of this drive. Great fit to my work flow and doesn’t take up a lot of room in my workspace. Been using LaCie drives for more than twenty years and they have been my “go-to” drives.

works great right out of the box

I travel and shoot lots of video. Having a dependable portable drive is essential. These work, they are fast, and I haven’t had one fail yet. I will be buying more as I fill these up.

Love the ruggedness of it. Easy to use. The packaging is somewhat a drag.

Don’t fall for the hype on these, or the rugged good looks. It’s just a crappy Seagate drive stashed in an enclosure with a USB connection that can’t keep a good connection.

My laptop was starting to get really slow due to lack of storage space so I decided to look for an external hard drive. Saw that LaCie hard drive was highly recommended, so I tried it. The product was amazing,very easy to use, easy set up. B&H also delivered it on time like they always do. Very satisfied

The first Lacie 4tb drive is still running unfortunately I ran out of space and the 5tb drive is a great edition. I never thought that a 4tb drive would fill up so fast. Who knew hahaha. I do recommend the Lacie drive because of its value and reliability.

Upgraded from an old PC to a Macbook Pro a few months ago and none of my external hard drives were formatted for Mac. Got this for my MBP to use for Lightroom and some light video editing. Does everything I need it to do at a great speed. Would recommend and would probably buy more of these in the future.

Works really well. Fast and accurate. Well designed.

This thing is exactly as advertised. Speed is the same as quoted in the specs. USB C is great for future proofing. When I originally plugged it in, it’s capacity read 430mb…. Had to contact LaCie support, but we sorted it out after determining that it had created a partition for itself. Strange, but it now works great.

I bought two LaCie drives: a 2TB and a 4TB. I have several other HDs. Compared to these they stink. These drives are durable and super easy to use. Their construction makes them a little larger but worth it…just look at them and feel them. Great!

Perfect companion for a MacBook Pro Time Machine. You won’t misplace it with its bright orange collar.

Use for two days so far so good!

Solid back-up drive. A little slow for video editing, but great for backing up work.

This is an excellent product particularly for field research and backing up data. I have several of these now of varying memory capacity and so far I’m delighted with the speed, quality, capacity, and durability of this product. Excellent value for money and I highly recommend this product.
