I’m very pleased with the quality of this product and very quick delivery. Excellent service from B&H as always.

This portable hard drive has a wonderful compact shape even with the rubber bumper guard. The capacity of storage and speed of file writing to the drive have been a much needed breath of fresh air. I will absolutely continue to buy this hard drive as my storage space depletes over time.

Ubiquitous orange drives still deliver, but slowly. Appreciate it includes USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables, but the transfer speeds are sluggish compared to everything else (as expected from a spinning disk). Great for incremental transfers, less ideal for large file transfers.

So for the folks who remember this company from 2000 and their advertisements for products geared towards the Mac market, it should be noted that as of 2014 that LaCie is a Seagate company. In as much as I have seen my fair share of 1TB + Seagate hard drives die since 2009, this was slightly disappointing to find out as I was coming close to filling up my 4TB WD My Passport Ultra and needed more capacity in a single drive. Also note: these are two physical drives in one. With that the folks who are used to throwing out the initial files contained on the drive out of the box need to refrain. The initial software is needed to put those two drives in a RAID 0, another drawback, is on the drive. There is an option to make a 2.5TB RAID 1. It’s on a 400 MB FAT32 partition initially. After setup the files are on the drive still but the 400MB partition is gone. And the setup application has to be run from the drive itself. If you backed up the files and deleted the partition trying to partition it manually, you can make another 400 MB FAT32 partition, labeled anything, and put the files back on the drive. Having to use this on the go a bunch I do like the big orange rubber surround on it. It is a few ounces heavier than my WD My Passport Ultra 4TB was: ~12.4 ounces to WDs ~9.4 or so. You don’t feel the drives rotating when you disconnect, so it seems you have some protection from minor shocks and impacts. As for performance, it seems right on par with the WD My Passport Ultra 4TB. All in All, it’s a good buy. Cool to have something from them. Just hope I don’t have to use that 2 Years of data recovery protection on the count of this being a RAID 0 implementation in practice. There just wasn’t a WD option beyond 4TB in a mobile drive out there :).

Works great, industry standard

My computer didn’t have a USB 3.1 card, so I can’t comment on how fast is this Lacie. It took several days to download a 3.5 tera backup on USB 3.0. It is very slow with normal computers. On the other side, I haven’t dropped, splashed or exposed the drive to the winds of Sahara, so I can’t comment on its toughness. Only a couple of weeks with it.

There isn’t much to say about this drive. I plugged it in and it worked as it is supposed to work. I’ve little problem with it. I gave it four stars because sometimes I get a message in Windows that there is a problem with the drive. I have not experienced a problem beyond receiving those messages, so the issue my have more to do with an old usb hub than with the drive itself.

Perfect companion for a MacBook Pro Time Machine. You won’t misplace it with its bright orange collar.
Emmy Walker (verified owner) –
great product! I’ve felt more comfortable traveling with this hard drive than any I’ve owned. Great storage, and since it’s still hard drive technology the price isn’t too bad. Only thing I wish is that the transfer speeds were snappier and that it were an SSD, so in the future I’ll probably look at the SSD options.

Easy set up. Large enough to hard many files!
Preston Schneider (verified owner) –
Nice device

It’s seems a little slow when transferring files sometimes. But it is a disk drive after all. I’m only using it to store old files I normally don’t look at or use often. I’d probably not use this hard drive to edit video projects, I’d use it mainly for storage only. SSD drives are faster and better for editing projects. Overall, the hard drive does it’s job with no problems. It looks and feels high quality and rugged. I’m content with this purchase and would recommend.

everything was exactly as expected. Very easy to use.
Ron Oberbrunner (verified owner) –
Best price/performance disk for photographers and videographers especially ones who has some risks of dust and shock.

I mounted the drive and tried to deal with the software on it. This obviously can’t handle the latest Windows, so I decided to format the LaCrie drive (I only want it for storage). After doing that, I copied files to it. After that, nothing on my Computer worked; not Explorer, not Word, not Excel. Nothing. I had nightmares about having to restore from backup. Fortunately, when I rebooted the laptop and formatted the drive again, everything worked well. Not sure it was worth the angst.

Nice look, fast speed, but sometimes it disconnects spontaneously. It can be drive or cable issues.

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
