I was considering a SSD, but at less than $200 for 5 TB this is really good value. It is a Seagate drive. Great interface and the perfect storage for Time Machine. It is the size of a cigarette pack. Included cables are USB C to USB C and USB C to USB A. The data rate for a USB A connection is very low but who cares for a backup? It is USB and it operates off your computer’s power. It would also would be great for portable video storage in the field as it is ruggedized.

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.

I really like this drive because it feels very substantial. I love the thick rubber padding and design makes it feel very secure. Yes it is fast. I’d say Mustang fast but not Lambo fast! Works well for what I need.

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.

The drive suddenly failed and stopped working completely while I was using it. Ive never dropped it and Ive only had it for 4 about 4 months. I was in the middle of a project so I decided to open it and try to fix it myself, which ruined the warranty, and I wasnt surprised about the incident once I found out its actually just a Seagate drive inside a LaCie case…. Goodbye LaCie.

I know there are better faster options out there, but as a drive to store footage that was already edited I cannot complain. Does its job really well and is super reliable.

I have a new M1 laptop and this drive keeps ejecting itself automatically. I don’t trust it. My Sandisk has been flawless. I will just get another one of those drives

I got a new Surface Laptop Studio together with this drive. The problem I’m having with it that when I attempt to save directly to this drive, it crashes my software (Adobe Illustrator), it crashes Windows Explorer (Windows 11), and sometimes crashed the PC. It took me a minute to get an opinion on why this is happening. I believe it is simply because when the drive is idle for a while, it shuts off. And when I try to save directly to it, its not there. It wakes up quickly, but not quick enough for the system to crash. Also, when it’s asleep, I can navigate to the drive inside Windows Explorer and get a message that the drive is not there, momentarily, then suddenly, the drive is there. So it looks to me like the problem is that the drive shuts off. This may be because the drive is powered by the USB-C port on the laptop. Lastly, I sort of noticed that there was an optional driver update in Windows Updates for a Western Digital drive. I kind of hoping/wondering that Windows has noticed the problem and that this is a fix, but that’s probably wishful thinking. I haven’t had a chance to test whether this problem is fixed or not. But the drive is not going to serve me in the way I intended if I can’t save directly to it at any time. Other considerations that I have not explored is whether the laptop was on battery or plugged in when this was happening. I remember plugging it in after quickly running out of battery life but I can’t remember when the crashes were occurring. But I lost a couple hours of work. I had to start saving to the desktop then moving to this drive.

Not sure why but (!) am getting a … I missed the 32 day return call to B&H! I feel sad because I heard so much great things… it wouldn’t Mount to my macbook 16 .. I may not now too much tech but I can follow instructions on boss.

It does what every external hard drive should do without fuss. The nicest thing is the build quality and design. A lot of times on smaller films, the data has to move around and doesn’t have the luxury of being at a desk. Sometimes I have to put the hard drive on top of the computer or on the laptop. The orange rubber helps prevent the drive from slipping and also feels good when holding in the hand or handing off to someone else. It’s the small things that help put this to a 5/5 instead of a 4 or 4.5. Also, I haven’t had an issue with formatting, corruption, or degradation of the hard drive so far in a year.

We use these in pairs in the field to back up footage. Solid, reliable. Never had a problem.

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