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.

After losing data on a similar storage device because of a very slight accidental drop on the floor, I decided to try the LaCie “rugged” external hard drive. It really lives up to its advertised benefits. This is truly rugged. It has been dropped on the rocks on several outings and still works just as it did right out of the box. I’m a believer. No more lost data for me.

My first copy but seems like it won’t be the last one. Transferring speed is really good. Using primarily while on the move. Will consider buying again soon.

I’ve used rugged drives for years for on-the-go road backups and quick offloads. It’s form factor and track record of successful backups will keep me coming back.

Works as advertised. Connects easily to the iMac and provides plenty of space for video editing. Looks portable too but I leave mine in place.

I have 2 other LaCie Rugged drives that I love. I started purchasing them several years ago, and need an extra back up drive. These drives work great for that. So if you looking for a reliable back up drive these are the drives for you!! Ps. If you are looking for some solid SSD’s I recommend LaCie Rugged SSD’s as well.

I really wish I could like this product as all of my fellow photog friends do, however within the month I purchased it, it corrupted and I lost about 5 years worth of work on it. Thankfully I had a backup elsewhere but the drive was deemed unreadable and I had to throw it away. Switched to buffalo since then.

Lacie drives always the goto. An affordable and high functioning and tough drive. A good drive if you’re on the move and don’t have a set workplace.

I am going on a cruise vacation, and will be packing a Chromebook to review and backup memory cards from three cameras. I will use the card reader to transfer video clips and photos from cameras to chromebook. And then from chrome book to hard drive. Have tested this process and it works great.
