thinking this was the most reliable of external drive for backup I bought three of them – two for my husband for his photos and time machine and one time machine for me. mine failed as I tried to run time machine for the first time on a new laptop for the first time (it had served as time machine on another laptop previously and seemed fine), it ejected improperly when no one was around. seagate support tried, but it is dead. they are replacing, and luckily I still have the old laptop to put one more TM on the previous EHD, but this makes me very nervous. about to add redundancy with a different brand.

I actually dropped this taking it out of the box! The rubber cage is quite thick and bouncy. Never had any problems with it and use it as my backup for my Macbook Pro 16

The build quality is quite impressive and the ones I have haven’t failed yet. However when you are choose Lacie products often you have to sacrifice the drive performance to get that slightly more durable build quality. Without the external casing you can often get equal performance at a much much lower cost. However, safety storage is my first priority. It has been the industry standard for quite some years. I keep at least one to two backups all using the Lacie 5tb drives.

In recent years a lot people complain about the reliability of available brands. Ive been working from Lacie drives to back up raw footage for years and I have yet to have a problem.

Our organization needed a drive to transfer video, and send them across the continent. This drive is reasonably priced, sturdy, does the job. Highly recommended for anyone needing to store material at home, work or on the fly, and especially for anyone who needs to ship the files.

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 :).

this one keeps dismounting from my mac and I can’t figure out why. I’m sure it’s an easy settings fix, but I am disappointed the drive doesn’t perform flawlessly right out of the box, as other LaCie drives I’ve purchased have done.

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 have this 2TB Lacie hard drive and their 4TB one, and I haven’t experienced any issues. It runs well when I’m using Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom. The rugged bumper feature is a necessity as well, so overall it’s good quality.
