The lacie 5TB rugged drive is one of the best drives I have ever owned. It’s fast to transfer files. You can even feel the quality just by holding it. The software that comes with it is excellent for doing automatic backup. You don’t need to think about it, be assured that it’s done. I would recommend it to anyone looking for that workhorse.

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 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.

I have seen these for years in Apple stores, with the associates actually using them, and always wondered how good these were. After doing some research a month ago, and having many files sitting in my computer of videos, pictures, etc., I decided to buy one. Perfect timing too because on Black Friday they were on sale! I have used it a handful of times, and it is quick, works perfectly with my 2020 Macbook Pro, and there are no glitches, issues, or anything of that sort at all. Great product overall, great look, and protected! I love B&H!

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

The Lacie device is great, but it came with no instructions and the associated application did not download. I had to go to their website.

I just started use Final Cut Pro for editing, LaCie Hard Drive stores all my files so my max is not running slow. I have Recommend LaCie 2TB to my co workers. I take it with me on the go and I don’t worry because of its Protective case around it and the Orange color makes it hard to forget any where. it catches the eye when I look for it. A must Have.

This is a quality hard drive for sure. I have no complaints. I use it to backup projects from my work SSD. Going to purchase two more soon. Can’t afford a NAS at the moment. So portable drives it is.

This EHD is perfect for my type of work. I’m always on the move and being able to keep everything with me has drastically helped my lifestyle as well as my work flow!

I like LaCie hard drives and I have a variety of them and have never had trouble. Until this time. I have a MacBook pro with USB-A connections, still. The drive with the USB-C cable and adapter didn’t work. It received power through the setup, but not enough to connect and give me the HD icon on the desktop. Tried all workarounds suggested, but no luck. Bought a USB-C to USB-A cable and – so far – it works.

I purchased two Lacie externals to use on my MacBook Pro, they both worked fine for about a week, then they just unmounted. Both wont work on my Macbook, iMac and even tried on my daughter’s Macbook and nothing. Brand new HD’s and they both are not working.
