With a capacity of 5TB, the Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive from LaCie marries a USB 3.0 Type-C interface and data transfer speeds of up to 130 MB/s with rugged durability that provides a drop resistance of up to 4′, crush resistance of up to 1 ton, and rain resistance, making this drive suitable for all-terrain storage, whether you’re in the field or in your home. 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.
LaCie’s 5TB Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive is compatible with Windows 7 and later and macOS 10.12 and later, but should also work on earlier versions of macOS, such as 10.9 and 10.11.

Included is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C cable, a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-A cable, and two years of Seagate Rescue Data Recovery Services. General protection is provided by a limited 2-year warranty.

Excellent

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

I found this product to work pretty well with my MacBook. I’m able to have well enough storage, and the drive stays tight and plugged in, which is an issue I’ve had with other drives in the past.

This the third LaCie external drive I’ve purchased and all three have been on trips, dropped, and carried in brief cases & backpacks, and they keep on working. At the same time, I’ve had two other brand name drives that died without having near the wear and tear the LaCies have. I’ll be buying more LaCies in the future.

I recently bought a new computer, and needed more space to ensure that I was able to store videos before uploading to YouTube. This drive was perfect. It is small, rugged and easy to use.

So far, so good! I put in2tb of video data right out of the box. Then moved it to another drive. Everything performed flawlessly and as quickly as advertised.

Works really well. Fast and accurate. Well designed.
Madelyn Kessler (verified owner) –
So size is perfect both in space and also storage. I do wish there was another usb-c port to daisy chain two drives. But oh well.
Carolyne Larson (verified owner) –
This does the job and does it well. It’s helpful that it connects via lightning port and USB, I can go back and forth between my computers with ease.

My office has relied on LaCie rugged drives for years. This one is just as tough while being smaller and thinner than previous models.

Use it fir backup of a Mac it is very quiet and good. However for fast transfer by an ssd.
Winifred Orn (verified owner) –
Needed a reliable and affordable backup for my photos. I have another LaCie, with half the memory, that has worked; but I needed more room. I could not believe the price of this life saver.
Christa Wiza (verified owner) –
I love this hard drive and I got it really fast too! It’s really nice that I don’t need an adapter for my Macbook, can just use the cord provided.
Patrick Lang (verified owner) –
great external drive. Plug it in to my mac and it is ready to go. Very rugged and will take a beating. I’ve been using the 4TB for a few years and needed more space.

I only use LaCie HD , never have problems.
Hiram Botsford (verified owner) –
Great, reliable product. It was delivered quickly. I definitely recommend buying from B&H. I was tempted to buy from Amazon, but I’ve stopped buying electronics or computer products there as I’ve had many of those things break after one use. Pay a few more dollars and get what you expect and need.
