My laptop was starting to get really slow due to lack of storage space so I decided to look for an external hard drive. Saw that LaCie hard drive was highly recommended, so I tried it. The product was amazing,very easy to use, easy set up. B&H also delivered it on time like they always do. Very satisfied

I previously had a sandisk hard drive and I always had issues with the cord disconnecting in the middle of my editing sessions. But I have no issues with my LaCie!

this unit works very well in conjunction with my Mac computer and is fairly fast at storing my photos and keeps them safe.

I’ve bought and used 4 of these drives and think they’re great but the connection issue I’ve had when it comes to the reliability of the cable/port for USB-C, in general, isn’t super great which is why I’m giving it 4 stars.

I’ve had this drive about 2 months now. I’m using it with an M1 Mac Mini. I bought it as a cheaper alternative to SanDisk Extreme Pro SSDs.I use it primarily with Lr, Ps and Pr. It’s actually so slow in rendering previews in Lr that I won’t buy another. It’s TB/$$ ratio is good but not if it’s frustrating.

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 am satisfied with this purchase. However, using its software online wasn’t successful with my laptop. Manually transferring files from my laptop’s local drive to the hard drive works just fine.

Love this HD. The 5TB is smaller and lighter than the 4TB – good thing! It also runs more quiet and less hot than my previous 4TB. The only thing is the Type-C connector comes easy off so that is a minus especially if you are out and about in rugged terrain and not just on your desk. Overall a great, great portable HD for a good price. Highly recommended!
