My new Mac only has 256 gigs so this will be very handy.

This LaCie portable external SSD hard drive is fast and very light, making it very convenient for quick transfers of large data files on a device that will fit in one’s pocket without creating a sense of bulk. The only unappealing trait is the USB-C cable which is stiff and retains the bends created by LaCie when packaging the product for sale.

I thought it was my MacBook Pro giving me issues then I switched to a somewhat faster drive and it helped speed up video editing in 4k… but I researched best drives for 4k video editing and this came up. I just started using it this week and WOW the import time was crazy fast and then the lagging in my MacBook has ceased. I’m writing this prematurely as I haven’t finished my project yet but wow – so relieved I might have all problems solved and found the solution to my lagging editing situation. I wish they had it in 4TB Bc some of my projects are large … I got the 2TB

A sleek portabke SSD drive with super fast data transfer to/from PC or laptop. 1Tb makes also for plenty of room for photis, videos. The only reason i didn’t give a 5 star rating is that it took some tweaking to insert properly the provided connecting cable.

I had a mechanical spinning back up prior to this purchase and I was use to plugging it in and walking away for it to complete in like 15 minutes. This one backed up my whole computer within 5 minutes. Crazy fast. I hope it is just as reliable, too soon to tell.
