It runs like butter, looks like fire.

I now have two of these. Transferring video/photos from camera to computer to external is super fast via airdrop and Thunderbolt. Great product!

Excellent external SSD that is fast, has a reasonable amount of storage, and has contemporary connection (USB-C or Thunderbolt). It is rugged and has very fast read and write speeds. It is also very very light. The small size makes it even more attractive to resolve an SSD need as one can easily store the SSD after backing up data at a safe place. As some people have already mentioned the connection cable included in the package is really short so one may have to get a longer cable if a short cable does not address your needs. I transferred data from an old WD my book that was bought in 2014 and back then it was a one or two year old model. So it didn’t have fast transfer speeds and the whole data transfer took a long time but I am noticing the LaCie SSD is seriously fast with its lightning read and write speeds.

I had the 2 TB one and had to go for the 4. Worth every penny. Soo fast and reliable.

So far, so good with this drive. I bought two, and they work at warp speed. My only complaint is the price. B&H’s price was fair for the market, but I look forward to the prices of devices like this dropping as SSD drives become the norm.

Speeds are not even close to what’s reported. STAY AWAY. Buy something else. I’ll update my review if something changes but have not been happy with the speeds.

I picked this external drive up for my music production setup and it has definitely delivered on it’s promise. It has fast, light and sturdy. My workflow has benefited from its speed. It is convenient to move around (even when plugged in) due to is small size and light weight. And its durability gives me confidence when I put it in my backpack and take it with me.
