So far so good, Just lost 10 years of data on a Seagate and lost other data on a Western Digital. Constant Travel didn’t do them well.

Wedding videographer and photographer here. I was looking for a rugged harddrive I can take with me and edit on the go. So far, so good. Really reliable product!

Takes a second to spin up but has been reliable. I use it for video editing. BMPCC 4k footage in 4k 8:1 compression.

Being a college kid with little money and a tiny MacBook Air… I needed affordable space. Fast, rugged and reliable this product is a home run. 10/10 reccomend especially if you are on a budget.

I have been using the Lacie Rugged Portable Drives for many years to back-up files and take them along when I travel. This latest drive is noticeably smaller than previous versions… a tad shorter and narrower, and perhaps 35% thinner. This model also has a light indicating power and activity. No power adapter required, and this one doesn’t even have a port for one. Can’t comment on speed of USB 3 as I’m using with USB 2 devices. My only small complaint is the maximum size available is 1TB (about a year ago I purchased an older 1.5TB version, but it is no longer available, and is not even listed on the Lacie web site).

I bought the LaCie Rugged Mini to store my photo files and work between my home PC and my school Mac in Adobe Lightroom. The initial partition set up is easy(a slide ruler), but I am still not sure exactly how to use the thing. I am computer and software savvy, yet external hard drives (especially LaCie) elude me. Reviews indicate that LaCie is top of the line. The unit itself feels great in the hand, it is classy,strong aluminum and rubber. I would love an engraved ID option like on an ipod. But the interface should be more idiot proof. I will comment after I (hopefully)figure out exactly how to use it. ps Online manuals not much help. How to videos would be great!

But other than that, this is my go-to drive. I found out about this drive via ?uestlove, so you know it’s legit.

As a designer and already got 2 to this products , i would like to said something really annoying me abut it . this is a very very good product, but they sell it as a strong one and he’s looks like , but definitely not . if you get a small pressure on the middle of the aluminium part , he is more fragile than a plastic one ! So just lying about it make me upset !!! you have a good product , do something nice ! you dont have to pretend its more solid ! just do it !

I use this to store images and after a year or so it stopped working. Seeing is how this is the only thing it’s supposed to do I have to give it a one. I’d like to give it a zero, but not an option. I’ve used many external hard drives and this is the first one I’ve ever have stop working.

When it comes to portable hard drives, La Cie is the best! This is the third time I purchase this disc. Its super easy to use and 100% reliable. Great for back up!

This product will be packed along side my Mac Air laptop, which will allow me to back up my photography while on the road. Small and rugged were 2 features I was looking for in an ext. HD. I’ll save the fifth star after using it for a couple of years.
