I have several external drives and this one has held up so far. No complaints but then no one ever does till it crashes.

Feels rugged and well protected. It’s relatively small size should make it very packable without taking up much space. Read and Write speeds are fast and plenty of storage space for my uses. Haven’t drop tested it and hope I never do, but should be fine from the advertised height or below.

Lots of room. No problems with my computer quickly recognizing it (unlike numerous other external hard drives I’ve used). Use them for long-term travel so the rugged body provides peace of mind. At this price, for this capacity and ease of use, it was well worth getting a second one in order to be sure many TBs of video and photo files are safely backed up.

Great hard drive. Size is perfect for storing and traveling. Never worry about damaging it although I’m never rough with my hard drives. The exterior coating makes me feel safe with it. non rugged hard drives make me nervous. Have never had a problem with any lacie hard drives

For how much storage I got, I don’t feel bad buying this at all. Feels very solid, and the data transfer was faster than I was expecting.

Using this hard drive for mostly for media storage and keeping working files on hand. You can feel that this drive is heavy-duty. I have only used it on macs and it is easy to install the software, and is plug and play with other computers
Lawson Tremblay (verified owner) –
I use it as my everyday backup for on location shoots, or to backup my working files day after day. It’s always with me. Feels sturdy. Very fast for a portable self powered drive.

We got these for mail our clients images and video files. We just place the drive in a padded envelope and mail. When the client mails back the drives, they come back in 100% working order (=

I use these drives for Time Machine backups of my SSD drives. I like the price when they’re on sale and have never had any problems with them.

We use these drives for clients who love how small and portable they are. They are also super reliable and we have not had one fail on us yet!

I ordered and am now using a LaCie 1TB Rugged Mini external hard drive for a number of reasons: I need to be able to travel with a reasonable amount of moving image that I can share with my co-editor (also a LaCie user), so the product is not only changing hands, but also has to sustain travel, in various contexts. My first LaCie back-up drive (20 years ago?) has survived all kinds of conditions, and many years of service, so I prefer to rely on brands that have served me well! It is honestly not portable, gone are those early days of bulky, heavy equipment, at least for me! I would buy another LaCie tomorrow if needed.

This hard drive is very fast and works very well. Its size is great.
Davon Bergstrom (verified owner) –
It is pretty easy and simple to use. Just format it and transfer files.
Barrett White (verified owner) –
I store photographs and video on about 25 of these guys… Never had a problem despite dropping a few of them! Nothing negative to say about them as it does what it says it does!
Trent Kling (verified owner) –
easy start up. I kept it to the basic
Ozella Grant (verified owner) –
Nice piece for traveling and light weight.
Connie Bradtke (verified owner) –
This external hard drive is great for storage. It is a little slow when working off of it using Lightroom/Photoshop on my Macintosh, but I’m ok with that.

This product its perfect to me.
