You always hear how vulnerable external drives can be. LaCie takes those concerns away by providing a durable effective storage device

Very compact and solid. It was very easy to initial set up. New to LAcie and will try more product from them.

love it, the best one.

Use this as a back-up when I travel. Like its compactness and the ability to store large files.

This is a great and fast device, my second from BH Photo. I’m getting the one with the most storage next time, as I will keep coming back to this brand and buying through the amazing BH Photo (fast shipping, great packaging, and if ever I have questions, helpful reviews online and knowledgeable in store sales people to call). This device is rugged, fast, reliable and recommended by me.

Hard drive well protected, but cables provided are of poor quality. Works satisfactory tho. Would suggest the type C model

Works well and is very light to travel

I will be spending a lot of time in the middle of rural south east Asia, and the LaCie rugged seems like the best bet. The usb powered drive will allow me to back up photos on the laptop without any power. Ok then.

Small, lightweight, rugged, affordable, and works like a charm.
Bernie Donnelly (verified owner) –
Using this as a backup for my media files and it works great. On-site production takes a toll on your equipment and this hard drive holds up to the wear and tear.
Rosie Russel (verified owner) –
Excellent purchase.
Vita Farrell (verified owner) –
The drive itself is fast and rugged. Perfect cord length and no do-dad’s or whistles to get in the way. I will be purchasing these throughout the next few months as space becomes limited on my MBP. Super awesome, if you need a fast, reliable 1TB drive for a great price, buy this.

Mobile and efficient

Solid drive at a great price for the amount of storage

I USE IT FOR BACK UP AND TRANSPORTING MY FILES TO AND FROM THE OFFICE. IT’S FAST, RUGGED AND RELIABLE. AND IT LOOKS COOL TOO. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE CONNECTION ON THE BACK OF THE DRIVE. IT’S VERY THIN AND CAN BE A BIT DIFFICULT TO CONNECT.

As the lead IT manager for a Mid-size advertising agency in Soho, I have many of our creatives requesting hard drives to offload digital photos/raw video while on the shoot. The Lacie Rugged allows us to transport data with less worry of damaging the harddrive and also is powered through the Firewire cord so there is one less cord to have to deal with, and in our case when travelling to other countries from time to time frees us the worry of another power cord. The data rate is also extremely fast which keeps the impatient ones from waiting too long for the latest batch of images for our advertising needs. I highly recommend these drives.

Very useful and apparently durable external hard drive. Had a problem with the LaCie partitioning/drive set-up software. (Backup program indicated an error). This was resolved by erasing the drive and reformatting via Mac’s disk utility. Otherwise, seems to work great for my purpose – back up.

Anyone who uses external hard drives for video work knows that brands come in and out of favor due to manufacturing changes. For the most part, LaCie has treated me very well (knock on wood) and so I tend to come back to them for their reliable rugged drives. I do location work and it’s nice to have a portable for back up as well as a small (in size) drive for mailing to clients across the states. On the why tip, B&H is THE source. They’ve never messed up a delivery or order for me. I can only assume their customer service is top-notch, as I’ve yet to ever need them. I really appreciate B&H’s commitment to price, value, supply and information/reviews on their products.

This thing is perfect for those that travel! Rugged case makes sure that you don’t lose your files after dropping the drive 🙂

Several people have indicated that the included cable is one-of-a-kind and unique to LaCie. This is not the case. It is a standard USB 3.0 micro b connector. You can purchase one at many retailers, including here at B&H, for under $10.
