It’s small and portable, extremely durable, pretty good price. Maybe a bit much bloatware (is it considered bloatware?) on it already- I mean, I don’t need any software on my external hard drives. But no complaints.

I wish there at least 2 connecting ports, one is USB 3.0. Needed one Thunderbolt port.

I love the size and how rugged this drive is. It is easy to pack into a briefcase. I use this to backup pictures and can get all on 1 drive.

I’ve been using this drive for a little while now and it’s extreemel fast! The difference I’ve experienced so far switching from a 5400rpm FireWire 800 drive to this has been wild. Data transfer and editing speeds are amazingly fast.

Lacie drives are all around a fantastic product. I purchased this drive specifically because of the rubber casing around it, which has served me very well since this drive travels with me a LOT. Using this drive for footage and project storage, I’m giving a solid 4 stars because of the durability, solid connections from drive to computer (so, basically the cable), and it’s reliability. I baby it, of course, because it’s not solid state. And because of that, the speed at which I edit the footage suffers somewhat because of the drive speed itself – 5400 rpms. I really need an affordable drive like this to be 7200 rpms, and thus, a one star subtraction. It’s too bad there aren’t half-stars. I’d give it a 4.5 if I could.

So far easy to use w Mac. Small and seems lots better than WD device which was a wimp and crashed on me with little cause.

The drive is fine, but the USB-C cable that came with it will not insert all the way into my laptop. I have requested a replacement. This happened on another drive ordered from BH earlier this year. Seems there is a quality control problem with these cables, which is my first experience of such troubles with BH.

I use this drive to clone two computers to help protect against ransom ware. Functions as designed.

I have several of these hooked up to my Apple Laptop. Can’t imagine it working any better. Fast & portable. Just what I need for when I’m on the go, or just editing stuff at home. Perfect!

Took this with me for a work photo and video shoot. It allowed me to upload work on-site and review before ending the day. Saved me a lot of time and effort being able to determine the interview/photo quality before releasing actors for the day. Stores a lot of information, small and portable, quick upload when you have another USB 3 device.

Plug 1 wire and play. Could not be easier. 1TB in a very small foot print.

We used these drives to send footage back and forth from NYC to LA via UPS. All drives survived the trip. Great size too.

Every day I transfer video from field Production for television to hard drives for Producers/directors to send to post production. Hands down Lacie rugged are my go too drives. They are fast, reliable, and very well made. The only downside I have found is their customer service is not the best- but given the quality of these drives, you will never need to contact them!

This is my 2nd rugged drive. I have had no problems with my 1st one and I expected the same performance out of this one. build tough and works quite well.

Fast and efficient while backing up images from my laptop while on my first real photography trip–to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. i had a fantastic trip and was happy to have a device that I felt comfortable relying on for back-up and storage. The was also a pretty fast transfer of 3000 images back to my home computer. It was reliable and is built to last. Very sturdy, but fortunately I didn’t have to test the ruggedness of the device. No serious mishaps with my equipment on this trip.
