I have two of these for my photos in conjunction with Lightroom, one for backup to keep in second location. I love it's durability and portabilty.

Got this because my old backup drive died. It works really well and fast. It comes with a USB C to USB A so you can use it on any computer. It comes loaded with a setup tool that is really helpful to create a shared partition that works with Windows.

Best hard driver ever and really safe

I was told that LaCie made "generic" hard drives. Meaning that you don't know about the make of the actual hardware inside the frame containing the external hard drive. But I must say that, so far this machine works great This is the third one I purchased.

Works really well, does what it's suppose to and looks really nice and clean.

an unacceptable percentage of the minis simply stop working. One day, you plug in the device, and it just starts clicking. The information cannot be retrieved....poof. In one case, I put the information on two minis, because I always back things up in 2 or 3 spots...and both minis died.

I had to salvage all my files from an old external drive, before it was obsolete. I bought this online at johnlewis.com, and picked it up from the store's collection point at Brent Cross, NW London.

I transferred roughly 700gb of data to this within a few days of buying this drive. Since then, it's sat on a shelf until today when I needed to access the data. My computer can no longer access the drive citing "I/O Device Failure" My data has been lost and tech support aren't even capable of...

Nice looking and rugged feeling hard drive. Using it mainly to store 4K videos to be edited on a MacBook Pro. Despite the number and size of the 4K files - there was no lag in imports and exports to the LaCie. Very happy. The rubber grip makes it easier to handle without fear of dropping it.

When I had an old MacBook Pro, I had to transfer a lot of data from my hard drive to an external. USB 2.0 is fine, but I needed *anything* that was quicker. FireWire was the only choice I had, and with the secondary USB 3.0 port, this was good for looking into a future computer with faster transfer...
