    • Good storage
Capacity: 5TB Style: Mini HDD
5TB like it was advertised (I’ve gotten ripped off before) It’s small enough to carry in a bag. I’ve downloaded a few things on it and it’s working great. It does come with a charger. I read a few reviews that said it didn’t so I ordered an extra. The charger is a C so unless you’re plugging into a phone or tablet you’ll want to order a USB one. I’d buy again. ... show more

    • not reliable for me on Mac machines; REVISING MY REVIEW
Capacity: 4TB Style: Mini HDD
I regret that my two year experience with this drive using Mac machines is not positive. I have not found it to be reliable. To recover files on the drive now...again...I must fire up an antique Chromebook, which sees my files so I can back them up elsewhere. It worries me and I'm not messing with this drive further. -- Same issues on newer UnionSine drive. Drives mount one time but not the next...Disk Utility hangs trying to find it...workaround is to mount the drive on my ancient Chromebook...which sees the drives and files fine...then retry on Mac...usually this works but it is really weird...I see now it has to do with how I formatted these drives as exFAT as advised...both my Macs randomly spit it out and say yuck...nerve wracking as these are important back up drives...honestly WTH why are we still having drive compatibility crap like this? So apologies LaCie it does not seem to be your fault... ... show more

I really like these LaCie rugged hard drives. The design is solid, the rubber bumper feels protective, and it’s quick when transferring files. I’ve been using mine mainly for backups and archiving, and I already plan to buy more. While it’s not the most portable external drive on the market, it’s still small enough for my needs. I take it in my backpack while traveling and it holds up great. The rugged design isn’t just for looks it’s functional. One thing I wish is that it had a USB-C port on the drive itself. The cable included has USB-C on one end, but the actual port on the drive is Micro-B USB 3.0. It works fine, but I don’t love the wide connector design, and it doesn’t feel as durable or modern as USB-C. Hopefully newer versions fix this. In terms of compatibility, I did run into an issue when using the default format. I initially had it set to ExFAT for cross-platform use, but on my MacBook it caused a frustrating issue where the drive would not eject properly it would stay stuck in the “ejecting” state forever. Once I reformatted it to a Mac-native format (APFS in my case), the problem disappeared completely. So just a heads-up for Mac users: reformat the drive to avoid this problem. As for data loss, I’ve had zero issues. I’ve done heavy backups and constant use without a single corrupted file or problem. On heat, it runs surprisingly cool. Even after transferring large amounts of data, it only gets slightly warm—nothing unusual or concerning. Lastly, I love how this drive looks. The classic LaCie orange bumper gives it character, and it fits perfectly with the clean, modern setup I’m going for. Overall, it’s a great external drive for people who want a balance of performance, durability, and style. Just keep in mind the older port design and formatting needs, depending on your system ... show more

So far so good! Super easy to use and compatible on a MacBook Pro. The orange cover is also great for protection. Big enough not to lose but small enough for convenience. Love this!!!

    • Little Drive, Big Storage
Capacity: 4TB Style: Mini HDD
This nice little drive is big in storage. I use it for Time Machine backups as the drive is seamlessly Mac compatible, and I'm very happy. Couldn't be easier to set up on Mac. Data transfer over USB3 is fast for my purposes — and that's how the drive is powered! Gone are the days when you needed an external power source — one usb3 cable serves for power source and data transfer. I understand that spinning hard drives (HDD) like this drive are better for data integrity than Solid State Drives (SSD): since my mac's drive is solid state, it makes sense to back up onto a spinning HDD — and it's much more affordable than a comparable SSD. I travel a lot, and I've been burned in the past by HDD failures due to drops, bumps, etc., but LaCie boasts protection against shock, drops up of to 4 feet, and dust and water resistance. We shall see... I'll update this review if I have any trouble. ... show more
