  • Perfect for Workflow
Style: Rugged mini HDD Capacity: 1TB
The media could not be loaded. I couldn’t be happier with my decision! As a video and graphic designer, having reliable and efficient storage is crucial, and this device delivers on all fronts. Design: The sleek and modern design of the Lecie external drive is both stylish and practical. It has a compact form factor that easily fits into my laptop bag, making it perfect for on-the-go work. The build quality feels robust, and I appreciate the matte finish that resists fingerprints and smudges. Practicality: This external storage is incredibly user-friendly. It’s plug-and-play, which means I was able to start using it immediately without any complicated setup. The included USB-C connection ensures compatibility with my MacBook Pro, and it even comes with a USB-A adapter for older devices. Fast Transfer: One of the standout features is the transfer speed. I’ve tested it with large video files, and the data transfer is impressively fast. Copying and moving files is a breeze, allowing me to focus more on my projects rather than waiting around for uploads or downloads. Seamless Performance: It works flawlessly with my MacBook Pro. I’ve experienced no lag or connectivity issues, and it integrates seamlessly with my workflow. Whether I’m editing high-resolution videos or managing graphic design assets, this drive keeps up effortlessly. Overall, the Lecie 1TB external storage is a fantastic investment for anyone in creative fields. It combines style, speed, and practicality, making it a must-have for video and graphic designers. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • ONLY HAD IT ONE DAY AND....
Style: Rugged mini HDD Capacity: 4TB
This may be premature but this is the nicest hard drive that I have ever owned. I was going to purchase a less expensive drive that would give me more storage (like the 12 tb) but I am glad that I didn't. First of all, I read some of the reviews that spoke negatively on the cord that comes with it. I was fortunate enough to have a slot on my laptop for it. I LOVE the cord. Not only does it free up an extra usb port but most importantly it may be one of reasons I was able to transfer 260gbs in an hour. I'm not always up on the latest so to me, that's lightning. Did I forget to mention that while it was transferring those 260gb, I didn't hear a sound. With those qualities you would think that this drive needs to be plugged into a wall.....Nope. Lastly, I actually like the orange casing. This hard drive is handling heavy workloads with ease. The orange vest seems appropriate. 5 stars all the way. Stop searching. Buy this drive or one of his siblings. Peace and Blessings everyone. ... show more

  • Rugged portable hard drive at a good price
Style: Rugged mini HDD Capacity: 1TB
I have several of these, previously 1 TB, and now also 2 TB. They work flawlessly with Time Machine on my MACs. Several are about 10 yrs old, and none have failed, even after a drop to the floor. Because they all have USB ports, they'll always be useable with future systems, even if they need an adapter. ... show more

  • Not working after 2 weeks of use.
Style: Rugged mini HDD Capacity: 2TB
I purchased this to have in my stash as a photographer and when I went to use it, it is not working. It’s not durable. The cord doesn’t stay in the hard drive and keeps disconnecting. Very frustrating as a creative who has to store photos and do post production.

  • Update: Works OK after mysterious initial failure
Style: Mini HDD Capacity: 5TB
REVISED 01/01/25: I purchased this to back up a half-full 6TB Seagate Backup Plus drive that's acting flaky, attached to my MacMini. UPDATE: The drive came formatted EX-FAT (Mac and Windows compatible) with a USB-C to USB3-Micro B "Super Speed" (two lobes, for the drive) cable. With no spare USB-C ports on my MacMini, I used a Samsung USB3-A to USB3-Micro B cable from an older Seagate drive into a Sabrent USB3-A hub on the MacMini. It worked fine at first, then failed as described below. Retrying with the LaCie cable into a USB-C to USB3-A adapter into the hub worked. Super sensitivity in the Mac system? I have no other explanation as the drive continues to work on Windows PCs with the old Samsung cable. INITIAL REPORT: It mounted fine out of the box, and macOS Disk Utility recognized it as a 5TB volume "LaCie." The first few copy batches of multi-GB files and folders worked OK, but then copying stopped, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 reported "Copy operation stopped, volume disappeared." (WTF??). macOS Disk Utility no longer sees the device. It mounted as a USB volume on Windows 11, and I could see the copied files. Windows reported disk problems so I ran the Scan & Repair utility (Properties->Tools), which took a while but reported a successful repair. Trying again on macOS, and the same result: The drive starts up (vibrates) as expected but doesn't mount and is still invisible to the Disk Utility app. ... show more

  • Easy to use with MacBook Pro
Style: Rugged mini HDD Capacity: 2TB
I had an issue with the Sequoia 15.1 update with my (aging) MacBook Pro. I bought this drive to create a clone drive as well as a Time Machine backup in case the 'nuclear' option of updating the computer went sideways. Re-installing the operating system after backing up went fine. Having the peace of mind of a good back up was a great 'plus'. I'm updated, but thinking that my 7 year old MacBook Pro will have to be replaced in the next year or so. This drive helped give me some wiggle room to not replace the computer now. $89 well spent, in my humble opinion. ... show more
