  • One of the best portable hard drives for the price
Capacity: 5TB Style: Mini HDD
The LaCie Rugged 5TB portable hard drive has been one of the best options out there for the price in my experience. It offers a lot of storage, feels durable, and gives extra peace of mind with the rugged design, especially if you travel or move gear around often. I like that it is simple to use, works reliably, and has a solid reputation for handling everyday backups, photos, videos, and larger files. The compact size is also convenient, making it easy to carry without feeling fragile. A very strong choice if you want high capacity, dependable performance, and better protection without spending too much. ... show more

  • Solid construction - very reliable
Capacity: 5TB Style: Mini HDD
I order one of these LaCie drives every single year as a self-employed photographer. Have been for many many years and have never had one of these drives fail. They are super reliable, travel easily, and are sized perfectly for those on the go. Highly recommend.

  • 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

  • Update: Works OK after mysterious initial failure
Capacity: 5TB Style: Mini HDD
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

  • Perfect for lots of storage needs!!
Capacity: 5TB Style: Mini HDD
The media could not be loaded. We really love this external 5 TB HD and it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. We were a bit weary at first because of the price, but it turned out to be totally worth it and will save us lots of time and money on computer storage in the long run. The storage allows us to back things up on the HD instead of the computer’s HD, which has sped up the computer’s performance and made it easier to use. We also like having our files backed up in multiple places in case an SD card was to corrupt, we would not lose any pictures! This does the trick perfectly and also comes with the chord to connect it to your device. It’s super easy to use right away and is very durable and sleek. The color is nice and the casing is very protective, so you don’t have to worry about anything happening to it or your files stored on it. We are very happy we invested in this product and will be buying again when this one is full! ... show more

  • BEWARE - LaCie/Seagate insists I received a forged/refurbished (not new) hard drive
Capacity: 5TB Style: Mini HDD
UPDATE: After this hard drive promptly failed within 5 months of purchase (with very important data that was not recoverable), the hard drive manufacturer Seagate told me directly that Empire Premium Products (AKA JMP Premium Enterprises LLC) **is not an authorized seller of Lacie hard drives and likely sold me a faulty product.** Rather than the drive being under warranty (as advertised) when it failed, the faulty drive was not considered under warranty and not replaceable by the manufacturer (Lacie/Seagate) due to the reasons outlined below: -I purchased this Lacie 5TB Portable External HDD drive on Amazon November of 2023. -It failed April of 2024. -ALL efforts to recover data aside from sending it into the manufacturer were exhausted, so I sent it in to the manufacturer to attempt data recovery. -When the dead/faulty drive was supplied to the Lacie manufacturer (Seagate) to attempt data recovery, Seagate discovered that the internal hard drive **did not match their records for the external serial number,** and therefore the product was likely a forged product (which voided their warranty). -This allowed Seagate to not even attempt data recovery on my drive because the drive itself was fraudulent. I repeat, Seagate insisted that the internal hard drive component DID NOT COINCIDE with the serial number of the external casing (so was likely a refurbished, Frankensteined drive with a recycled exterior casing). ---In greater detail, Seagate asked for my original receipt from Amazon, and once they saw the seller name: EMPIRE PREMIUM PRODUCTS, they said this seller is "not an authorized seller" of Lacies, accused the seller of providing me with a "forged" drive, and said that Seagate did not have to attempt to retrieve the data and was not obligated to provide me the originally-promised replacement hard drive due to voided warranty. Seagate insists that they can easily search for the external serial number (on the orange case) in their database, and an internal serial number will be associated to that serial number on file for the external casing. They said, 'Take it up with the seller.' -Well, the seller (Empire Premium Products) does not have a contact email, only a number (if you want to call China directly), and for clarity, **the support tab for this product goes directly back to Lacie/Seagate, not to Empire Premium Products.** -Ironically, when Lacie/Seagate returned my dead hard drive (after not even attempting data retrieval, they only returned the internal drive component without the external casing). **Seagate says they have "recycled" my external casing (the orange and metal exterior portion) and that's why they did not send it back to me.** *****-Now to me, this is concerning, because anyone with a functioning brain can deduce that a "recycled" orange casing floating around in the world ... I don't know ... JUST MIGHT END UP AS ANOTHER EXTERNAL CASING ON A REFURBISHED INTERNAL HARD DRIVE SOLD ON AMAZON. -In an Amazon message stream with Empire Premium Products (AKA JMP Premium Enterprises LLC), they said months ago (July 14, 2024) that they would refund the full amount of the product. From the seller: "We are sorry to hear there has been a problem with your order. Could we offer you a 100 percent refund and you can keep the item?" lol... My response was "A refund is appropriate considering the situation. Thank you." *****THIS DEFECTIVE, FAULTY, (likely forged/refurbished) PRODUCT ORDER WAS NOT REFUNDED UNTIL January, 28 2025, despite it failing April 2024. -If ZERO stars was available, that is what I would select for this product experience. -I would also give a "Zero Stars" review for the seller, but too much time has passed since the original order and I don't have the opportunity to review Empire Premium Products (AKA JMP Premium Enterprises LLC). ... show more
