LaCie Rugged USB-C, 4TB, Portable External Hard Drive, Drop, Shock, Dust, Rain Resistant, for Mac & PC (STFR4000800)

Compact, rugged and ready take all the data you can give… (Disclaimer:it can only take as advertised) It’s like wizard magic as I watch the progress bar sling data at blazing fast speeds.

Product seems to work as described, however seems possibly slower than the Lacie it replaced. Time Machine says its going to take 12 hrs to back up my 1tb internal hard drive. Pretty bad, if this is actually the time it will take. On the other hand, once it makes the initial backup, new backups in theory will take less time. We will see. I have a drive sled with conventional drives and a SATA interface... that may be the fix, and this may get returned. Ok, 1 hr later, and now the IMac says 3 hrs to go... which is not so bad. I will add another star. It actually completed in 2-3 hrs, which is good enough, raised to 4 stars. I will update this review as I learn how the product performs. Update: Product seems to work fine, very similar to the old Lacie it replaced, just more compact. I have it working with time machine on my Mac, and it all seems to function. I will update this review to 5 stars.

with the price of ssds skyrocketing, this is a good alternative until they come back down. I love that its usbc. its very user friendly and the value is incredible. the write speeds are decent.

Perfect for backups.

I screwed up. Thought I had SSD and it was HDD. That's my screw up. I was on autopilot when I bought it, opened the package, and connected to my device, so I'm not going to ding the company with a low review for my screw up. BUT it's always worth it to spend extra get and SSD drive. They are WAY better, more durable, and as a result often longer lasting, which is what you want in an external storage device.

I had bought this drive as my previous one (different brand) ran out of storage. I thought this would be extremely reliable as my work used them as an external drive. After less than a year of usage with only half of the storage being used, this drive fails to connect to my laptop and pop up. I am very careful and cautious of my equipment and is a result of no foul play or misuse (I bought a separate case to keep the drive away from debri/dust, and as a protectant). Not only is this extremely disappointing but the same thing is happening to the drives at work. To me, this doesn't seem to be at fault of the individual drives, but the model in general. It was great it in the time in which it worked, but less than a year of use and having issues is upsetting and a waste of money. I have had previous drives that have lasted me years and years with no issues. Luckily I was able to back up a lot of my information so I am not upset about any loss of information, but wanted to warn others about this model!! You can find cheaper and more reliable pieces of equipment out there.

For this price point, I should be getting at least 5 TB, if not more. Otherwise I love it.

This is my second one. I purchased this one to JUST hold Genealogy files, have another for all my other files. Purchased first one about 2 years ago. I use both with a Macbook. I probably overbought what I needed for 2nd one but I liked 1st one so much, I just went with it. I have a Seagate as an add'l backup as well. These seem "faster" to work from, when using for Genealogy, all my files are on this drive, don't keep them on computer. They open just as fast as files on computer. They were both plug in and go from the start - liked that. I'm not a techie. Wish cords were a little "tighter" can pull out easy if you move it. I cut a little smidge of the orange case away near the plug and that helped. I use BackBlaze, no problem with back-up there or on Mac Time Machine either.

Jestem bardzo zadowolona, produkt spełnił moje oczekiwania.

Feels rugged. Working well so far.

Fantastic buy. Worth its weight in gold. Very sturdy to carry around.

Roket ürün, hem kendisi hemde kablosu oldukca saglam fakat okuma yazma hızları düşük SSD ile karıştırarak almayın. Backup vs işleri için gayet ideal.
