no not really too slow

works well; is very portable

i cannot get the thunderbolt connection up in speed

I like that the thunderbolt and USB-C connection will work when I finally upgrade to a new Mac after my laptop, a late 2011 Macbook Pro finally croaks, though it's just slow, not really failing. I bought two of these and rotate them as A & B time machine backup drives. I sleep well at night.

Tons of space. Rugged enough to take anywhere in the world.

I'm a big fan of LaCie products mainly because they are the only ones delivering portable solid state drives accompanied with USB3.0 super fast connections. I was running a bit low on storage so I decided to get a portable storage medium to move my media files over to leave more space on my computer...

Had to give it three stars as the item, a disk drive, was faulty. Amazon's returns policy is really good though and a new drive is on the way. I have four of these Lacie drives working on my system and this is the first one that has gone wrong for me and I have had no problems with Lacie products in...

Has served me extremely well till now. I have been using external hard disk for professionally making music for more than 10 years. This gives me great confidence knowing that i have the best i can get, Great

I have a 2T Rugged Lacie drive and it has operated flawlessly for years. On that basis I purchased a 5T unit. Unfortunately the drive overheated immediately and needed to be replaced. Here is where the real trouble begins. The unit is under warranty, I called for replacement directions.

Durability and style once again collide with LaCie's latest portable drive release. The Rugged Thunderbolt portable drive puts a new spin on LaCie's lineup by enhancing shock, dust, and water resistance.

Excellent physical data protection; Great performance for read and write; Integrated Thunderbolt cable

Lose USB 3.0 port and activity light when port cover is in place

At first glance, LaCie's new Rugged Thunderbolt drive doesn't look much different from it's predecessor the Rugged USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series, but the company has made some improvements to this iconic drive.

Captive Thunderbolt cable; Good shock and dust protection; Consistant and fast speeds

Bulky case

LaCie's Rugged range is designed to offer an extra level of insurance when you're lugging around data on an external drive. It features a bright orange rubber sleeve designed to protect the drive against a 1.2-metre drop, such as sliding off a table or out of your bag.
