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.

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

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.

This drive is very easy to use. I store music applications with their contents on it. It's works as expected, although not as fast as an SSD drive. I use it with a MacBook Pro. Note: there's only one TB connection, so you can't daisy chain it.

Good harddrive....spacious and really like the raid capabilities and the diferrent options to use raid based on the users personal uses.

This is now my main backup drive and everything about it is fast. Besides, for me (I work in petroleum exploration), ruggedness a very important factor, which is why I went with the SSD design in the first place.

Fast, fast, fast..; and reliable

All good; as far as I am concerned

Bought to link directly with a new MacBook pro this Hard drive is simple plug and play as is super fast. It will be travelling with me everywhere and this is the reason for this particular drive. This is my second drive now.

Now 3 months on, working well as backup disk & good speed for photos & iTunes. Also, has options for connecting ports. I've had a 1GB LaCie Rugged for several years so expecting long lasting & rugged/durable again

Easily fast enough to run audio plugins and samples from when connected via usb-c
