Rugged Mini, 2TB, 2.5", Portable External Hard Drive, for PC Mac iPad and iPhone, Data Rescue Service (LAC9000298)

GREAT DANE PROOF! these hard drives may be the toughest hard drives around. if you have kids or dogs like me I highly recommend them. I came home one day to my Great Dane puppy throwing one of these up in the air in my back yard and and trying to catch it. he had pulled the cord out and chewed entirely around the sides of it. all while doing this in the dirt pit in the middle of my yard.( my fault I left the hard drive on a table next to my couch.) well fast forward to a year and a half later and I still am able to use this hard drive as normal. I recommend them all day. transfer speeds are good. rubber case is durable. and no issues with compatibility for my Mac.

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!

Good LaCie and I recommend it to all DJs and upcoming DJs

I love the LaCie Rugged drives. We used them as our preferred drive at the service bar for a particular large computer company for all eleven years I was with them. These drives are wonderfully reliable and have an added layer of protection in the form of a bright orange rubber bumper. The one odd thing is they have not transitioned to usb-c connectors on the drive. They are still using the odd extended micro USB, and have included a cable. So you’ll need to make room for this cable in your life. The drive comes formatted as exFAT, which is fine. macOS can easily reformat to macOS journaled in a few moments using disk utility. Your choice, but it’s accessible as soon as you mount it in macOS. The drive itself is super quiet and has very low vibration when running. And this price is great! I needed extra storage for my 128gb M1 MacBook Air and when I saw this it had already hit buy before I realized I was doing it.

Honestly floored that I was able to get this on sale, this has been a necessity in my film classes. Getting the software installed was an easy process. The hard drive is decently quick in transferring files to and from, it also doesn't really heat up. It's perfect for film and photography.

It’s not very old yet. It was performing excellent until today it didn’t went to load everything. Scary!!!! My last spin drive died and cost me tons to get my data back. It’s on this now. Definitely formatting my second one for back up.

Really sturdy durable drive very dependable

Works as it should. Very easy to use and compact!

I got this in desperation, after my iMac decided it did not like WD for backing up. It still did not work with this LaCie. Frustrated, because this was a new drive and expensive, I narrowed down the issue to my RAM upgrade. As soon as I removed the faulty memory and replaced it with the original Mac memory, bam it did my backup in 20 minutes. It was an expensive purchase $160 for only 2TB, but this will be my trusty reliable backup drive for my iMac to come. I don't want to go through what I did again. Starting from scratch 3x. Without a backup because the Mac corrupted my other two WD drives with the backups. If you are on the fence, trust me when I say that in the end, it's not worth losing data and time to start over. The build is amazing. It's solid, small and has a led indicator light. Comes with two cables and Adobe Creative suite free trial. It's supposed to be rain proof, drop proof and can handle 1 ton runover by a truck. SHIPPING: Arrived sooner than expected with Prime in a bubble envelope no signature. No padded packaging by Amazon. Lucky I was home and saw it stuffed in my mailbox. If someone stole it, it would have been a nightmare. If it was not the Rugged LaCie, I would have returned it and asked for padded secure shipping. CON: the USB plug into the drive wobbles and does not fully insert. This is a problem if you travel or use this drive on the go. At home you can carefully leave it undisturbed, but why make something so solid to make a delicate USB connection? And this is the latest new drive from LaCie. They might have done this to make room for silicone, but it is better to have a secure connection. I tried removing the silicone protection and inserting the USB that way but it still does not fully click in and insert. There is a gap. Just be very careful about this. The quality otherwise feels amazing with it's thick aluminium casing. I still recommend it for MAC.

O HD LaCie Rugged Mini é, aparentemente, um produto bastante sólido e resistente, apesar de não ser o modelo LaCie Rugged. Ao conectá-lo pela primeira vez, você, comprador, verá alguns arquivos da empresa com o passo a passo para registrá-lo no site da mesma, e a licença gratuita de 1 mês da Adobe Creative Cloud, na qual terá direito. (Pelo menos, quando eu comprei o produto, eu tive o direito à essa licença) Tudo muito fácil e intuitivo. Vale ressaltar aqui que o cabo que vem junto ao produto é do tipo USB-C, então, para quem não possui esse tipo de entrada no computador, terá que usá-lo com um adaptador.(Não incluso com o produto) Enfim, estou bem satisfeito com a compra e voltaria a comprá-lo novamente.

Assez cher mais de qualité.

safe backup well protected. already formatted for MacBook.

I use 2 LaCie drives one to back up my iMac and the other as my primary hard-drive with my MacBook. They work great and have an added feeling of security with the protective cover. I purchased the newest one during Amazon's Prime Day event and count be happier.
