Customers say
Customers find the external hard drive to be fantastic and well-built, with 250+ read and write speeds and big storage capacity. However, the reliability receives mixed feedback – while some say it performs well, others report it failing after 50 hours of use. The noise level and value for money also get mixed reviews, with some finding it very quiet and good value, while others describe it as noisy and consider it expensive trash. The flashing light feature is particularly problematic, with customers reporting it flashes a lot.

Great for Time Machine backups
Very solid construction. Fast transfer speeds.Great hdd for Time Machine with large video files to back up.
Works great
It is really good itself. Quiet. Does not get warm. Does not vibrate etc. It comes in with all possible plugs I could think of as well which can be easily changed which is AMAZING. The software is simple to understand and so far, worked well.It has 1 semi-con and one real con.Semi-con – It is really heavy for how small it is. Not that you wont be able to lift it but surprisingly heavy.REAL con is the BLUE LIGHT on the front. It is extremely strong and cannot be turned off. You either have to cover it, paint it over or disassemble the device and somehow remove the led. Not only its constantly ON but it also rapidly flashes every now and then and when PC/Laptop is off, it will be off BUT it will still do that occasional flashing for no reason.So far it worked without any problems and the storage is big so that is fine. It mostly just comes to that damn light. It has its own software but you cannot disable the light which is sort of silly. Would be little better if it was not for the BRIGHT BLUE colour of it…
Good but…
A good robust LaCie HD designed to last years but… be careful how you connect to a Mac Sequoia or earlier OS or any Mac for that matter. I purchased my first one December last year but a couple of weeks ago it failed to boot up with the Mac. Un-plugin and re plugin either the power cable of the port cable seemed to work but then after some time it would disappear from Disk Utility. Amazon very kindly replaced and the new one arrived overnight. Surprise surprise the new one behaved the same way! Rather than send that one back I began to jiggle around cables and ports as I have extension ports galore like most of us. Finally I hit on a combination that worked. In essence connect it directly to a port on the Mac itself. It doesn’t like extension ports unlike all the other LaCie drives I have (6 in all) which seem happy to churn away on whatever port they are connected to. The power cable in the end would seem ok. Hope that helps.
Fast and works well with M1 Apple Mac Mini
I’ve been looking for a SSD based storage box to replace my SAN for some time but the cost was just too high so I bought this instead as a stop gap. 10TB is reasonable amount of storage but there are two things which have surprised me.Firstly it works really well with Apple Mac Mini (and therefore probably all Macs) – I don’t get those annoying errors saying the device wasn’t ejected properly – regardless of if I reboot the Mac or use the sleep function, the drive is available and connected when the Mac comes to life, no errors or delays.Secondly the speed ! It’s much faster than any other external hard drive I’ve had. My Mac Mini has a Thunderbolt 3/USB 4 port being an M1 Mac Mini and although this drive doesn’t support USB4 or Thunderbolt connections, it does enable it to run at full 10Gbit/s of USB 3.2 gen 2, which is the same headline speed at 10Gbit Ethernet, which is not really directly comparable, but does mean the the interface is never going to be the limiting factor, the speed limiter will be the disk and Lacie have fitted a fast disk which is giving me well over 220 MBytes/s read and write mixed file sizes. This is impressive for a spinning disk.Given the speed, the price and the build quality which is great (and I can’t hear a fan) this is very good value for money.
Storage
Quality and quick and quiet.
Smaller and faster
I will never be without a Lacie drive again. I sold my orginal pair as I upgraded my machine and it no longer had thunderbolt connectors. So I thought, lets go for something a bit cheaper like a Western Digital MyBook.The god of irony landed and now less than 12 months after buying my WD drive I’m having to take everything off it as it is dog slow with an Apple Macbook Pro. Even transferring off it is slow, it’s like it doesnt want to be sent away.The Lacie on the other hand is gobbling up data as super speeds via a USB C connection which works incredibly well with my Mac and from the other connector it looks like it will also work well on my Windows 10 laptop.I will never be so foolish as to move to another brand again.
Serviceable Doorstop or Jewellery Box
As a doorstop for a fairly light door this product from LaCie – now owned by Seagate – is quite serviceable. Remove the electronics and it would make a handy box for small items – cufflinks and the like. For these purpose it would need neither power nor USB-c cables. Attach these and the problems begin. I foolishly chose to use this for data storage. This worked quite well at first but then I stopped downloading data. After a while I had a disk not properly ejected alert. I had not ejected the disk properly or improperly. It kept doing this. I changed cables, turned off and turned on everything I could think of and it kept improperly ejecting itself. Clearly that made me worry that it was not safe with my data. I sent a note asking for help via the LaCie – now owned by Seagate – web site. No answer. I sent another note. No answer. This has been going on for some time and I have now lost the will to keep trying and make my LaCie – now owned by Seagate – work.So, in summary: if you need a doorstop or box for small items this is for you. But do not attempt to use for data storage.PS Also it’s noisy and vibrates quite a bitPPS Why does Amazon insist on at least a one star rating?
Me llego rapidisimo, en 24h y muy bien empaquetado. Muy buen producto, rapido y fiable sobretodo si los comparo con mis anteriores HD de western digital de 5 tb que iban como una tortuga.
Good
