LaCieMobile Drive, 1TB , External Hard Drive, Moon Silver, USB-C, PC Mac iPad & iPhone, Data Rescue Service (STHG1000400)

Looks like something from the flight of the navigator…Bonus!

After a lot of research I went for this 4Tb portable drive and so far have been very pleased. I am using it on a Mac and the supplied software on the disc reformatted it without me having to search for disk utilities and decide on options there. I've transferred over a terabyte of data to it in one go already and it took that in its stride without getting hot and bothered. It works well either plugged directly into the usb port on my mac or into a usb port on the back of my My Book duo HD, which i was impressed by. In mirroring files between these two drives i am getting transfer rates of around 64 Mb/sec on average - this is on usb2 though, so i suspect it will be quicker on USB3 and usb-c. Indeed, it's great that the core connector on this drive is a fast usb-c, so when i upgrade to a newer mac then its ready for the faster connection. Also its great that the drive comes with both Usb-c/Usb-c and Usb-c/US2-3 cables, so you can use it with anything.The drive is near silent, goes to sleep and wakes up promptly, looks robust (indeed it really is pretty robust the delivery guy managed to drop the package containing it from a 3m height trying to balance it on my gatepost while 'social distancing' - but it survived and lives to tell the tale- phew!)So I can recommend, very pleased indeed.

The external hard drive is well build, eye catching and working as described. The read/write speeds are bit better or faster as it's provided with a usb-c port rather then the older models without usb-c.It works well with a older macbook pro as well as with the newer one. Didn't had any issues by transferring my old macbook data into my new one, all worked well.The usb-c cable is very sturdy, not very flexible, that's the only downside in my opinion. Also as the cable is very short, super thick and all from black plastic, it destroys a bit the eye catching optics of the hard drive itself.The dark grey colour isn't identical to the apple space grey, it's kind of close.I would definitely recommend this hard drive.

I've always bough Lacie back up discs, they get smaller each year. This is very compact and works well with my iMac. Remains to be seen how long it will last. Gives an odd 'squeak' when you close down the computer. Pleased with it generally.

As a long time Amazon customer and a sceptical review reader I write this to simply report my experience. I pondered this purchase long and hard, and found the reviews as confused as any I had seen before, so here is my perspective: The drive is slim and stylish, quiet as a mouse, has simple start up requirements (Mac) worked perfectly from the box and is currently purring away as a time machine back up, modestly warm to the touch and faster than anything I have previously used as a HDD. (using the perfectly serviceable USB-C to C cable) The links on the onboard software are to Seagate but work fine. I considered the 4tb, settled on the 2tb and would buy again in an instant. Presumably there are situations where the product is faulty or setup complicated by a third party factor, but from my experience I can recommend 100% plus of course, amazon and DPD's unbelievable next day service.

Well made product

This is my backup drive that sits on my desk. Setting it up was really easy, and after I’d left it overnight to copy files from my previous drive, then it ran very smoothly. My previous mains powered one with a regular USB used to whirr noticeably. This one is so small and quiet, I never notice it. Small, compact design, sits underneath a stand I have for my laptop.

I always tristed the Lacie brand so I did not think twice about ordering this mobile drive in 2020. The problem with this model however is its USB 3.0 connection. After about a year of usage it started to eject itself from my Mac Pro. I kept reformatting the drive in hopes that it would find its stability but it just kept on malfunctioning. Yesterday it just gave up the ghost entirely and both my desktop and laptop can’t mount it any longer. Today I checked and the warranty expired about a year ago. Two year warranty? Bahh I expected so much more from a brand like Lacie. Please keep your distance from this model and spend your money somewhere else.

Excelente calidad, no produce ningún ruido.

Trabaja genial

Produto de reconhecida qualidade, com bom tamanho, bom desempenho e de fácil utilização ("plug&play").

acheté pour pouvoir stocker mes données.toutefois lorsque j'ai reçu le disque il était accompagné d'un câble qui ne s'adaptait pas à mon PC. J'ai dû alors en accheter un (18.40 €)
