LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 4TB, External SSD, USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, PC Mac & iPad, Data Rescue Services (STHZ4000800)

A great little hard drive, small with very quick read and write speeds, I'm getting around 940mbs on read and write, a little expensive but it does work, I suppose you do get what you pay for sometimes, very pleased

Too expensive. It's the best I ever owned: fastest, smallest, rugged - definitely durable - wouldn't allow to drop it though not even for testing.. - recovery promise is also encouraging - hope to never need one. Would definitely buy again, in fact I am keep looking at the prices when will drop again, as definitely will buy one or even two more - maybe bigger than 1 TB.

Great quality product at a great price. Fast secure delivery. I would say there is a lack of instruction on set up but my Mac seemed to know what to do rather than me!

Not suiable for formatting drive using APFS, as needed for the latest macOS SIERRA 10.12.6 and younger versions. Returned via amazon, no problems, as was not fit for purpose. Seagate customer services made a brave unsuccessful attemp to help me, over a few hours. Also, the cable provided was far too short, so tended to unplug itself, as well.

I needed a new temporary storage solution, where I could edit photos and particularly videos, without a hard drive with a spinning disk holding up my workflow so I researched a number of SSDs but the one I chose in the end was the LaCiE Rugged SSD Pro. Apparently, although it's not the fastest on the market, it has a longer-term ability to read and write than many if not all of its direct competitors. The LaCie is also rugged enough to chuck in a bag and go and it's also supposed to be reasonably water resistant. Who could ask for more? I would have given five stars but the price was almost unjustifiable for me. Well done LaCie.

Needed ssd's that could handle a lot of 4K video footage and then playback effortlessly when editing ... this piece of equipment does exactly that. It's fast, very fast. I have 4 x 4tb ... all totally reliable.

Unused Thunderbolt ports on my old Mac - I wanted to get an external SSD to use them. Old Mac so only Thunderbolt 1 (no power for device, so bought an external powered Dock. Also bought a Thunderbolt 1 to 3 adapter and a Thunderbolt1 cable. Now all works fine. It should work straight into Thunderbolt 3 on newer Apple devices.

When you’ve shot a TB of data in a day and want to get home then this drive is brilliant. Transfers 100GB in about 5 minutes. Has been reliable and works with Mac encryption.
