    Perfect for lots of storage needs!!
    We really love this external 5 TB HD and it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for.We were a bit weary at first because of the price, but it turned out to be totally worth it and will save us lots of time and money on computer storage in the long run. The storage allows us to back things up on the HD instead of the computer’s HD, which has sped up the computer’s performance and made it easier to use. We also like having our files backed up in multiple places in case an SD card was to corrupt, we would not lose any pictures! This does the trick perfectly and also comes with the chord to connect it to your device.It’s super easy to use right away and is very durable and sleek. The color is nice and the casing is very protective, so you don’t have to worry about anything happening to it or your files stored on it.We are very happy we invested in this product and will be buying again when this one is full!

    We got a 4TB LaCie Rugged Mini to backup design project files, and before handing it over to be used, I ran it through the paces of speed tests in the various disk formats both for Windows computers and Macs. I found that the cross-platform compatible format LaCie uses for their drives out of the box, ExFAT, was consistently faster on Windows and Mac OS, averaging at least as fast as the 130 MB/s speed promised by LaCie.

    The rubber cushion exterior case is great for protecting the drive on the go, but know that dropping a platter-based hard drive like this one, even a small distance, while it is powered up and spinning, will probably destroy it. Once powered down, then it's more protected from damage by drops than most other portable USB drives out there.

    As with other reviews, my only complaint is that no USB type A adapter is included for the USB-C cable, though most of our more recently purchased computers include at least one USB-C port. Due to this one downside, I'd rate this drive a 9 out of 10

    I’ve struggled with drives not working and randomly crashing, usually without even being bumped. I’m a wedding photographer so it’s vital to have something reliable. This one so far beats all other big brands and the design is sleek! Comes with usb-c connecter as well which is so nice.

    El disco duro en si perfecto. El único detalle: al momento de querer registrar el mes gratis de Adobe, no te deja y siempre marca error. Así que para mí eso es es una falla en lo que describen aquí al momento de comprarlo.
    Pero el disco funciona perfecto, pude activar la garantía del disco sin problema y funciona a la perfección. Es por eso que mantengo 5 estrellas.
