Review: Sturdy 2 TB drive that holds tons - Just got this 2 TB LaCie drive and I’m impressed! It holds so much perfect for storing photos, videos, and all my work files as a creator. I’ve already bumped it around a bit and it’s still rock-solid. Transfers are smooth and the built-in Thunderbolt/USB-C support makes it easy whether I’m on Mac or PC. Totally trustworthy external storage for real life. It's worth the price in my opinion.
Review: Great value and very fast, especially using TB3 - Very fast, portable, convenient. My only niggle is that there are two modes of connection: Thunderbolt 1+2 and Thunderbolt 3 [USB-C] but the TB1+2 cable is hard connected and the TB3 isn't... it's not a huge deal but it does mean that if you want or need TB3 speed, you have to carry the TB3 cable separately. Aside from that, it mounts fast and from my experience works perfectly. I cannot comment on "rugged", as I don't think any drive should be mishandled and I'm certainly not going to do a life test. Do note that this is a platter drive, so no matter what "rugged" might indicate to you, if this is dropped when spooled, your data is gone forever as the platter or heads or both will be damaged. if you need truly rugged, you need a true SSD, not this. For me, I need to transfer loads of video from GoPro, Drone, and Stills Rig when traveling and this thing is blazing fast with a small footprint.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the benefits of the thunderbolt cable & when exactly do you get 10 gb/s speed? Please provide an example.**
A: You will basically get the same speed out of this drive whether using a Thunderbolt, USB-C or USB 3.0 connection.  Thunderbolt does theoretically have a higher "top speed" than other connections, however the drive itself is the limiting factor here. There is a 2.5" spinning laptop drive inside, and it only moves data so fast regardless of connection. If you had a large multi-drive desktop RAID array connected via Thunderbolt, then you could get a really fast transfer rate because the drives can provide the data faster. If you have an older Mac with Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2, you can use those connections, otherwise the USB-C and USB 3.0 will work just as well (cables included for both).

**Q: can you replace the drive with ssd**
A: Yes, you can. The new Samsung EVO's and QVO's work great in them. But when you take the hard drive out, it voids the LaCie warranty.

**Q: Does it work with c ports of a hp zbook g3**
A: If your laptop has a USB-C port, this drive will work. Comes formatted for Mac, so will just need a quick and simple Windows formatting before using.

**Q: I want it for travel to back up all my photos and videos and not just rely on my sd cards.When you insert the card to download does it erase the card?**
A: You need a laptop to transfer images to this drive.  There is no way to insert an SD card. You hook it up to a computer via usb or thunderbolt cable and then copy and/or move files using the computer as the interface. If you’re looking for something that will allow copying without a computer, you need a different type of device.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable and grippy
*by S***I on September 1, 2025*

Great for smaller children or kids with autism who may not handle with sensitive care. It may be even fun for an adult too with its grippy casing.
