LaCie Rugged Mini externe SSD 4TB, PC Mac iPad & iPhone, 40 Gb/s, 2.000 MB/s, Rescue Services (STMF4000400)

High quality external hard drive, appears robust. Excellent value.

I have used LaCie in the past and always found them reliable and resilient. As someone who travels with my computer this product leaves me no worry it will be damaged. Transfer speeds are great, storage capacity is more than enough with 2TB and compatible with mac and pc. Excellent functionality.

Modern design, good looking, great storage, good speed

This drive is good. Easy to set-up. Had it for a while now and works perfectly.

This was a good buy and works very well with my Mac. Fast and fuss-free. Huge storage.

The 5TB model hit and exceed the speeds that is advertise 130mb/s. BlackMagic Speed Test at 1GB file size it hit on average 252.4 mb/s write and 142.2 mb/s read. However, with 5GB file speed test on average 121.3 mb/s write and read 139.6 but, it is common for the 5GB test to have lower speed due to larger file. I also carried out Amorphous Disk Mark 4.0.1 Speed test which is similar to BlackMagic. The results of the test is similar to BlackMagic which exceed the advertise speeds 150mb/s read and 132 mb/s write.All the tests were carried out with MacBook Air m2 via the includedThe hard drive is rugged with good level of protection and the speeds are great for spinning disk. Don’t forgot the hard drive in-side is just seagate 2.5 HDD with nicer case around it. The included USB C to Micro USB 3.2 Gen 1 which is limited to 5gbps which is way faster then what the hard drive can do. Overall I would recommended if you don’t mind paying extra for the rugged hard drive.

Stores a lot of data, it’s build very strong. Very portable, plug and play. This is why I chose this external drive plus its cost which in my opinion was reasonable.

My LaCie failed just under 2 years of use. I've never dropped it or taken it out of the house. It's just used as a regular way of backing up my work at home.One day I turned it on and it was making a beeping noise and not responding, I called a data recovery service to ask their advice and sent my hard drive in so they could retrieve my files. This was their diagnostic;''The drive is suffering from a fault known as 'Stiction', this occurs when the read/write heads become stuck to the surface of the internal magnetic disk(s). This prevents rotation of the disks and access to the stored data. The drive was examined in the cleanroom and the stiction was released''.A whole years worth of my data was damaged so I only have half of my work back. The recovery service told me this is a common problem that they see regularly with this seagate hard drive (LaCie just slap their logo on it), some are just faulty.It cost me A LOT of money to do this! Please do your research wisely before purchasing.
