ONLY HAD IT ONE DAY AND….
This may be premature but this is the nicest hard drive that I have ever owned. I was going to purchase a less expensive drive that would give me more storage (like the 12 tb) but I am glad that I didn’t. First of all, I read some of the reviews that spoke negatively on the cord that comes with it. I was fortunate enough to have a slot on my laptop for it. I LOVE the cord. Not only does it free up an extra usb port but most importantly it may be one of reasons I was able to transfer 260gbs in an hour. I’m not always up on the latest so to me, that’s lightning. Did I forget to mention that while it was transferring those 260gb, I didn’t hear a sound. With those qualities you would think that this drive needs to be plugged into a wall…..Nope. Lastly, I actually like the orange casing. This hard drive is handling heavy workloads with ease. The orange vest seems appropriate. 5 stars all the way. Stop searching. Buy this drive or one of his siblings.Peace and Blessings everyone.

Update: Works OK after mysterious initial failure
REVISED 01/01/25: I purchased this to back up a half-full 6TB Seagate Backup Plus drive that’s acting flaky, attached to my MacMini.UPDATE: The drive came formatted EX-FAT (Mac and Windows compatible) with a USB-C to USB3-Micro B “Super Speed” (two lobes, for the drive) cable. With no spare USB-C ports on my MacMini, I used a Samsung USB3-A to USB3-Micro B cable from an older Seagate drive into a Sabrent USB3-A hub on the MacMini. It worked fine at first, then failed as described below. Retrying with the LaCie cable into a USB-C to USB3-A adapter into the hub worked. Super sensitivity in the Mac system? I have no other explanation as the drive continues to work on Windows PCs with the old Samsung cable.INITIAL REPORT: It mounted fine out of the box, and macOS Disk Utility recognized it as a 5TB volume “LaCie.” The first few copy batches of multi-GB files and folders worked OK, but then copying stopped, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 reported “Copy operation stopped, volume disappeared.” (WTF??). macOS Disk Utility no longer sees the device.It mounted as a USB volume on Windows 11, and I could see the copied files. Windows reported disk problems so I ran the Scan & Repair utility (Properties->Tools), which took a while but reported a successful repair. Trying again on macOS, and the same result: The drive starts up (vibrates) as expected but doesn’t mount and is still invisible to the Disk Utility app.

PRODUTO:Eu comprei o “LaCie Rugged (Robusto) SSD Externo” de 2TB (STHR2000800).O produto é uma fofura, super pequeno e do tamanho da palma da mão (e não é o “Mini Robusto”). Pena que a porta de saída USB-C (lugar onde conecta o cabo que vem junto) do SSD externo não tenha uma tampa de proteção. O que é estranho, pois a LaCie afirma que esse SSD tem o IP67 de segurança, mas com a saída USB-C sem nenhuma vedação, recebe poeira e, se for o caso, água também. Então, não entendo esse selo da LaCie, se é seguro realmente. Bom, eu que não vou correr o risco de testar. Mas a LaCie pecou muito nisso porque recebe sim poeira. O cabo é bom e espesso, o que evita quebra ou rompimento fácil, demonstrando nenhuma fragilidade.O produto em si parece ser bom e não parece apresentar defeitos, mas só com o uso que eu poderei saber e ter certeza, pois eu ainda não efetuei a instalação para usá-lo. Mas ele abriu normalmente no meu computador (Windows 10) para fazer a instalação.AMAZON:A entrega foi super rápida, bem antes do prazo.EMPRESA VENDEDORA (RHA TECH):A empresa que me vendeu o “Rugged SSD Externo” de 2TB da LaCie é séria e comprometida em atender o cliente de forma rápida, ágil e eficaz. O atendimento foi excelente, inclusive o vendedor foi muito rápido e eficiente em me auxiliar. A empresa cumpre com o que promete e atende a todas as especificações do produto anunciado. Sem reclamações. Eu compraria novamente com eles porque demonstraram total confiança e bastante respeito e honestidade com o cliente. Estou muito feliz e satisfeita com a compra!! Muito obrigada a todos!!!

Compañero perfecto para las Mac, portátil, pequeño, rápido y robusto. Se puede llevar a todos lados y no te preocupas si se cae por error, la goma lo protege súper bien. Les recomiendo sustituir el cable que trae por uno más flexible.

I got this in desperation, after my iMac decided it did not like WD for backing up. It still did not work with this LaCie. Frustrated, because this was a new drive and expensive, I narrowed down the issue to my RAM upgrade.As soon as I removed the faulty memory and replaced it with the original Mac memory, bam it did my backup in 20 minutes.It was an expensive purchase $160 for only 2TB, but this will be my trusty reliable backup drive for my iMac to come.I don’t want to go through what I did again. Starting from scratch 3x. Without a backup because the Mac corrupted my other two WD drives with the backups.If you are on the fence, trust me when I say that in the end, it’s not worth losing data and time to start over.The build is amazing. It’s solid, small and has a led indicator light. Comes with two cables and Adobe Creative suite free trial. It’s supposed to be rain proof, drop proof and can handle 1 ton runover by a truck.SHIPPING:Arrived sooner than expected with Prime in a bubble envelope no signature. No padded packaging by Amazon. Lucky I was home and saw it stuffed in my mailbox. If someone stole it, it would have been a nightmare. If it was not the Rugged LaCie, I would have returned it and asked for padded secure shipping.CON: the USB plug into the drive wobbles and does not fully insert. This is a problem if you travel or use this drive on the go. At home you can carefully leave it undisturbed, but why make something so solid to make a delicate USB connection? And this is the latest new drive from LaCie. They might have done this to make room for silicone, but it is better to have a secure connection.I tried removing the silicone protection and inserting the USB that way but it still does not fully click in and insert. There is a gap.Just be very careful about this. The quality otherwise feels amazing with it’s thick aluminium casing. I still recommend it for MAC.
