LaCie 2big RAID, 8TB, External Hard Drive Desktop, USB-C, 7.200 RPM, Enterprise Class Drives, for Mac and PC Desktop, 5 year Rescue Services (STHJ8000800)

Needed a reliable trustworthy 40GB external HD, this is exactly that. I use it for storage only but very happy with it.

Don't buy this. Really, don't buy this. It's unreliable and expensive.

Delivery was fast (even though we were in the middle of lockdown due to Covid 19). The product is packaged professionally. This device works as described. It is a little noisy, however not to levels that should annoy anyone. During setup I encountered a very small complication (not a product fault). I called the number on the invoice and was guided through to setup completion. One thing I would like to see in a future software update in the ability to see BOTH drives and their content (when using the device in RAID1). Currently I have to hope that my content is in fact being stored on both devices, and have not been able to find a way to confirm this.

if you buying raid, say you are buying 16GB its fine if you are using as a single drive if you are going to do the raid for back up you need double the capacity as 16gb will become 8 gb in raid. so be care full estimating your storage need. but good quality hardware.

This disk is so NOISY. It makes a noise like an old-fashioned floppy drive. It does not inspire confidence in the build quality or longevity. It's also really annoying.

A very robust enterprise level raid drive; Seagate enterprise hard drives inside which come with a five year guarantee and LaCie is now owned by Seagate this drive comes with UPS pickup and delivery if there’s any fault you can’t go wrong with this drive oh and free data recovery included to!

Bought this - seemed ok but then after about a week of use it starting turning itself off ramdonly - had to return it.

Great product
