Thunderbolt USB-C

Works great. Size is great. Seems sturdy. Used for video storage.

The LaCie Rugged 5TB portable hard drive has been one of the best options out there for the price in my experience. It offers a lot of storage, feels durable, and gives extra peace of mind with the rugged design, especially if you travel or move gear around often. I like that it is simple to use, works reliably, and has a solid reputation for handling everyday backups, photos, videos, and larger files. The compact size is also convenient, making it easy to carry without feeling fragile. A very strong choice if you want high capacity, dependable performance, and better protection without spending too much.

I have used these as backup drives for many years. Never had an issue. They are fast, dependable and durable.

Good product, works well as oem should

I order one of these LaCie drives every single year as a self-employed photographer. Have been for many many years and have never had one of these drives fail. They are super reliable, travel easily, and are sized perfectly for those on the go. Highly recommend.

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.

Excelente disco externo. El LaCie Rugged de 5TB ofrece gran capacidad, buena velocidad y una construcción muy resistente a golpes y agua. Ideal para transportar archivos con seguridad y trabajar en movimiento gracias a su diseño duradero y confiable.

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!

Easy to use and very good quality 🫡👌🏻
