Best external drive on the market
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.

Rugged & Reliable
The LaCie Rugged Mini 2TB external hard drive is an excellent choice for those seeking durability, portability, and ample storage. While it may not be the fastest option, its reliability, security features, and user-friendly interface make it a solid investment for backing up important files.

Great product
Beautiful product. Similar to Apple design in terms of minimalist but intentional. Was able to use the usb c lead included to plug straight into my iPhone 15 Pro and add photos and video.

Easy to set up.and use
This is easy to use and easy to set up and you can also register it and they insure the product I.e. lacie ..It's a rugged drive which will still.work if you drop.it or run over it in your vexhile...It's recommended for your apple laptop or iPad or Mac..The drive is quite fast but could do with being like a 9200tpm meaning a little fasterThe price of.this.is very high however what you have to remember is this is not a standard hard drive this is a branded one a lacie and it's very fast ideal for your apple equipment and overall I do recommend

Excellent Quality
These drives are excellent quality and work really well. I use mine as the Time Machine backup drive on my MacBook Pro laptop. It has never failed me. I also have another one exact same model bought 7 years ago from another source which I use for file storage and is still going strong today.

Compact and sturdy, came with USB-C cable
Recently bought as a second backup drive for use with my 2022 MacBook Air, currently running OS Monterey 12.6. Bought in the sale for £72.99.The orange silicone (or whatever it is) sleeve makes the drive easy to spot and protects from bumps. The metal chassis seems solid enough. Mine came with a black USB-C cable.I used Disk Utility to erase the drive and chose format Mac OS Extended (Journalled) because an encrypted option wasn't available for some reason.The drive was recognised in Time Machine and I chose to encrypt and protect with a password as I do with all external hard drives, just in case it should go astray.First backup took about an hour for 300GB without a hitch. From experience, subsequent backups should take much less.Now I have two external hard drives recognised in Time Machine and alternate backups so I'm covered in case one fails. I've always preferred to spend money on getting two drives to protect against data loss.So far, so good with this LaCie drive but will update re. durability.UPDATE Feb 2025 - still performing as expected faster than a previous Maxtor and no problems since buying in 2022. Now on MacOS Sequoia.

Faulty, corrupted
Faulty. Ordering this shoddy product has caused me so much avoidable stress. First it crashed every time my screen locked. I changed the connector cable and it seemed to be fixed momentarily, before completely failing. Now it won't unlock and I don't know how to get at my files. And all this inconvenience at quite a price. It never once worked well, so was obviously a faulty product.
