I didn’t get a good idea of how small and light this is until I opened the package. It’s quite a bit smaller in all dimensions than a LaCie “Rugged” drive and that’s great for travel. Speed is very good even through a hub. Very impressed.

This LaCiE drive is very light and has fast transfer speeds! It is easily portable and when I say it’s light, it’s very light and as light as a pair of AirPods. The only downside for my personally with this product is loading files. I’m not sure if it’s a problem specifically from me, but it has been very slow when loading files in. Other then that, it is a very clean product that works perfectly! It is well worth the money!

Con Apple iMac 2019 i risultati del test sono questi, ottimi. Cavetto Thunderbolt veramente corto ma lo uso in scrivania attaccato al Mac. Prestazioni super al miglior rapporto qualit prezzo a Settembre 2023

Velocissimo in Thunderbolt 3, miglior rapporto qualità prezzo

No spinning hard disk (duh, you knew that), and has functioned perfectly. Power draw from a laptop is less than an HDD, but you still do need a tricky adapter for an iPhone or iPad that allows charging of the device while this SSD is connected.

Bought to import nearly 200GB 4K video into for FCPRO X edit. Comes with USB C cable. Upgraded to Anker Thunderbolt 3 cable. Judging by the speed so far I reckon it’s going to take about an hour to import the lot. Massive improvement on my existing portable hard drives.

Wasn’t even sure there was anything in the Amazon bubble wrap, but there it was.
Fantastic unit.
Use it for backing up recordings and software.
I had LaCie drives before so I was confident with my purchase.
10 gigs transferred in like 15 seconds.
Fastest driver I’ve ever owned.
Don’t look anywhere else.
Just buy this and worry not.

Questa la prima volta che provo i dispositivi di storage di Lacie, questo nello specifico un ottimo SSD.

Questi i risultati dei miei test svolti su Macbook Air M2 e Disk Speed Test di Blackmagic:

W/R in media di 872 MB/s – 798 MB/s per un file di 5GB (Run di 15 minuti)
W/R in media di 885 MB/s – 807 MB/s per un file di 4GB (Run di 10 minuti)
W/R in media di 883 MB/s – 807 MB/s per un file di 3GB (Run di 10 minuti)
W/R in media di 881 MB/s – 808 MB/s per un file di 2GB (Run di 10 minuti)
W/R in media di 887 MB/s – 808 MB/s per un file di 1GB (Run di 15 minuti)

Risultati consistenti per lettura e scrittura, nessun problema nella gestione di formati Blackmagic RAW, risultati affidabili fino a 12K DCI 24 e in sola scrittura fino a 12K DCI 60; ottimo per formati H.265, affidabile fino a 8K DCI 60; davvero bene nella gestione del ProRes 422 HQ, in cui risulta affidabile per formati fino a 8K DCI 24 e 12K DCI 24, fallisce per nel test a 8K DCI 60 (per questo formato il disco pi affidabile risultato essere il Samsung T7 Shield). Consiglio di fare dei propri test sul campo comunque prima di usarlo come dispositivo di storage per camere e dslr. Mentre, non ho notato problemi nella gestione degli altri file della mia libreria e nell’uso con Time Machine (in quest’ultimo caso le istruzioni allegate spiegano bene che il disco necessita di essere riformattato dato che arriva con filesystem exFAT che gli permette di essere usato sia su MacOS che su Windows e Linux), tuttavia, grazie al software Toolkit di LaCie possibile creare un mirror delle cartelle desiderate e il backup avverr automaticamente alla connessione del disco, ci permetter di evitare l’uso di Time Machine e dunque si potr usarlo come disco di backup sia per Mac che per Pc. Non ha mai sofferto di surriscaldamento eccessivo durante tutti i test svolti, nonostante l’intero corpo sia in alluminio.

Gli darei un voto di 9/10. Bellissimo il design. Ma il punto perso riguarda il cavo con cui arriva, troppo corto e di scarsa qualit, e il packaging dato che non gli d quel senso di prodotto premium che un SSD in alluminio di LaCie da 2 TB dovrebbe avere. Non credo sia adatto a chi lo dovrebbe usare in movimento, dato che si rischia spesso che possa sfuggire di mano visto il materiale scivoloso; tuttavia, per me che lo tengo in una borsa insieme a tutto il resto dei miei accessori e lo uso solo sulla scrivania, risulta essere perfetto, soprattutto come dispositivo per ampliare lo storage del mio Macbook. Non certificato IPxx, quindi bisogna stare attenti a polvere e liquidi.

My iMac (2017) became so slow that it was borderline unusable. It has a 1TB HDD internal drive. I bought this 500GB external SSD to ‘replace’ the internal drive so that my startup disk is now the SSD. Works like magic. Everything’s so fast now. Over the moon. If you want to do the same, you can find the instructions on Apple.com. Easy to follow.

SSD is good. Hopefully will last. Works with iPad as well.
Have been using Lacie (HDD/SSD) for quite long. time. For this particular SSD, I bought 2 old models and one new model.

Two critical points for the new model:
Why do we need an oblique/tilted side wall? Why….?? Dumb idea.
The oblique side wall makes the connection difficult for any USB-C cord.

The supplied USB-C to USB-C cord is even poorer. It’s base is wider than many other cords, making it even harder to reach the port on that oblique wall. And very difficult to connect to iPad.

I use a different cord with the new model.
The old (square black) version is much better.

I use this for my MacBook Air with Time Machine, it works very well, it is small so easy to take with me.
Highly recommended

The size and weight are perfect for complete mobile backup of files and those who travel with their laptops. Transfer is extremely fast and works flawlessly with my MacBook Air.
Best part it takes up virtually zero space in my laptop bag when travelling and I no longer have to worry about dropping my external hard drive and losing data I require when back home.
Purchasing a second for my spouse.

Was cautious buying this because of some bad reviews. Whilst it’s early days, the initial set up on M1 Mac studio was easy and the transfer was fast and painless. Bought a decent thunderbolt cable for it and currently pleased with its performance

The drive is very neat and works well. I did have an issue with the Mac OS reporting that I had not ejected the drive properly before disconnecting it, even though it was permanently connected. I contacted Seagate LaCie and got a couple of prompt responses from them with ideas to try. Those did not solve the problem but then it solved itself at the same time as an OS update. I reported that back to Seagate who thanked me for letting them know.

While they were unable to solve the problem, which was probably nothing to do with the drive anyway, they were certainly attentive, polite, and they did read what I wrote each time. Full marks to their support arrangements.

When you’ve shot a TB of data in a day and want to get home then this drive is brilliant. Transfers 100GB in about 5 minutes. Has been reliable and works with Mac encryption.

You can copy onto the drive very, very quickly. It’s great.

La entrega se realiz en menos de 24h tras el pedido. Lleg en perfecto estado.
El ssd es muy pequeo y con un plateado similar a mi iMac. Cable usb C 3.1 gen. 2 corto pero suficiente para apoyar ssd en base iMac. Tambin trae documentacin de inicio rpido y una suscripcin gratuita de 1 mes a la suite de adobe.

Viene de fbrica formateado con el sistema de archivos ExFat (compatible con Windows y Mac) y con 2 aplicaciones en su interior ( una para comenzar en Mac y otra para Windows) que sirven para registrar producto, descargarte utilidades de lacie y tener garanta de 3 aos. Como yo solamente lo usar en este iMac, lo formatear al sistema de archivos de Apple (APFS) que, adems de estar optimizado para Mac,asigna espacio de disco por peticin cuando creas varios volmenes en una nica particin. El espacio libre de la participacin se comparte y se puede asignar a cualquiera de los volmenes segn sea necesario. Adems,a cada volumen le puedes asignar una cuota lmite y una reserva de garanta.

Una vez comentado lo anterior, lo conect al puerto Thunderbolt 4 del iMac y encend el Mac. Reconoci el ssd al instante y cre un acceso directo en escritorio. Abr ssd e inici aplicacin para Mac “star_here_mac” y as registrar producto. Seguidamente inici utilidades de disco para formatearlo al sistema de archivos APFS y despus crear 3 volmenes (uno para copias de seguridad de Time Machine, otro para fotografas y un ltimo para instalar ciertas aplicaciones).

Al volumen de fotografas, pas 12.700 archivos de fotos y vdeos (de tamaos muy diferentes) que ocupaban 108,73 GB en menos de 6 minutos. Creo que es un tiempo muy bueno ya que es muy distinto que subir un nico archivo de varios Gigas . Comentar que no se calent nada. Una vez los archivos en el ssd, su acceso y reproduccin eran instantneos. En el volumen de copia de seguridad hice la copia del sistema con Time Machine en poco tiempo.

ConclusinMuy contento con el producto y con la informacin que dispones en la web de Lacie para cualquier duda y aclaracin.

Mi grata experiencia en un iMac 2021.

This is an excellent drive – I’d been looking for an SSD for the Blackmagic 6k – a camera that needs a consistently fast drive to record 6k raw footage. Had made the mistake of buying some other drives that were cheaper but not recommended by Blackmagic – a number of dropped frames later I finally got this LACIE drive. Finally able to use the camera without issue.

On the surface, it’s a great little fast drive. Well designed, looks great. Firstly, the USB C cord that comes with it is waaaaaay too short. Like many other people, I have my MacBook Pro on a laptop stand, not flat on my desk and the cord doesn’t reach. I have to buy yet another longer cord. An extra 5-10 cm would have done the job. This part is a silly design. What, is LaCie trying to save a few pennies with the midget cord? :)) Secondly, when tested, the drive has 800 MB/s write and 865 MB/s read speed on my 16″ Macbook Pro ( which is fairly new and fast) connected directly with the USB-C cord. NOT, the “up to 1,000 MB/s” speed claimed. Other than that, it’s great.

Este nuevo ssd porttil de Lacie es una opcin de almacenamiento magnifica, de un tamao muy contenido y con tan solo 45 gramos de peso es ideal para transportarlo donde quieras, ademas el fabricante especifica que es resistente a golpes, mas concretamente te garantiza resistencia a mas de 2 metros de cada. La interface es USB 3.2 Gen 2 lo que nos proporciona una velocidad de 10Gb/s, la coleccin es USB C y es compatible con usb4, usb 3.0, Thunderbolt 3 y 4, el cable proporcionado es bastante corto aunque grueso.

Los acabados son muy buenos cuerpo de aluminio y un elegante color plateado, lo que no me ha gustado mucho es el diseo, hubiera preferido una terminacin recta en los extremos en vez de inclinada. Un detalle que me ha encantado es que en mi Mac el icono del disco es una miniatura idntica y no la genrica que te dan otros discos como el Samsung T5 que tambin poseo (adjunto fotos ).

Respecto al rendimiento este disco se comporta realmente bien dobla en velocidad al Samsung T5, prcticamente nos da velocidades de disco NVMe, aunque Lacie muestra que la velocidad es de 1050MB/s de lectura y 1000MB/S de escritura en mi Mac las velocidades registradas son algo menores pero muy estables (adjunto fotografas). La unidad no se calienta ni baja de rendimiento.

Extras: Es de agradecer que este disco externo ssd nos proporciona una serie de extras que son de agradecer, la primera son 3 aos de garanta, 3 aos de recuperacin de datos, 1 mes de Adobe Creative Cloud y finalmente una aplicacin Lacie Toolkit suite para sincronizar carpetas.

Conclusiones: Sin duda recomiendo este disco porttil ssd, es la versin 2 del ssd Portable de Lacie de hecho a dia de hoy aun no aparece en su pagina web, lo que demuestra que es una versin mejorada del anterior y reciente. Velocidades muy buenas, resistencia a golpes, peso, extras, esttica, adems es compatible 100% con los iPads pro que tienen usb-c, en definitiva me ha gustado muchsimo esta unidad tan solo podra poner una pega el cable que aunque es bastante grueso y se ve de calidad es muy corto, para tenerlo cerca de tu equipo esta bien pero si necesita que este en un lugar mas alejado tendrs que comprar otro cable.

Si te ha resultado util esta resea te agradecera que lo indicaras. Un saludo .

Sin duda una elección ganadora!!!

Vanessa Izabella says:

Too expensive. It’s the best I ever owned: fastest, smallest, rugged – definitely durable – wouldn’t allow to drop it though not even for testing.. – recovery promise is also encouraging – hope to never need one. Would definitely buy again, in fact I am keep looking at the prices when will drop again, as definitely will buy one or even two more – maybe bigger than 1 TB.

Unused Thunderbolt ports on my old Mac – I wanted to get an external SSD to use them.
Old Mac so only Thunderbolt 1 (no power for device, so bought an external powered Dock.
Also bought a Thunderbolt 1 to 3 adapter and a Thunderbolt1 cable.
Now all works fine.
It should work straight into Thunderbolt 3 on newer Apple devices.

About 1 cm wider and 50 cms heavier than my 2TB GDrive mobile SSDs, which are USB 3, but HUGELY faster.
Note that the LaCie Rugged SSD will ONLY connect using a USB-C port; a USB-A port does not provide sufficient power.

I needed a new temporary storage solution, where I could edit photos and particularly videos, without a hard drive with a spinning disk holding up my workflow so I researched a number of SSDs but the one I chose in the end was the LaCiE Rugged SSD Pro.
Apparently, although it’s not the fastest on the market, it has a longer-term ability to read and write than many if not all of its direct competitors. The LaCie is also rugged enough to chuck in a bag and go and it’s also supposed to be reasonably water resistant. Who could ask for more? I would have given five stars but the price was almost unjustifiable for me. Well done LaCie.

Fastest SSD I've used
