Durable drive, needs one more cable
9 September 2024KA

originally posted on walmart.com

I purchased this hard drive to back up photos and videos while on vacation. I like that it's compact and sturdy, with a simple design enhanced by the orange rubber bumper. The bright color really helps make it easy to find the drive in a bag.My only complaint is that only a USB-C cable is provided. Especially while away from home, it was really inconvenient to not be able to connect the drive to older computers and devices. Include a USB-A cable, and it's 5 stars.

I've been using the LaCie 1TB Rugged Mini SSD for about a month, and I love it! The tough, light, portable design is perfect for my needs.The speed is fantastic — transferring large files is a breeze with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Plus, the durable build gives me peace of mind. Highly recommend!

I have used a Seagate backup drive for years to backup photos and pertinent files. That old Seagate requires 2 USB connections and does not have auto-backup capability. That is why I went with these. They are from Seagate (correct me if I am wrong), only require one USB connection each, are larger capacity than what I have and have auto-backup. I ordered two 2 TB because I didn't need anything larger and I wanted 2 backup drives that were good on portability. I received them and registered them through the setup. It was NOT intuitive to me, and it wasn't really explained in the process, that I needed to download the Genie software during that registration/setup process to run the backup. I couldn't seem to go back to that download during the first one's registration ... MoreI have used a Seagate backup drive for years to backup photos and pertinent files.

I started the backup and could see that the backup was occurring and could see when it finished. However, I could not locate the files that were backed up. I spent multi emails with the LaCie help support to find them. After about 4 emails and no success I finally asked them to elevate this before I wiped them clean and returned them both. I then received an email telling me to call. I happened to get a very patient and sharp young lady who worked with me. The backed up files go into a file that is named nothing that I would have drilled down....and which wasn't suggested through the email support process. She led me along and I finally found my files, renamed the file under which they were located and all was well. I told her about not downloading the Genie software but for one drive and that is when I learned that the Genie software would only recognize one drive no matter how many times I downloaded it. For the 2nd LaCie drive backup, she led me to the backup process in Windows 10 so that now I can use both LaCie drives.....and not return either. I hope this helps others who have the limited knowledge of this as I.

LaCie 4TB Rugged Mini USB 3.0 External Hard Drive with Rescue Data Recovery Services is perfect for saving all those files, pictures, videos and more that take up space on your computer!

It has a 4TB of space that will hold so much data and is password protected and it is small enough to carry with you especially when on the go. It comes with micro USB 3.1 Gen 1 to USB TypeC cable so it can even plug into your smartphone to save data as well.

Poor cable connection
29 June 2023

I have a couple of LaCie 2TB hard drives. They are fast and rugged as advertised but have one major flaw and that is a poor, loose/sloppy connection between the cable and the hard drive. A small movement will cause the hard drive to disconnect or simply not work properly as in showing folders with content to be empty. My concern is that over time that connection will get worse. Seems a shame that the makers of an otherwise good product don't put a little more care into the hardware that connects the hard drive to a computer.

Review of LaCie Rugged Mini 2TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive - USB C
2 March 2023

Good Points: Large capacity in a rugged design, but you must remember this is a HD not an SSD and so will still be sensitive to shock despite the design.The capacity size is great for the price.Improvement Points: As an HD not an SSD this has a slower speed of read and write, so it is important to think of the use to which you will put this device. I am using it as a photo bank and so speed is not so important.The purchase was forced by price, because if I could have afforded the same as SSD I would have bought an SSD.

Solid small drive from LaCie
15 March 2024

MacOS Disk Utility App formatted the LaCie 2TB Rugged for APFS without incident once I discovered that APFS was available only for GUID volume labels. About a minute of fiddling with Disk Utility Partition menu taking the defaults.Once formatted, the disk has proven fast and reliable as a photo storage medium. I expect 5+ years of solid service from it.

Super-duper fast and portable
10 September 2024

This li'l gem is quick! I went to a remote location to record voiceovers, and used this drive, direct-to-disc. It ran just peachy—no buffers, did not heat up, and it barely made a footprint in my gig bag. I've trusted LaCie rugged drives since 1997, when the clumsy lighting director on a music video shoot plowed into my laptop and the Firewire LaCie rugged drive running track sync playback. I dove to save the MacBook Pro (of course!), and the LaCie crashed to SIR's cement floor. Reconnected it, and—BADDA-BING! Like nothing ever happened. Thanks for making great products. LaCie, and thank you, B&H, for selling them at competitive prices!

[Rewarded Review] Excellent Hard Drive
4 September 2024

I needed an updated external hard drive to transfer all of my PC amd Macbook data to obe movation, and this device is hands-down the best one out there for the price. I transferred roughly 80GB from my laptop to this drive in almost two minutes using an Apple Thunderbolt cord. Plus its a SSD which is better than the other ones. Highly recommend!
