Thank you, very informative. I never used a hard drive before, so I have a question. Can I download a software program onto this external hard drive and work from the external hard drive or do I need to copy it back to my laptop in order to use it? Hope this makes since. Waiting for your reply.
@@angeladaniel209 thank you for watching! I’m pretty sure you should be able to do that. I usually keep all of my software on my desktop and then I keep my raw files on the hard drive. Let me know if it works for you.
I clicked on the vid so fast I get to see the 360p version 😂. Idon'tt have many externals I just try to get as much internal memory as possible. Great informative vid
I bought a WD easybook a week ago. From the moment I first connected it, an error code popped up. It said drivers could not be installed. Basically it’s now a useless paper weight. I’m hoping the LaCie is a better investment
LACIE IS ONLY A BRAND, AS APPLE, HP AND SO, BECAUSE THE HARD DRIVE IS A SEAGATE HARD DRIVE INSIDE. I HAVE A RUGGED MINI AND AFTER A YEAR IS NOT WORKING MORE, TOO SAD.
These are still going strong for me, I edit videos off of them and haven't had any issues yet. The solid orange one is the mini, I love its size and portability. Thanks for watching!
I had been using a WD 2TB that never failed, so I bought the same brand in 4TB. I updated my OS and suddenly the 4TB isn't being recognized on any computer. (Now I have to take that up with WD of course!) I'm bummed, but ready to upgrade to this one. I really appreciate that you explained what you are using each one for because I assumed it would be the other way around, but it makes sense to work off the smaller one and then transfer the finished video/photos to the larger one for storing. Thank you for your review.
Thanks for watching! Did you get your WD drive to work again? I've had this same problem and just needed to remount the drive and on another occasion reinstall the driver from the manufacturer website.
@@sychedup Thank you for responding! Yes, it turned out to be the cord, so they sent me a new one! I also purchased a SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD 2TB and am editing my videos exclusively on that now. My channel is getting a teensy bit of traction and I love editing so much that I decided to not even bother with mechanical drives anymore, except to store the final videos on. Thank you again for your help. :)
Just watched this and bought the Rugged SSD. Guess they don't come with the mini black USB-C to USB-A cable anymore which is a bummer because I was hoping to move info from my old computer to the new one I just purchased. Bummer because I was hoping for the two stubby cables to help keep the clutter down in my backpack.
Hi, I was wondering what is the difference between the LaCie rugged MINI and the regular version? Is the mini slower or have any disadvantages? Thank yous so much!!!
Hi Kelley, The smaller drive (the rugged SSD) is a solid-state drive and has significantly faster upload and download speeds which is why it is more expensive even though it has less storage space. I use mine mostly for video editing so the faster drive def comes in handy. Are you looking to purchase a drive? And what's the main thing you'll use it for? If it's mostly for storage you prob don't need as much upload/download speed.
@@sychedup Sorry, I was not talking about the SSD drive. I was asking about HDD drive. LaCie has released the rugged mini HDD drive (HDD) and also a normal version drive which is also HDD (its physical appearance is bigger than the mini). I was wondering what is the point of buying the HDD drive that is physically bigger than the physically smaller HDD drive? Here is a link to the "regular" drive that I was talking about. www.apple.com/shop/product/HNY12ZM/A/lacie-5tb-rugged-usb-c-usb-30-portable-external-hard-drive?fnode=bba6e13802193059530174467dd82b5f47e0971e6693145aaa7ca923aa697d16932b3341cbf94d1ed2e46fe338ce0be2f846e46de1e8c234226fb103832ac9480e06df0a5068ebb0c54688f4d02167a9142963dc1e2ee086b0faaa4931e11351 It is very confusing to me since if the function is the same, then what is the point of having a physically bigger drive? Who doesn't like compact/mini drives? It would for sure save space on the desktop! Is it because that the "regular" version has thunderbolt 3 connect while the mini doesn't?
I recently bought a "lacie rugged mini 4tb" and I'm afraid it has some problems since as soon as it is inserted to transfer the data it starts to make a slight vibration ... I hope this is normal ... thanks for your attention, I hope someone can help me
Oh no! Sorry to hear that and I don't believe it should be doing that. Have you reached out to Lacie? Maybe they can help, I believe the drives come with a warranty.
LaCie is owned by Seagate. Seagate's LaCie drives are considerably less reliable than competing products from Kingston, ADATA and Western Digital on annual failure rate basis. Moreover, their 36-month survival rate is also dramatically lower than that of other. which means once they survive one year they are most likely to live up-to 3 years. I have 13 SSDs. 5 x M2 & 8 x USB c I wont trust Seagate they failed me more than 4 times, 3 times SSDs + 1 HDD, I like to carry em around, but they fail even if i am very careful. but I would trust these SDDs. Intel Optane 905P - best U.2 SSD. Adata SSD SU800 - best price/quality SSD. Samsung 970 Pro - best NVMe SSD. Toshiba RD400 - best PCIe SSD. Adata SX8200 SSD - best M.2 SSD. Samsung 860 Pro - best SATA 3 SSD. (speed 2,000MB/s) better than LaCie. Intel 750 Series - best U.2 SSD. Samsung 860 Evo - best budget SSD. HP S700 Pro - best endurance SSD. as a software eng. I dislike Seagate's quality. they will ruin your work, they tend to fail more often. google it.
You just saved me a ton of money. :) I bought a Seagate 2tb external harddrive. Its the only harddrive that has ever failed on me. Never again will I purchase Seagate. Btw man, if you dont mind me asking, I'm looking for a 5tb harddrive, what do you recommend?
@@iwistudio7337 WD BLACK 5TB from Amazon is the one I purchased for £115 GBP. It actually has 4.54TB data space on it. (I don't know why they sell it as 5tb then- its a little misleading) It is also USB 3.0. Its fast and so far quite reliable. WD is the brand that I recommend :)
Video was helpful, especially compared to others I've watched, plus you have a kind demeanor :) It was nice you helping people out as well. I do agree the music should be turned down a bit too lol but Im getting this for my videos and subbing 😁 Thanks a bunch
Thanks for watching Jon! And for the feedback too! I’m def going to have to think about how I use music in the future videos 🤔. That’s always been one of those things I’m torn on.
So I'm checking out the 5tb HDD model , just to everyone out there if you can share your opinions, I intend to use this for holding my huge PC games and I am wondering about load times, and performance. Anybody currently using it for gaming can share their experiences? It would be appreciated
Hi Lauren, hows your Lacie Rugged Mini 5TB at this moment? I just bought mine exactly the same and waiting to deliver. Hoping no regret at the end of the day 😅. Inspired by you 🤗 subs here!
Thanks so much! Just subbed to you as well, you have some really great cinematography in your videos! My Lacie hard drive is still going strong 👍🏻 best of luck with yours as well. Let me know your thoughts on it!
Great Review! Thinking to get the 4TB version to just backup my PC/work files since it's on sale for Prime Day. I have had the 1TB WD passport for acouple years now (just for work files) and honestly, I dislike it. It's very picky with which usb ports it wants to work/ connect with. I have returned it and got a new one thinking that maybe it was faulty but it also did the same. So I just decided to keep it and use it only on the one port that works. Honestly, it gets annoying, so I'm hoping this this LaCie will work out for me as a backup drive.
@@torsten9983 Gotcha, I've actually used NAS storage before at work but never owned a system of my own. I'm going to try and learn a bit more about it.

Best of luck w the lacie! Do you like it so far? I've always had a distrust for the WD drives. Sorry to hear yours had issues...that's the worst!
i wonder if i can use this SDD while working? Like editing on Photoshop or Premiere. my macbook is just 256gb so i need additional storage
You should be able to, I almost always edit my videos off of a drive to save space. Thanks for watching 😀

WD tends to have that issue all the time. This drive is definitely way better at taking abuse and wear and tear even daily and it still keeps going...

SSD or HDD?
