He forgets to mention that this Lacie has a cache of 64MB where other external HDD from WD and Seagate has only 8 to 32GB cache (at the same price). I bought the Lacie Porche 4TB and this one has a cache of 128MB. This HDD goes fast if you connect it to the right usb input
I have always liked the styling of Porsche design drives by Lacie, so much so I purchased one of their 3.5 inch models. That was before Seagate purchased Lacie and I had no idea what manufactures drive was in my external drive. If I had known it was a Seagate drive I probably would not have purchased it. I'm not a fan of Seagate drives in general, they are less reliable. I since have replaced the Seagate hard drive in my Porsche designed Lacie drive with a Hitachi hard drive, now I have style & reliability. Really I can't wait for 2+gig ssd's to become affordable. On a side note, Lacie's customer service is top notch.
Very pretty drive! I've always wondered how good LaCie's products were. Though at this point if I were going to pay a premium for appearance/etc. of an external drive, I'd want a big SSD in it, not just a 2.5" drive slapped in an enclosure.
Hello, I have a samsung galaxy s9+, I want to buy this product but i am not sure if it will work in android 8 operating system. I can format it on a computer but will it work as a secondary drive for my android 8 device after formatting on a mac or windows pc ? Btw s9+ has USB type-c, so will they be able to exchange files on cable ? Any help is appreciated, thank you.
100% agree. they claim their tool "for pro customers" but pro doesn't want technology you have trouble everyday with. plus, it's very expensive and features are most of the time equivalent to entry-level products. since few years, they have a new policy apparently based on apparency and psychological aspect. if you want real protection, you have qnap, you have hubic, and many much more reliables services than carbonite and wuala.
Oh wow, LACIE is still around. I still have Firewire and SCSI cd burners from them lol

Ooh, good to know. Working on a "Make my own external SSD" kit since I'm unhappy with current releases, haha.
Browsing your channel, I subbed after seeing that you do disclaimers. Looking forward to seeing more.
Is this a HDD or SSHD?
lol it says hard drive in the title.
Anyone Know how to open one of these as I want to change the internal drive to an Samsung 850 Pro SSD. Thanks for any advice.
Thinking about the same... As I just bought it, came with a defect HDD. Thought it was a SSD anyway. Box is very VERY unclear. No HDD reaches 5gb/s...
Does it work normally with windows 10 too?
they anounce the disk as 5gb/s is a lie right?
Wd passport 2tb is cheaper? And comes in specila ed gold 👌

good video, question can this work with an xbox one, please answer thanks.
LaCIE, a brand that I had nothing but troubles with. I avoid this brand as the plague personally.

I think 5Gbp/s was Usb 3.0, no?
I really like the drive design though. Looks much more durable than my WD Portable.
+Lon Seidman The heck?! Oh man, that's even worse! Haha.
Thank you Lon! You are awesome ;)
Will it work on the Xbox one?
Is this password protected?
Would prefer it without the branding on the topside.
You didn't test on the usb c port. It's a bit stupid that you just test it as a USB 3.0 device!
And this Lacie has a much greater cache (64MB) . WD and Seagate has 8 to 32GB cache. I have the LAcie Porche 4TB with 128MB cache. It's real fast!
hello Lon
Couldn't they make the edges less sharp? I'm afraid it will rip my bag apart. Great drive otherwise.
