Compact, reliable, easy to use

This one is my ninth LaCie and I love it. Compact, reliable and easy to use. Excellent!

Smoothe and easy?

From the moment I opened the box until it was hooked up and formatting (which was super easy with the included software), was just a few minutes. As soon as it was done formatting, it was ready to go, and has worked beautifully. A+++!

Lacie

Works great. Adorama was great. Left off a star because Lacie (Seagate) customer service is terrible. Had an issue with a previous Lacie hard drive and was impossible to get through to them.

After researching I chose LaCie to protect 9 terabytes of flac, wave and DSD lossless audio files.

I transferred 9 terabytes of lossless audio files from several portable drives. I highly value my lossless flac and wave music files collection and I decided this would be my first in a series of drives I'll be using to backup my digit files collections. I decided separate drives for each collection and I'll eventually back up everything again with whatever improved technology is available. I hope to share with family and friends once everything is complete.

Peace of mind and pretty quiet

Fast enough for most footage and all photography needs and also nowhere near as noisy as their raid solution. A premium, nice enclosure at a good price. Buying something like this gives you peace of mind that building a piecemeal hdd + enclosure setup doesn?t: those cheap enclosures are always garbage. Good product.

The LaCie d2 Professional hard drive is doing its job as expected. Also, I have used Adorama as a supplier for my electronics for a number of years and have found their dependability to be excellent.

Excellent Drive for a Mac

This is a great HD for a Time Machine backup or for a Photo Library. It works perfectly. I recommend re-formatting the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Spotty and speedy

This drive is intermittent in its connection to my MacBook Pro. I’ve tried several remedies and it still disappears routinely from my active drives. I think it’s probably speedy and good otherwise, but it’s been frustrating so far.

Great Drive; BEWARE no fan

Fast external drive. Am able to edit Lightroom images stored on drive with negligible lag. Very disappointed (hence 4 stars) that drive is not fan cooled, as advertised. Was one of the primary reasons I purchased this item.

Well built

Very easy to set up and run. So far it was a great purchase. My only complaint and this is only because I happen to sleep in the same room as my computer, is the brightness of the blue light on the side of the unit. It's very bright in a dark room. I have had to put a cloth over it to keep it from bothering me. Otherwise, great!!

LaCie keeps bringing the best...

Great drive from a long-standing excellent manufacturer. Real plug and play and great backward compatibility. Needed a larger backup as time machine outgrew my 6TB drive. Already use lacie for my main and backup photos...with over 70TB it’s time to think raid drive storage units.

By Michael H.

My wife and are fine art photographers. We use external drives to store massive numbers of raw and tif files. I have been using a mirrored LaCie dual drive 10tb unit for over two years as a production drive and have been quite happy with its performance. So when my wife ran out of space on her desktop computer, we decided to purchase another LaCie. Because she was not interested in Raid, we decided on this 10tb single drive unit. We've had it in heavy daily use for about three weeks. So far,...
