Great for video editing

Fast, sturdy and dependable. I use these drives everyday and travel with them as well. I have four of these. I’d like to try the 8tb version in the future. The thunderbolt connection is super secure too. I know with some other drives it feels not as snug, but these lacie connections are perfect. Used for video editing.

Fast for sure

I'm a freelance photographer and mainly shoot high school sports for the local paper. I go through a lot of external hard drives. I need one to be fast in transferring pictures because of the deadlines that I have to deal with and this hard drive fits the bill without paying big bucks for a solid state drive.

Sculptor needs video...

Bought the LaCie Raid to handle all the memory needed to process video on building a wave of 60 canoes- working great so far!

LaCie 4TB Rigged Raider as portable

While the LaCie 4TB is built rigged for me it is heavier than I want to travel with. I really do not need 4TB traveling, my error. Smaller solid state hard drives even 450 GB help when weight is a factor as some small plane expeditions usually are.

LaCie ROCKS!

Great purchase! Videos were not showing smoothly on older external hard drives but with the LaCie they play flawlessly!!

Device itself is fine,

Instructions are not clear on how to set up, steps are not outlined in the right order

Good drive for travel

I have this drive and a 2T drive and both are great! The 2 T is lighter for travel but both are strong and hearty. I have no hesitation in recommending this product.

Does the job consistently

We have a customer who passes this thing around their office more than a peace pipe. Lasted years, no complaints. Just bought a 2nd one, will buy more.
