LOVE THIS BUT>>>>>>> If you need a lot of space get a bigger size!!!  Other than that it works perfect!

LOVE IT!

I brought 2 HDDs on holiday discounts.  Overall, I like these drives.  These drives cost about 35% more than the typical WD or Seagate external portable drives having the same storage capacity.  I don't notice any differences in performance or technology enhancement between the LaCie as compared to WD or Seagate.  In summary, the LaCie mobile drives are:
1) It feels solid.  It has an Aluminum body and weights slightly more than a typical plastic body HDDs. 
It does has an aesthetic look of silvery and slim body, diamond corner cut. 
2) The drive spins very silent and not noticeable vibration.
3) Transfer speed - I read other reviews that these drives are slower than others.  In my observation, they are about the same speed as other drives using USB 3.0 or USB 3.1.
3) Initiating time - this is the time when you plug the drive into the laptop and be recognized by the operating system - these drives are slower than other drives by about 2 seconds.  It is not bothersome for me.
4) The drive lays flat on the bottom with no rubber feet.  To prevent it from sliding, I added a silicone case around the drive (see picture).  The silicone case also prevents helps to reduce shock or bumps.

Good Looking Drive

Super little - but powerful - gadget. Seems solidly made, and sure is handy for backing up my many devices. I?m very pleased.

Happy as a clam.

great product just a bit slow to be recognized by computer

good medium small drive

Have had this for several weeks and so far it?s great. Does exactly what it is supposed to do, and is pretty quiet. Highly recommend!

Good product!

No hesitation on the part of the equipment to do its job.  Reformatting to Apple format toke no time at all.  Unit speed and size (digitally & physically) are just right and with no moving parts.  When my raid unit on my other machine starts down, I?ll replace it with these.

LaCie 2TB USB 3.0 Type-C Mobile Drive is GREAT

It’s a very sturdy and great storage device. LaCie knows what they were doing with this!!

Solid

Awesome drive.

Great Storage Drive

Right amount of storage capacity in a compact portable package

Powerful drive in sleek package

Lacie is still the best SSD options on the market, and this model does not disappoint. However, Adorama’s photo is stretched out horizontally to appear thinner than the actual unit. Deceiving!

Thicker than expected, but still useful

Awesome

I always aim at purchasing trustworthy hard drives. And it fulfilled my expectations.

Trustworthy

In all the smoke and mirrors - I can't find the info crucial to the drives success long term - is this an SSD drive or not?

WHAT kind of drive are you trying to sell people?

Great deal for the data landscape you get.  Easy partition setup when I plug it in.

Porsche Design 2T External HD

It was "Plug and Play", so to speak. I ordered a unit for my Macbook Pro. It recognized the unit the moment it was connected and I was able to begin loading files for storage. I wish they were all that easy with a Mac.

Simple to Use!

Seems to work well. It’s thin, good for traveling.

Thin hard drive

totally recommended. It's a bit heavy, but I guess it's because the case is in metal.
It is silent and fast, you want a lot of space in a good product, this is yours

Excellent!!!

Small, compact external hard drive.  Highly recommended.

Lacie

I started using this sized external HD for my backups over two years ago. Started with three then two years later bought four more recently. I know I should mix up brands to safe guard against any specific model defect but these have proven very convenient compared to the much larger bulkier drives that I decided to stay with what works for me.

Efficient and compact.

There's not really much to say about it.  It's a great drive and very fast and quiet.
