LaCie Mobile Drive, 5TB, External Hard Drive, Space Grey, USB-C, PC Mac iPad & iPhone, Data Rescue Service (STHG5000402)

Excellent Quality & Value

The external hard drive is well build, eye catching and working as described. The read/write speeds are bit better or faster as it's provided with a usb-c port rather then the older models without usb-c. It works well with a older macbook pro as well as with the newer one. Didn't had any issues by transferring my old macbook data into my new one, all worked well. The usb-c cable is very sturdy, not very flexible, that's the only downside in my opinion. Also as the cable is very short, super thick and all from black plastic, it destroys a bit the eye catching optics of the hard drive itself. The dark grey colour isn't identical to the apple space grey, it's kind of close. I would definitely recommend this hard drive.

After a lot of research I went for this 4Tb portable drive and so far have been very pleased. I am using it on a Mac and the supplied software on the disc reformatted it without me having to search for disk utilities and decide on options there. I've transferred over a terabyte of data to it in one go already and it took that in its stride without getting hot and bothered. It works well either plugged directly into the usb port on my mac or into a usb port on the back of my My Book duo HD, which i was impressed by. In mirroring files between these two drives i am getting transfer rates of around 64 Mb/sec on average - this is on usb2 though, so i suspect it will be quicker on USB3 and usb-c. Indeed, it's great that the core connector on this drive is a fast usb-c, so when i upgrade to a newer mac then its ready for the faster connection. Also its great that the drive comes with both Usb-c/Usb-c and Usb-c/US2-3 cables, so you can use it with anything. The drive is near silent, goes to sleep and wakes up promptly, looks robust (indeed it really is pretty robust the delivery guy managed to drop the package containing it from a 3m height trying to balance it on my gatepost while 'social distancing' - but it survived and lives to tell the tale- phew!) So I can recommend, very pleased indeed.

Bought this product because I want reliable storage that will last well into the future without breaking down. I have 2 other LaCie drives and both are still good. I bought the LaCie Quadra in 2009 and though a little slow by today's standards, it still cranks up and runs well. My only gripe with this mobile drive is that I bought the 5TB version and only got 4.54TB. I wouldn't mind so much if I was told about this in the product description details because I might have even bought the 6TB to make up the difference. Not good! Was tempted to send it back but decided to live with it. Only had it a few days so I may add to this review in 6 months or 1 year. On the positive side, it really is just plug and play. Nice design, looks expensive. Seems heavy for it's size but I actually like that. Transfer speeds are not blistering but good. I would have given 5 stars across the board but not happy about the disk space hog.

As a long time Amazon customer and a sceptical review reader I write this to simply report my experience. I pondered this purchase long and hard, and found the reviews as confused as any I had seen before, so here is my perspective: The drive is slim and stylish, quiet as a mouse, has simple start up requirements (Mac) worked perfectly from the box and is currently purring away as a time machine back up, modestly warm to the touch and faster than anything I have previously used as a HDD. (using the perfectly serviceable USB-C to C cable) The links on the onboard software are to Seagate but work fine. I considered the 4tb, settled on the 2tb and would buy again in an instant. Presumably there are situations where the product is faulty or setup complicated by a third party factor, but from my experience I can recommend 100% plus of course, amazon and DPD's unbelievable next day service.

Very pleased with this. Good value. Large capacity. Neat and compact (if a little heavier than an earlier LaCie drive I had). Seems well made. Worked straight out of the box with my iMac. Great for backing up my large number of photo files, music and documents. Copy speed seems entirely adequate, but large amounts of data will take time. I had 2TB initially to copy and it took a few hours. Just set it going and leave it in that scenario, is my advice. I’m sure this is the same for any external drive and shouldn’t be held against this one. I recommend this for anyone looking for a good value back up drive.

I do not use the cloud to save my photos and videos, I bought 15 portable HD like this one and use them for this purpose. This one I bought nearly 5 years ago and I am happy with it. I only use it about every 3-4 months every year.

Use this drive with my iPad Pro 12.9" and my Macbook 2018 which both support USB-C to Backup and shuttle files around. I can plug the disk into my iPad Pro or Mac and I've got access to all my movies and files. Not very snappy, but I don't want my stuff scattered across a bunch of smaller external hard drives which can make finding things a pain, so the shear size of the storage to me outweighs the fact it's not SSD speeds like my iPad Pro & Macbook Pro storage. No external power supply required: works exclusively off of just the USB-C cable for both power and data. A bargain for a disk this size. BTW, it's form factor is really small- not like those other external hard drives that require a power supply. This one is truly portable. Totally recommend it for a great, chunky GP (General Purpose) external storage supply

Évaluation : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 étoiles) Je suis absolument enchanté par le LaCie Mobile Drive de 5 To en Moon Silver. Ce disque dur externe est devenu mon compagnon de stockage incontournable, alliant fiabilité, élégance et une capacité généreuse. Tout d'abord, la capacité de 5 To est tout simplement impressionnante. Elle me permet de stocker une grande quantité de données, y compris des vidéos en haute résolution, des photos, des fichiers volumineux et bien plus encore, sans m'inquiéter de manquer d'espace. C'est un vrai soulagement de savoir que je peux emporter avec moi tout ce dont j'ai besoin lors de mes déplacements ou dans mon studio. Le design Moon Silver est à la fois élégant et moderne. Le disque dur est bien fini avec un aspect métallique qui lui donne une touche de sophistication. Il est compact et léger, ce qui le rend facile à transporter et à glisser dans mon sac sans alourdir mon équipement. L'utilisation de l'interface USB-C est un véritable avantage. Non seulement cela garantit une connexion rapide et fiable à mon ordinateur, mais cela rend également le disque dur compatible avec une variété d'appareils modernes. J'apprécie également la compatibilité avec les ports USB-C Thunderbolt, qui permettent des vitesses de transfert encore plus rapides lorsque cela est nécessaire. Un autre aspect fantastique de ce disque dur est le service de secours de 2 ans inclus. Cela me procure une tranquillité d'esprit supplémentaire en sachant que mes données sont protégées en cas d'incident imprévu. Enfin, la performance globale du LaCie Mobile Drive est excellente. Les vitesses de transfert sont rapides et fiables, et je n'ai rencontré aucun problème de performance jusqu'à présent. En conclusion, le LaCie Mobile Drive de 5 To en Moon Silver est un disque dur externe exceptionnel qui combine une capacité généreuse, un design élégant et une performance fiable.

Je le recommande vivement à tous ceux qui recherchent un disque dur externe de qualité supérieure avec une apparence moderne et des fonctionnalités avancées. Bravo à LaCie pour ce produit exceptionnel !

I absolutely loved this product, It feels great on hands while holding and has superior quality material. In addition to that comes the Hyper speed data transmission thanks to the USB Type-C, Seting up the device took me around 3 mins and transferred 136GB of heavy project files under 45mins, this is a killer product LaCie rules.

I have 2 of Lacie's mobile drives: 2tb and 5tb. Both of these came with such horrible quality usb-c cables that the slightest touch makes the drive disconnect with my Macbook Pro. So buying another usb-c cable now again, and for other macbook users with disconnecting hdd problems, I can vouch for the "Fasgear" cable. So drive is working perfectly, but the cables are cheap garbage. IF you have issues, it's most likely the cable.

Bence fiyat performans ürünü. Pek çok kullanıcıya hitap edebilecek bir ürün. Okuma yazma da hıza ihtiyacı olanlar SSD modellere bakmalı. Ben Apple cihazlarımdaki belge,resim,video,müzik gibi dosyaları arşivlemek için kullanıyorum. İşimi görüyor gayet güzel yeterli buldum.

El disco duro es sensacional, muy rápido como muy elegante, 100% recomendado.
