LaCie Rugged USB-C External Drive Review - 2TB / 4TB

VIDEO INDEX:

00:43 - Hardware overview
02:20 - Compared to lower cost non rugged drives
03:11 - Blackmagic disk speed benchmark
03:40 - 4k Multicamera editing
04:14 - Conclusion and final thoughts

This drive is designed for professionals looking for a sturdier drive for transporting data. The same performance and capacity can be found in drives that cost half as much but they won't survive drops and other accidents as well as this one might.

The interface is a USB-C connector but it comes with a USB-C to standard USB 3 cable in the box as well. It works off of the 3.1 Gen 1 standard which is fine for a spinning drive.

I read that the drive in use a higher quality disk drive like a data center equivalent designed to be left on 24/7
vs regular external portable drives

Hey there! I edit videos on a Mac book pro and wanted to ask if you recommend this type of hard drive? You mentioned in the video that if you edit videos, you recommend an external SSD though. What are you're thoughts?

[nelson]

will that work on a 2017 macbook pro usb type c port thunderbolt3?

[GameplayandTalk]

Ouch, that price. Seems like a nice product for professional use at the very least.

Hi, What is the difference between the Lacie rugged STFR5000800 5tb model and the STDR5000800 5tb model?

[m_kuhlmann]

do you know, if they are going to release one with an integrated cable like the rugged thunderbolt? I really really liked the integrated cable, because it was very sleek and you didn't have to carry around another cable. Maybe you know more...

[jessylotti]

hi can you kindly tell me if i have to but the usb-c to regular USB 3 cable what type i should buy?

Hi Lon. Can you review a new cheap laptop for us please? I've seen an ASUS EeeBook E202 (E202SA), with a Intel® Celeron® N3050, 11.6" display, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD. The only problem in my country, this version runs a Free DOS, so no Windows 10. And one more thing, I have an advice for the future reviews of laptops. Maybe you can add a new test to the list, and that's emulation of android in apps like Remix OS Player to see if we can run Android inside Windows on cheap laptops with only 2GB of RAM. Thanks.

Tengo el disco externo LACIE PORSCHE DESING USB 2.0 de 500GB que utilice hace muchos años con windows XP y ahora no consigo que lo reconozca windows 7 para recuperar la información. ¿ALGUIEN TIENE LA SOLUCIÓN?

[spencermitsuing]

will this work on a ps4 pro or Xbox one s?

[metallpt]

How are the connects on the drive and to the computer? I heard they are loose and people complain about accidentally bumping it and it disconnecting and messing up their files

[Sblackphoto]

Can this be used without the pc / laptop.
Can i plug a usb c card reader into it and offload my files.

What's the brand and model of the hard drive he keeps referring as "this one?"
