We'd also opt for LaCie's 4TB model as the best of the bunch here. LaCie Rugged USB-C 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD USB 3.0, Drop Shock Dust Rain Resistant Shuttle Drive, for Mac and PC Computer Desktop Workstation Laptop, 1 Month Adobe CC (STFR5000800) Model : GSFY5-20-B079H-1. So it's difficult to recommend this drive if you don't need it for use cases where durability and the ability to take a knock or two is paramount.īut even then, an SSD (like the Samsung T3 USB 2TB) is likely to be a better purchase with a marked improvement in durability and speed – although it will cost you far more per GB.

The LaCie d2 Professional performs perfectly on Mac and PC alike and also features Seagate Iron Wolf Pro enterprise-class hard drives for industry-leading performance and reliability. Equally, you could look at non-rugged rivals and save a fair amount of money going for a 2TB Toshiba Canvio drive or indeed the Seagate Expansion 2TB drive which sells for £63 (around $80, AU$105) and probably uses the same hard drive as this LaCie model. The latest d2 USB-C desktop drive massively expands capacity up to 16 TB for professional bandwidth-intensive creative applications. Of course, then you'd lose out in terms of ruggedness. In truth, we'd almost prefer to have the drive without the orange 'bumper' case because it looks more stylish, and it's also more portable without the sleeve.

Genie Timeline Free offers Explorer-like file selection, allows you to backup open and locked files, and it offers a no-backup zone and file versioning. LaCie also provides a free version of Genie Timeline, a reasonably powerful backup application that only runs on Windows – which is slightly puzzling given that LaCie's primary customers use Macs.

LaCie urges you to install an application to determine whether you want to keep the drive as FAT32, an NTFS or a hybrid by moving a slider.

Other specs include 128MB of cache, a two-year warranty and a 5400RPM spinning speed.
