Rugged USB-C External Hard Drive (STFR5000800) with Compact Portable Hard Drive Case, 5000 GB, Silver/Orange

Por temas de protección por accidentes decidí comprarlo. Bien hay opciones para proteger los disco externos pero ya llevo 3 perdidas. Lacie ya los había visto y he visto muy buenas opiniones. Hasta el momento me ha ayudado bastante. El puerto usb c acelera más la lectura y escritura. Todo muy bien .

Item arrived in a timely manner and as described. Everything works as it should and its super quite for an external hard drive device.

I have a few of these hard drives as I am a photographer and I go through them rather fast. Overall I won't complain because they haven't failed me yet. They're portable, they look nice and I love the little case on them and the amount of space is perfect. However, I do have one drive that sometimes needs me to unplug it from my computer a few times and switch the cord ends around for it to finally pick up on my computer. The light will be on, but not flashing like it does when it's being read. So it's not an issue with the cord or the ports. It knows it's plugged in but it's like it's stuck ? I'm not sure what causes it, but sometimes it takes some playing with before it decides to work. Overall, great little drive ! I'll keep buying them.

Very good quality!

The Seagate Lacie Rugged 5TB External Hard Drive (STFR5000800) is the definitive choice if your primary concern is physical data protection. Wrapped in its iconic orange rubber bumper, this drive is built like a tank, offering excellent shock, drop, and rain resistance. If you are regularly throwing your drive into a backpack, traveling, or working in unpredictable environments, the sheer peace of mind it offers is worth the premium. At 5TB, the storage capacity is massive, easily swallowing large media libraries, project archives, or full system backups. Setup is completely seamless with the included USB-C cable, working out of the box with modern laptops without needing an external power brick. However, it is crucial to understand what you are buying: this is a traditional, spinning platter mechanical hard drive (HDD), not a solid-state drive (SSD). While it is perfect for massive cold storage and continuous background backups, it is not built for lightning-fast file transfers or editing heavy 4K video directly off the drive. For a set-and-forget vault for your data, it excels; just don't expect SSD-level speed performance. The Pros: Unmatched Physical Durability: High-grade drop, crush, and rain resistance make it perfect for field use and travel. Massive Capacity: 5TB of space provides an enormous amount of storage for large archives and backups. Bus-Powered USB-C: Connects and powers directly through a single USB-C cable with no bulky wall adapter required. Rock-Solid Reliability: Mechanical architecture that handles long-term archival storage reliably. The Cons: Mechanical Drive Speeds: Transfer speeds are limited by standard HDD bottlenecks; large file transfers take time compared to portable SSDs. Bulky Footprint: The protective rubber housing adds noticeable physical bulk and weight to your bag. Premium Price Tag: You are paying a premium for the ruggedized branding and protective shell over standard, non-rugged desktop drives.
