LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 5 4TB — shock‑resistant, USB‑C Portable External SSD, for Mac & Windows

Why did you choose this product over others?: Fast speeds and LaCie have always been reliable. Would recommend for any Apple user.

Data Stores Protape did themselves proud. Great service. Why did you choose this product over others?: quality, speed and storage capacity.

USB port in wrong place being on the side

Un LaCie de bonne qualité comme prévu avec cette marque, et surtout avec un Thunderbolt 5 qui reste rare sur le marché. C’est pour ça que je l’ai choisi malgré un prix assez élevé pour un 4 To. Très efficace avec un Mac Studio M4 MAX. Compte tenu du prix exorbitant des extensions mémoire d’Apple, ce SSD externe s'avère un complément indispensable, puissant et performant de mon nouvel ordi. Connexion immédiate sans aucune difficulté.

It works and was very easy to use.

Schijf werkt naar behoren. Snel en compact. Wel OPGELET: op heel wat aansluitingen van je computer werkt deze schijf niet. De schijf moet via de aansluiting gevoegd worden !! Ik moest de schijf aansluiten op de computer zelf. Werkte niet via of op een hub of dock.

These drives are hand-down awful. They are advertised as working on Windows or Mac which is not true. To work on Windows, you have to download complex software, and even then it doesn't work. Freezes up, is terribly slow. Way, way slower than any USB 4 port should be. I have very high end Dell Precision 7680, on which any drive should work fine and these do now. If you have only a Macbook, they may be okay, not sure. But if you plan to use them at all on Windows, just recognize they will not work, and the company's claim that they will is just false.

This drive gets very hot however it is fast;
