Highly recommended for Mac users

I have previously ordered 2 different Seagate external hard drives and sent them back because they were too complex to work with. A few days ago I decided to give my new Mac a try again. However, I found so many terrible reviews that I decided to look for something other than Seagate. I discovered Lacey and she had strong reviews. He arrived today. I connected to my Mac Air Book and bam! Time Machine popped up and a few clicks started the download. It took about 20 minutes to download 97GBโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Having a MacBook Pro 15" 2018 that was upgraded to Big Sur yesterday, but today LaCie's "permissions" now prevent me from writing Time Machine backups to it. Even if "Get More Info" is "unlocked" in the popup, I can't change permissions. Shares and Permissions state that "Read and Write" already exists for "System" and "Rad". For "everyone" it is read-only. If you try to change any of them, "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permission". I AM the admin andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Annoying

Don't turn it off, throw it away!

This disc has been ejected 3 times without ejecting and each time all content was lost the disc had to be reformatted and copied again. This has never happened to me before with any other drive. Otherwise the case feels really solid and it's a very attractive drive. I can't say anything about the performance.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Stopped working within two months

Drive died within two months. While this is unacceptable, I understand that these things happen and it's usually easy to get a replacement from the manufacturer when still under warranty. Not so with LaCie, which has perhaps one of the worst customer services in the world. After going through a lengthy online process, LaCie emailed me a tech support phone number, which I did. Unfortunately the number didn't work. A few weeks later, I still hadn't been able to reach anyone at the company. Do not

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Appearance

It works great with a MacBook Pro

I need an external Time Machine backup drive and one to store my startup drive. I first bought a Western Digital external drive and was very disappointed as it loaded software that seemed to conflict with the operation of Disk Utility. I was able to get a Time Machine backup and when it was ready you had to force eject the drive. This drive works great and doesn't crash when your MacBook goes to sleep, installs updates, or performs other operations. I've been using LaCie external drives forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Enjoy 2TB capacity for photos, playlists, documents and more
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Works with MB Pro - 2019

This drive works like your Time Machine on the Mac Book Pro (2019 release); USB 3 connects perfectly. A NOTICE. You need to tell the MAC that this is the drive you want to use for MAC Time Machine backup software (you should also encrypt your backup data). All in all it took 5 minutes to connect and assign, and the backups worked and are working fine, which is the point of getting one. I also use half of this drive as long-term storage for old clients and large files that are just taking up too

Pros
  • Sleek, travel-friendly design
Cons
  • Expensive

Plug and play on a brand new 2019 MacBook Air

I bought this external hard drive for my mother who is elderly and has some technological challenges. She just bought a new MacBook Air and needed a new external hard drive for use with Time Machine. I sent her this hard drive home and the delivery was fast. My mom was able to just plug the drive into the USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 hub (Thunderbolt 3) I gave her, then plug it into her MacBook Air and get started. The hard drive works fine even with a daisy chain of cables. The look is sleek and matches

Pros
  • Connect via USB-C for high-speed data transfer
Cons
  • New competition is here
