1 TB USB 3.0 Portable External 💾 Hard Drive by LaCie Porsche Design P'9220 (302000) Review

Has pros: The review is not entirely about this model, but still. There is an external hard drive from this company with a design from Porsche since 2022. 10 years - normal flight. Some cons: I didn’t find it, except perhaps the price at the time of purchase, but in terms of price-lifetime - the disadvantage turned into a virtue

I wouldn't give this "drive" to my worst enemy. it doesn't turn on out of the box. After it finally works, the hull fails after two months. After a week of trying to find a support number, I finally got a response on Twitter. When we talk on the phone, they try to tell me that it costs about $15 to talk to them, but since there's nothing he can do about my ride, they will "waive" the fee. I was sent to a data recovery specialist who said it would cost $600-$700 to recover my data even though…

I have been using LaCie portable drives for at least 10 years and have not had any long term problems with them with constant power and use or long periods of storage without power. However, it became inevitable that I had to put in some serious effort to get them working on my Windows7 systems. I took off two stars because of the complexity and technical skill required to make them work, but I'm giving them three stars because they really work in the end. I'm sure many have returned their…

I buy these LaCie Porsche drives as Time Machine backups for my MacBookPro laptops. The drives have 1TB of free space and support laptops with 500GB drives. This is the best solution I've found to inexpensively backup my laptop. USB 3.0 is fast enough for file backups, but I can tell you it feels like forever when you have an entire laptop to restore. I keep buying these drives, not for the speed but for the reliability. Every time I needed it to work, the LaCie Porsche Design P'9220 worked…

After having bad luck with Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB (see my review), I bought this hard drive to back up two computers running Windows 10. The program was not installed from the hard drive, so i called tech support. I was redirected to several websites including one that I couldn't access with Firefox because it gave me a security warning (probably "invalid certificate"). So I had to go to this page through Opera, which allows you to bypass this warning. After backing up my laptop, I tried…

It died after 4 months. My computer (iMac) was about to fail so I bought it to use as a backup. It died after 4 months Months ago I kept getting errors "The USB device was using too much power and got disconnected". It was working great until it stopped. I didn't even set it to auto backup - I have it manually every week made or so it wasn't overloaded AND it didn't move much - I plugged it into my computer and it stayed in place until it died.

I'm a bit disappointed with this 5TB LaCie hard drive. This hibernation lingers too long upon activation, and since the drive is NTSF, my other LaCie 3TB collides with it, preventing me from transferring files from the 3TB drive directly to the 5TB drive. Windows 8.1 only sees software for one or the other, no matter what port they're plugged into. It's quite annoying to have to move files to another drive when one or the other LaCie is disabled, and then disconnect the other parts and load…

I bought this product but it turned out to be defective. When I initialized the drive and then tried to install an operating system on it. I was shocked when I received a warning that there was not enough free disk space to install this software. The hard drive showed only 259 MB free space! I have no idea how this is possible, but does this happen to even the best companies? I know LaCie makes very good drives because I have two 2TB Lacie hard drives that I've been using as Time Machine…

After buying a new Mac and realizing that Apple's proprietary technology was once again outdated (I had to buy an adapter to transfer data from my old Firewire drive), I decided to go with the new USB 3 technology With USB, my old devices work great with the new technology and the LaCie USB 3.0 drive backs up my iMac quickly and efficiently at a very affordable price compared to Thunderbolt drives. I got into PCs in the early days with the Apple IIc, and I can't even begin to imagine how much…

I just got this drive to replace my old backup drive (which was low on space at 100GB). The previous drive was also LaCie and has lasted me 3-4 years with no issues, as has my LaCie flash drive. This P9220 drive is beautiful and feels very heavy and well made. It is absolutely silent and does not heat up at all when placed on the table. I was transferring files over a USB 2.0 connection (my laptop is about 3 years old and doesn't have a USB 3.0) and it took about 10 hours to transfer 260GB of…

I've had it for about a week. I wanted something to back up all my files, music, etc. My TB was the right size. The price was right too. Also, I have used other Lacie storage products in the past with good results. It comes with built-in Genie Backup software, but I don't use it. I never trust automatic backup software on physical external drives - too many errors and error stories. If you're looking for automatic Time Machine backups, stick with the cloud (like Carbonite, Dropbox, etc.). Don't
