Review on πŸ’½ Portable 5TB External HDD Lacie Mobile Drive STHG with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt 3 Connectivity in Moon Silver by Stanislaw Bieroza ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

According to the instructions, you must format the drive with a certain file system in order to use Time Machine. In actuality, it worked like that. No issues after connecting the drive to the PC. I then opened the disk to inspect its contents (natural desire). A warranty file, two icons (one each for Windows and Mac). When I clicked the Mac icon, the product registration website opened. The item was registered, however setting up an account on the manufacturer's website was not feasible (some errors, confirmation links do not work, etc.). I then opened Time Machine to format and erase the disk. The disk then abruptly vanished. Win10 and Mac both missed it (including disk utilities). I only opened the Time Machine application because I was at a loss for what to do at the moment. Moreover, restarting the machine had no impact. I retried in the evening, and the disk utility at once detected it. I had no idea what it was. The dependability of this product is under debate. After formatting, Time Machine was started. lasts three days. For the time being.

Pros
  • Two cables are included, the enclosure is sturdy, elegant and compact, and the instructions are clear. When archiving a huge amount of dataβ€”more than 350 GBβ€”quietly and without significant warming.
Cons
  • You can get a "brick" if you do not pay attention to the need to immediately format the disk, and only then use it to create copies of Time Machine. Comments will have more information.
