💾 LaCie 2big Dock RAID 8TB External Hard Drive with SD Card CF Card Slots, for Mac and PC Data Redundancy Thunderbolt 3 USB-C USB 3.0, 1 Month Adobe CC, Data Recovery (STGB8000400) Review

This thing won't stay connected to my iMac. I've tried several Thunderbolt 3 cables, but touching them even lightly will lose the connection. I'm afraid the drive will be damaged if it isn't unmounted as often. I use Graid equivalents all the time with no problems. Basically, I wanted this device to be compatible with built-in SD and CF card readers. I should have returned it before it was too late if I had bought the Graid instead.

I love LaCie wheels. I've bought several over the years including 3 different raid drives. I purchased a LaCie 2Big Dock Raid Thunderbolt3 20TB drive on May 29th. Today is August 14th and the drive is not working. If it worked, it was a good ride. There are no complaints. I've spent more time with our LaCie Technical Support to no avail. They will send me a new case. They say the disks should be fine. Unfortunately they have no idea when to send me an attachment as they have nothing to send…

I use this disc to edit video in Premiere Pro, both 1080HD and 4K video files. I chose this model based on my experience with Lacie products and the speed of this drive. I'm 4 ½ months old and it's been tough. I would buy this CD again. Great bang for your buck. Update February 2019: RAID did not turn on today. I contacted tech support and they sent me a new case. There is a good chance that the drives will not be recognized by the new RAID controller and my drives will initialize which will…

Love this drive - works well and is fast enough for video editing on a Mac Pro. It was a bit fiddly to set up and the instructions weren't the best. We strongly recommend reading the entire manual online. Uses a Lightning cable to USB-C adapter. Tried using a dedicated USB-C cable first (from Apple) but that didn't work and the drive was dead. Almost sent back - thought the power supply was defective (it has no light), then tried the dedicated Lightning- to Lightning cable and the Lightning to…

I usually wait about a year before writing a review but everything went great with my 2017 MBP. The speeds with TB3 are excellent and I don't have to buy an expensive docking station as it has BOTH DisplayPort and USB-C ports to support external displays (plus 2 TB3 ports for daisy chaining). I actually bought a $300 dock (which I attached this garland to) and never use the dock as it has everything I need. and if I was going to be using a lot of USB 3.0 devices I would just grab a much cheaper

I bought this drive at the end of 2018 and it worked great until 2 months ago. At this point I started getting disk read errors. About a month ago, the status indicator turned red. Tech support took up to 2 weeks to get back to me and consisted of the obvious workarounds 1. Try a different computer2. Try a different USB cable3. Try a different port on the computer as the 5 has a 5 year warranty I was able to get a new drive. I could either return my drive first, wait for it to arrive and then…

The docking station was purchased to replace a burned out Synology NAS and due to a change in backup strategy. I mainly use it for the photography workflow. I have a late 2015 MBP called TB2 so I need to use the dock with an Apple TB2 to 3 adapter. I saw somewhere that you need to use an Apple adapter for the dock to work properly. So far this circuit has worked flawlessly. I use it as a 10TB RAID 1 device. The rear DisplayPort connector is handy for a legacy external monitor, although you'll…

This hard drive was purchased based on Revain reviews and online reviews. Some reviews give the impression that this hard drive is Mac-ready. unfortunately this is not the case. Worse, the support is very poor: 1. Each tech support call results in a wait time of at least 30-45 minutes.2. When I finally found someone, he recommended I create an Apple Time Machine backup first. The backup took 20 hours for 1 terabyte of data. According to LaCie Technical Support, the backup should have taken 1-2…
