Great Little Machine

I bought mainly to backup my MBP M1 14 Inch as Time Machine, it is really fast when compared to hard drives. I also like It's sturdy yet small enough to carry. I keep it on my desk and plug/backup every week. Will see how long it last! I would recommend, it's pit pricey.

Perfect for that on the road or daily backup, or transport of files.

Great Drive, Broken Cable, Poor Service

By William

I bought this drive for editing RED footage in Adobe Premiere on my 2021 MacBook Pro. After about 1 hour of use I started getting disk not ejected properly errors once every few minutes. I switched from the included Thunderbolt 3 cable to a slower USB-C cable, which solved the immediate connection problems. Unfortunately, when I contacted support about getting a replacement TB3 cable, their only solution was to RMA the whole device - which is not possible when you're on a deadline. In my opinion, it is outrageous that at this price point, Seagate support cannot supply me with a working cable. It's not that the support staff were rude or unhelpful, but Seagate policy means their hands are tied. This is a great product and I'd like to purchase more of them for future projects, but the hassle of the broken cable, inadequate support, and having to go out of pocket for an Apple TB3 cable sours my outlook considerably.

Small and easy to use

We are backed up to the cloud from our iMac, but it is great to have pictures and Time Machine backed up to something easy to take, easy to hide, etc. It is the pictures that are the most important. The 5 year recovery guarentee gives us some confidence as well

This HD really delivers. It's everything it claims to be and worth the price... which B&H offered at a reasonable cost.

Asked by: Marcelo
The previous answer is incorrect. I was able to remove the orange rubber material and also remove the external cover abs successfully replace the 2TB NVme with a “Sabrent Rocket Q 8TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 3300/2900MB/s (SB-RKTQ-8TB)”. Sadly it cost $1,399.99 but it works. I now used the extra 2TB NVme on my PS5.

My gamer pc has USB 3.2 Gen 1 type A ports! Can an ssd external drive w/ 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB-C or USB 3.2 Gen 2 be compatible with my pc?
Asked by: Jorge
Yes, you can use a drive like the LaCie 1TB Rugged USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD BH #LASTHR100080 using an adapter but the speeds will only go up to Gen 1 speeds (5Gbps) so you will lose performance. If you have a desktop PC and an open PCie slot, you can install a PCie card with Gen 2 USB C and then be able to use the drive to it's full potential. This is a good option for the PCIe card if you are interested in exploring that option and have an available PCie slot on your Computer.
