LaCie Thunderbolt Rugged Hard drive- is it worth it?? A Lacie hard drive review from Spencer Harris

[@ornjmoonmusicproductions3349]

you answered the very question I was looking for an answer to! Thanks!

[@thestxnedbisexual]

Oh I love this introooo, even if it is 2 years old lol

[@rmallea1]

Me too.

[@MATTYDAZZ]

Someone new! Awesome bro!

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

PDMAXX hey man! Thanks so much! I appreciate that! Glad to have you here! 🤙🏽 throw me any suggestions you may have for future videos! Thanks again man!

[@MyFriendMesha]

Nice job Spencer!! So needed this info!

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

My Friend Mesha thanks for the idea!

[@MyFriendMesha]

You bet -- Now you could walk through the process you told me about -- use the lacie to work and then transfer all that over to your permanent hard drive. - Just an idea - Keep going!

[@riccardoschmitt8209]

Really Good Video, your intrattainment is very Professional, your editing Skills are very good, keep going 👌

[@TissueTee4495]

Where can I buy this particular model, (I'm in Canada)? I need one urgently and can't seem to find this model anywhere. My comp. Does not have a USB-C it does have a Thunderbolt so this would be perfect. 😊

[@jomoanderson5596]

I just bought one over at The Grove days ago. This vid is 3 years old-are the sentiments the same,& do you back up your HD w/ another one? Is Cloud a thing 4 U now?

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

Yup, actually still using the one in this video! I do have everything backed up, yes. I’ve come around now to the apple cloud, just for phone photos though. Thanks for watching!

[@NikCan66]

Excellent review

[@mynamesjeffhardly]

The speed test is tainted because he loaded the thunderbolt drive first. They're both pretty fast and about the same speed. Other than that, I'm interested in the Lacie because of the ruggedness and speed. I'm a little hesitant because it is a Seagate product and they've been known to be faulty but I'm sure their quality control has gotten better.

[@robtbomba3491]

Have a couple of LaCie SSD mobiles and two SanDisk SSD extremes, but my favorite SSD is my Samsung T7. After Macs reached the Monterey OS, well I had problems using all but the Samsung.

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

I have a few T7’s now too. SO GOOD!

[@nophaseplayer]

Hey man can I store all Adobe Apps on there cause I’m the market to buy one of this hardrive so I can keep on create cool stuff. Please let know

[@beebri2213]

Hi! So I’m a writer & photo hoarder, as well as a college student. This is the only hard drive on my campus website, and I’m just trying to figure out if it’s worth spending free-ish money on or if I can just go get a different one?

[@beebri2213]

It says specifically “LaCie STFR1000800” Thank you! In the case you respond haha

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

These are great hard drives. Since the making of this video I have also switched to Samsung T5’s. (1Tb). I would go with either. Can’t go wrong. (But the samsungs are faster [and more expensive] b/c they are solid state drives). Happy New Year!

[@iwistudio7337]

I’m looking into getting one of these but Is there a way to put photos from a iphone on it?

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

Hey, yeah absolutely. Not sure if you are on a mac or a pc, but if you are on a mac, just import the photos into your photo library and then all you have to do is select them and drag into the harddrive folder that you want. Super easy

Thus is version 1TB. Higher version have separately usb c cable. So Spencer forgot to write here and speak about it.

[@sarankeo4963]

Thanks 💐

[@BestGamesJustin]

i m curious about ssd samsung t5 3.0 vs lacie hdd usb 3.0

[@ilovetelevision24]

Does it come with USB cord ?

[@RunNGunPhoto]

Be careful with the LaCies! I’ve gone through 4 in less than 4 years. They just stop working suddenly and you’ll lose all your work. The “rugged” look is also very misleading.

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

Run N Gun very good to know! Luckily I back up everything on my 8tb desktop hardrive... running out of space on that one tho, may need to get another! Thanks for the sub man, appreciate it!

[@kylebuchan9401]

@@SpencerHarrisPortfolio Hey how have you found this LaCie? Is it still working?

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

@@kylebuchan9401 yeah- all still working! Still working projects off of them as well. No issues thus far******** knock on wood!

[@kylebuchan9401]

@@SpencerHarrisPortfolio Ok thanks, i think i'll get one, Just need to decide if i should get a 2tb or 4 or 5tb because i only need it for photos/videos right now. How long do you think they last? 10 years? What happens to pictures when it stops working?

[@rvlifelivingthedream3177]

@@kylebuchan9401 they disappear

[@Getsuga2000]

It’s seagate sorry I had have problems with it before so I think I’m going with the Sandisk

[@Mariiiam]

OMG! You actually dropped it!! Did something happen or it’s really okay?!!!

[@MyRackley]

Fun fact: "La Cie" is a pun. The parent company is Seagate, and La Cie is French for "The Company". The enclosed chip is called a "FireCuda", which presumably is some sort of mythical sea monster. Lol. 🌊

[@stevencruz3348]

Can I use this for Xbox

[@SpencerHarrisPortfolio]

Not sure

[@jesseellis3203]

Had to break mine down because it stopped working.

[@WidleyWesident]

Lovely. Still doesn’t explain why my LaCie drive broke whilst left in the drawer at home. 😢

[@kofski]

Mine broke after only 9k hours on time and being switched on 3k times....pathetic XD

[@agreg.67]

Its a company of seagate. Seagate drives are THE WORST CRAP EVER.... Buy Western Digital if you want Hard Drives, but I would recommend buying SSD-s instead

[@martinolivares1567]

Whats the difference between storing my work on Google Drive and this? I was wondering if I should get one, but my school gives us our own google drive with unlimited storage.

[@TCFan25]

Underneath the pretty case is just another Seagate 🙄...I just got a WD SATA blue 2tb and enclosure for $70 cheaper.

[@aajusansjunger9403]

Are WDs worth it?

[@marknemeth267]

​@@aajusansjunger9403 Yes, WD is a very good brand. Some say it's much better than Seagate but I have good experiences with that brand as well. I have two Seagate external hard drives, both 1 TB, as well as a WD my passport, also 1 TB. I might add that our computer has a WD external hard drive since around 2011 or 2012. So yeah, you can't go wrong with WD but you can't go wrong with Seagate either.
