Review: Great Dane Proof - GREAT DANE PROOF! these hard drives may be the toughest hard drives around. if you have kids or dogs like me I highly recommend them. I came home one day to my Great Dane puppy throwing one of these up in the air in my back yard and and trying to catch it. he had pulled the cord out and chewed entirely around the sides of it. all while doing this in the dirt pit in the middle of my yard.( my fault I left the hard drive on a table next to my couch.) well fast forward to a year and a half later and I still am able to use this hard drive as normal. I recommend them all day. transfer speeds are good. rubber case is durable. and no issues with compatibility for my Mac. Review: Perfect for Workflow - I couldn’t be happier with my decision! As a video and graphic designer, having reliable and efficient storage is crucial, and this device delivers on all fronts. Design: The sleek and modern design of the Lecie external drive is both stylish and practical. It has a compact form factor that easily fits into my laptop bag, making it perfect for on-the-go work. The build quality feels robust, and I appreciate the matte finish that resists fingerprints and smudges. Practicality: This external storage is incredibly user-friendly. It’s plug-and-play, which means I was able to start using it immediately without any complicated setup. The included USB-C connection ensures compatibility with my MacBook Pro, and it even comes with a USB-A adapter for older devices. Fast Transfer: One of the standout features is the transfer speed. I’ve tested it with large video files, and the data transfer is impressively fast. Copying and moving files is a breeze, allowing me to focus more on my projects rather than waiting around for uploads or downloads. Seamless Performance: It works flawlessly with my MacBook Pro. I’ve experienced no lag or connectivity issues, and it integrates seamlessly with my workflow.

The drives themselves are identical. If you have a computer with a USB port, of any generation, the drive with the USB 3.0 port will work well with it. The drive is fastest when it's plugged into a USB 3.0 port, but is backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 port. The drive with the Thunderbolt port will work only with a computer that also has a Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt is faster than USB, but is not yet in really wide use. Step one: Determine which ports your computer has. The LaCie drive itself is a gem, regardless of which port it uses. (P.S. Some drives have BOTH USB and Thunderbolt connectivity.) **Q: Is this a solid-state (flash storage) drive?** A: I searched Amazon for a LaCie solid state (SSD) external portable drive and was brought to this page. Most of the reviews don't mention SSD and it appears that all the reviews for the several different models of this LaCie external drive are combined together. So, 4 people said no, this is not about drives with SSD, and then one person said yes. Far more people are not going to have an SSD model because it's WAY more expensive. Most people will prefer to get one that is in the $150-$250 price range at most. The ones with SSD cost a lot more than that. And worth it too if you have the money because they are so fast, no comparison. If i scroll up from this Question section, this is what is at the top of the auction page but again these same questions and reviews will show up no matter which model you search for, with a different name at the top: LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 SSD 1TB Portable Hard Drive LAC9000602 **Q: can i have a new macbook pro. can i get either the thunderbolt usb-c or the usb-c?** A: A USB-C hard drive is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports on a Mac, so this will work. Also works of course with USB-C ports, and older USB 3.0 ports using supplied cable. **Q: How does usbc differ from the thunderbolt usb-c option? i see thunderbolt usbc is more expensive** A: USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 share the same physical connection type (USB-C). USB-C devices can be connected to Thunderbolt 3 ports, as TB3 supports USB-C devices. However, TB3 drives cannot be connected to USB-C ports on computer. So, this USB-C drive will connect to USB-C ports, Thunderbolt 3 ports, or using included cable, USB 3.0/2.0 ports. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Dane Proof *by C***D on October 29, 2025* GREAT DANE PROOF! these hard drives may be the toughest hard drives around. if you have kids or dogs like me I highly recommend them.

Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and I couldn't be happier. It runs very smoothly *by C***. on March 24, 2017* I originally bought the LaCie hard drive because my MacBook was running out of storage. I rely heavily on my computer for online school as well as photography/filmmaking. Importing footage used to be a nightmare, and I was constantly deleting apps for space. My biggest worry was losing all of my essays, photographs, and short films, so I purchased the 1TB LaCie Rugged Mini. I've been using it for about 4 months now with absolutely no problems. Other than SD cards and limited space USB drives, this is my first real external storage device, and I couldn't be happier. It runs very smoothly, backs up my computer quickly, and has the space for all of my school work, imported footage, edited footage, and final projects. I've read reviews saying back ups were lost, but I have had no issues with crashing or loss of data. One of the main reasons I got the rugged mini was because I am a college student and I knew I would be carrying this around often. The size is no bigger than my iPhone, and I've noticed no damage from the few drops it has endured since purchase (about 5, 3 foot drops over the past 4 months). Another pro about this external hard drive is that it is compatible with MacOS (a feature I noticed other products didn't tend to have for some reason-mine is currently running on 10.12 Sierra). If I run out of storage again, this will be my go-to. Highly recommend. I'll post any updates if I encounter any problems down the line. ## Frequently Bought Together - LaCie USB 3.0 1TB Rugged Mini Hard Drive - Case Compatible with LaCie Rugged Mini 1TB/ 2TB/ 4TB/ 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD, Storage Holder for Hard Drives for Mac and PC Computer & USB 3.0 2.0 Cable SD Cards (Orange) - CableCreation 1FT USB C to Micro B Cable,10Gbps Speed External Hard Drive Braided,USB 3.1 Type C to Micro B Work for iPhone 15,16,Seagate WD Westgate My Passport,MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1926597-rugged-mini-1tb-2-5-portable-external-hard-drive-pc](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1926597-rugged-mini-1tb-2-5-portable-external-hard-drive-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
