LaCie Rugged Mini SSD 4TB Solid State Drive - USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, speeds up to 2000MB/s, Compatible with PC, Mac, and iPad (STMF4000400)

I purchased this Lacie 2 TB SSD external hard drive to back up my Apple computer using Time Machine! It was so fast and so easy to create the back up I’m thrilled with that. I wish there was an 8 TB SSD hard drive just like it —they’re hard to find!

it's fast, and great to edit video off of but it's a tad expensive. good build quality and has been reliable so far.

It is very efficient. I can not believe how a small device can accomplish this much.

This is everything I need for my iMac photos. I'm getting ~900MB/sec write speed and ~950MB/sec read speed. Works great and have had no issues re-initializing for the mac and connecting and transferring my photo library which is about 450GB.

This has been a great product so far, but I have some major gripes with the design... It looks really cool and seems to be well-designed to protect against bumps and drops, but the hard drive comes in three pieces: the hard drive itself, the USB-C cable, and the "cap" that covers the hard drive's USB-C port. These are three separate pieces that really only should be two: the hard drive and cord. It seems inevitable that I am going to lose the cap... Also: the white "pouch" the product comes in does not seem to have been meant to be permanent, so you have at least 2 if not 3 pieces to this hard drive without a means of ensuring they are kept all together... So while hard drive looks cool and functions great (so far), the design IMO is kind of poorly thought-out. I only harp-on about this, because the design of the product is so heavily marketed, even applying a specific designer's name to it and touting how "good" it is.

Beats other storage external devices. It is rugged and reliable.

I’ve had this for about a week and works seamlessly with my 2023 MacBook Pro via Thunderbolt 4 port. It’s fast and mounts quickly. A definite upgrade from my 5 year old Western Digital. Transferred +200GB directory in minutes.

I like the sleek and smaller size of this external drive. But after loading the files I need, I should’ve gotten more memory. Its never enough! Its supposedly faster but did not really notice the difference. Maybe since I did not fill it up all the way. Still an excellent buy in my opinion.

Excellent product you get what you should Excellent hardware and software

Alles gut

A great little SSD. Perfect for what I need and the speeds are decent. Easy to stuff in my bag and sling around for work.

2Tの外付けSSD（11個）に映像データを保存。 念の為、４Tの外付けHDD（5個）と ２Tの外付けHDD（1個）にバックアップしているが、追加や削除を繰り返してるので、 デフラグの代わりに初期化・再コピーで対応。その為、一時保管場所として本製品を購入。 初期化は、これを機に古いMac OS拡張（ジャーナリング）から 最新のAPFS（アップル・ファイル・システム）に全てのSSDとHDDを変更。 良かった点 ・SSDはコピーが速い（HDDの３〜４倍くらい速い） ・発熱が少ない（SSDなのでオレンジのゴムカバー付きでも熱くならない） 気になった点 ・2025年11月購入なのに、届いた製品の製造年が2024年で古い。 ・価格が高い。約40000円。LaCie製品全般で高く感じる。 今回は海外取り寄せでなく在庫ありの為、２日後に届いたので良しとする。 持っている外付けのSSDとHDD全てが、デザインが好きなLaCie製品なので、まぁ満足しています。

From the first moment I can say the following, recording with the original cable occurs instantly 45 g/b in less than a minute. then the data is processed inside the SSD disk without loss of quality. works perfectly and quickly both for reception and transmission. of course this comment will be edited depending on its content and further work. at the moment just excellent indicators.
