Use it with a MacBook Pro and Macbook M1. Review: This review is for the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 1TB Solid State Drive — USB-C Thunderbolt 3. I'm using it as an external SSD for a Mac Mini w/ Thunderbolt 3. It comes formatted in exFAT which works on both Mac and PCs but it will be dedicated to a Mac Mini so it's best formatted as APFS for best speed. It took about 1sec to do that. It copied a movie file of 70 GB from the internal SSD in less than 10 sec. To do an encrypted Time Machine backup of the entire 256 GB SSD internal storage it took less than 15 mins. It's blazing fast and I'm impressed. Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and super light. Unless I have a problem and need to come back to update this review it stands as it is. ## Features - Model Number: STHZ1000800 - Item Package Quantity: 1 - Package Weight: 210 grams - Package Dimensions (L x B x H) in cm: 3.8 x 9 x 14.3 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07X1ZMFKG | | Best Sellers Rank | 219,849 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 456 in External Solid State Drives | | Box Contents | 1 piece | | Brand Name | LaCie | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 1 | | Color | Schwarz | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Customer Package Type | Protected packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (129) | | Data Transfer Rate | 2800 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Enclosure Material | NAND flash memory | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00763649137697 | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Thunderbolt 3 | | Hard-Drive Size | 1 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | Thunderbolt, USB, USB Type C | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 14.3L x 9W x 14.3Th centimetres | | Item Weight | 100 Grams | | Manufacturer | Lacie | | Media Speed | 2.800 megabytes_per_second | | Model Name | STHZ1000800 | | Model Number | STHZ1000800 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Thunderbolt | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Water Resistant | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Read Speed | 2800 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | General Personal Computing | | UPC | 763649137697 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LaCie - **Colour:** Schwarz - **Compatible devices:** Laptop - **Connectivity technology:** Thunderbolt - **Digital storage capacity:** 1 TB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Thunderbolt 3 - **Installation type:** External Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Water Resistant ## Images ![LaCie 1To SSD RUGGED PRO THUNDERBOLT3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712xZ84ec7L.jpg) ![LaCie 1To SSD RUGGED PRO THUNDERBOLT3 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KmURx2cWL.jpg) ![LaCie 1To SSD RUGGED PRO THUNDERBOLT3 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cSibYSy1L.jpg) ![LaCie 1To SSD RUGGED PRO THUNDERBOLT3 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717iRHyIdPL.jpg) ![LaCie 1To SSD RUGGED PRO THUNDERBOLT3 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZUQwt40nL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's the difference between this mini and the thunderbolt?** A: If I understand the question, the only difference between the two drives is that the one you are referencing has a USB 3.0 port, and the other has a Thunderbolt port. 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value and very fast *by S***N on 1 September 2022* After lots of research and trying to get info ‘real world’ performance, arrived at this as the best choice and most effective.

The LaCie SSD comes with a thunderbolt 3 cable. It's really short, so I bought a longer one for $20 on Amazon with my order perfect. I formatted and rebooted the computer and installed Mac OS. It feels like I got a new computer, snappy and fast. Does get a bit warm but that's to be expected for an external SSD.
