Review: Worked right out of the box - 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. Review: Unexpectedly small and extremely powerful - Was in the market for an external HDD Hard drive and stumbled upon this pup and decided to spend the extra money and go with and SSD. Glad I did. I am using this to store extended sound libraries from some Logic Pro X and other third party sound libraries. Pros 1) Extremely small and light weight. Fits in the palm of my hand 2) Has the same LaCie Durability that their HDD Hard Drives have 3) Incredibly fast. It took about 20 minutes to download 80% of extended Logic Pro X sound library onto this little thing. 4) The connection when using the external sound libraries with the program is seamless. No delays in connection. Cons 1) The mini thunder bolt 3 (USBC) cord they give you is small and very sensitive so if you're moving the computer around at all, the connection will get cut. Something to keep in mind if you're outdoors and using this for photography. 2) Can heat up rather quickly if its being used for an extended period of time. I am currently using it in the winter time in a cooler room, so i'm not overly concerned about it now. ## Features - Harness top Thunderbolt 3 speeds with the Seagate FireCuda NVMe SSD for playback/recording of up to 2800MB/s on 6K, 8K, and super slo-mo video - Tackle any terrain with extreme IP67-rated water resistance, three-meter drop tolerance, two-ton car crush resistance, and dust resistance in a palm-sized external SSD drive - Works with Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C on IPAD, Mac and Windows computers - Take advantage of a one-month complimentary membership to Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps Plan for access to awesome photo and video editing apps - Enjoy long-term peace of mind with the included five-year limited product warranty protection plan featuring Rescue Data Recovery Services ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08VKZHYTD | | Additional Features | Water Resistant | | Best Sellers Rank | #308 in External Solid State Drives | | Brand | LaCie | | Built-In Media | LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 4TB THUNDERBOLT 3 + USB 3.1 | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 4 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | Thunderbolt 3, USB-C | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 291 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 2800 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 4 TB | | Enclosure Material | Nand Flash | | Form Factor | Portable | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB-C | | Hard-Drive Size | 4 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Type C | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 5.71"L x 3.52"W x 1.44"Th | | Item Length | 1.7 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 100 Grams | | Item Width | 6.49 Centimeters | | Manufacturer | LaCie | | Media Speed | 2800 MB/s | | Mfr Part Number | STHZ4000800 | | Model Name | Rugged SSD Pro | | Model Number | STHZ4000800 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 2800 Megabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Water Resistant | | UPC | 763649161234 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 5-year limited manufacturer warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LaCie - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** Thunderbolt 3, USB-C - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 4 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB-C - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Water Resistant ## Images ![LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 4TB Solid State Drive — USB-C Thunderbolt 3, Drop Shock Dust Water Resistant, for Mac and PC Computer Desktop Laptop, 1 Mo Adobe CC All App Plan, Rescue Services (STHZ4000800) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gjzzSdsNL.jpg) ![LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 4TB Solid State Drive — USB-C Thunderbolt 3, Drop Shock Dust Water Resistant, for Mac and PC Computer Desktop Laptop, 1 Mo Adobe CC All App Plan, Rescue Services (STHZ4000800) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b0VzKd-OL.jpg) ![LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 4TB Solid State Drive — USB-C Thunderbolt 3, Drop Shock Dust Water Resistant, for Mac and PC Computer Desktop Laptop, 1 Mo Adobe CC All App Plan, Rescue Services (STHZ4000800) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZeZBBQb7L.jpg) ![LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 4TB Solid State Drive — USB-C Thunderbolt 3, Drop Shock Dust Water Resistant, for Mac and PC Computer Desktop Laptop, 1 Mo Adobe CC All App Plan, Rescue Services (STHZ4000800) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ITpLrWigL.jpg) ![LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 4TB Solid State Drive — USB-C Thunderbolt 3, Drop Shock Dust Water Resistant, for Mac and PC Computer Desktop Laptop, 1 Mo Adobe CC All App Plan, Rescue Services (STHZ4000800) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rlKczebuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked right out of the box *by E***A on June 15, 2024* This review is for the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro 1TB Solid State Drive — USB-C Thunderbolt 3.
