LaCie Rugged RAID Shuttle 8TB, Portable External Hard Drive, USB-C, PC Mac iPad & iPhone (STHT8000800)

While working on contract in UAE I bought the Rugged Raid Shuttle 8TB drive on 15.03.2020, it was delivered on the 17.03.20, set up and operational as Raid drive 2*4TB on the 18.03.2020. Not even 1 week later the drive started to disconnected itself from the notebook. no difference whether it was connected via USB-C, USB 3.0 or connected to external power supply. And always when it was in operation, copying files or working in one of the saved word, autocad, excell documents. Tested on other Notebooks, even one Max, same result or rather no success. Verdict -- it appears that either the controller or the reader set up is not as rugged as it should be. I have other, up to 10year and older LaCie drives, which are still reliable. Hoped that the quality is still good and hoped in vain that Seagate drives used with LaCie are ramped up in robustness and reliability. Unfortunately that hope was in vain. Contacted support on the 01.04. and the sea gate support offered to replace a brandnew drive with a repaired one. after a bit of back and forth we agreed they send a new one as replacement. However i was advised that SeaGate cannot send to the UAE. The proposed workaround, Seagate send to Germany, and my partners in Germany forward, own account to UAE. the same procedure for returning the broken drive back to Seagate. all in all, 1 star is already one to much. I am now in Germany and reopened the docket. let see what is happening now. will keep you posted.

Ce disque dur est parfaitement compatible avec mon Apple Macbook Pro 16 pouces de 2023. Il marche parfaitement bien, il mesure 17cm X 14 cm et en épaisseur un peu moins de 2,5 cm, sa capacité est de 8To, ce qui est très honorable (il faut environ 9 à 10 heures de téléchargement de fichiers/dossiers pour le remplir complètement en une journée). il est livré avec une prise secteur avec plusieurs embouts différents pour pouvoir être rechargé partout dans le monde, lorsque c'est nécessaire. Je disposais déjà du Lacie rugged 5to, celui-ci le complète parfaitement. De plus, il est livré très rapidement. Je suis très content de mon achat et je le recommande

Difficile à utiliser à cause du système d'alimentation électrique; La broche du milieu est déjà HS

Muy bueno producto, lo uso para almacenamiento de librerías de Native Instruments Komplete 15, IK Multimedia Total Estudio Max 5, IR de guitarra, pdf de revistas de guitarra. Excelente producto .

Generally quite happy when it's working, but so often the drive is not available. The leads are quite loose fitting and the slightest movement of the drive or the cable and the connection is lost. For a "rugged" disk drive, the connections are very flimsy.

So far, so good. Arrived quickly, easy set up with Time Machine, excellent transfer speed. Needed more capacity for my backup, and my last LaCie served me well.
