LaCie 2big RAID, 36TB, External Hard Drive Desktop, USB-C, 7.200 RPM, Enterprise Class Drives, for Mac and PC Desktop, 5 year Rescue Services (STHJ36000800)

Don't buy this. Really, don't buy this. It's unreliable and expensive.

Time will show if the fame of superior reliability is deserving the premium price. While advertised for Windows and Apple standards it clearly favours the Apple, arriving pre-configured in this flavour, and the transition to the Windows requirements is rather shaky. The double software system (The Manager and the Toolkit) is not convincing.

Just spent over an hour on Lacie Tech support, could not get Lacie Toolkit to even open.

This disk is so NOISY. It makes a noise like an old-fashioned floppy drive. It does not inspire confidence in the build quality or longevity. It's also really annoying.

I bought the 8TB version in early 2024 and configured for RAID 1 (so 4TB, mirrored). It developed a concerning habit of randomly deciding to rebuild the mirror without me asking to do it. On initially contacting Seagate support, I was first told there was nothing to worry about, which is nonsense. I didn't have to push too hard to get the drive replaced under warranty. They generously replaced my 8TB drive with this 36TB model, and within a couple of months of me receiving the replacement drive it decided ... you guesssed it ... to spontaneously rebuild the RAID mirror. When I contacted support again, the first response once more was that there's nothing to worry about. Seagate are not the reseller so they won't refund me, only issue another replacement. I have no appetite for that. I've been very careful to use the 'safely remove hardware' action every time I finish using it, but the fault still occurred. I've learned a very painful lesson the hard way here. Hopefully some people will read this and avoid repeating my experience.

Had the drive nearly six months, has worked perfectly and is happy running logic and pro tools sessions over 100 tracks. Quick and good value compared to ssd drives at the moment Its a tiny bit noisy but i hardly ever notice.

Partiamo dell'estetica... è bello e solido. Si presenta così bene che può essere un oggetto anche di arredamento. È abbastanza silenzioso (non concordo con le recensioni in cui viene descritto come rumoroso). Il trasferimento dati in Raid 1 è sui 200 MB/s , considerato che parliamo di un sistema con 8 tb di spazio (4tb in raid 1) mi sembra al di sopra della norma. Unico neo il manuale, che dovrebbe essere migliorato. Il software di gestione invece è buono. Provato a contattare anche il supporto tecnico... OTTIMO! per qualsiasi problematica o domanda, nel periodo di garanzia, si può contare su un supporto affidabile! Straconsigliato.

I've bought this raid drive to replace my QNAP nas which I didn't like at all as a photographer. I just wanted a drive to access all my photos and the nas was full of other garbage apps which made it a mess for me. So I've decided to once again go for a DAS (direct attached storage) and went for this drive. While I'm okey with its speed (not editing 4k videos from it), the thing that bothered me the most was the very slow wake up times and the readout of the folder contents, especially the ones containing a lot of files. It takes somethimes more than 3-4 seconds to display a folder contents, sometimes even more. I still have it but just use it as a backup drive, not connected to my mac anymore. Went back to a NAS, this time the Ubiquiti UNAS Pro which I love.

I was in the middle of editing an important project when I started to have some technical issues that turned out to be a problem with some drives that I probably should have replaced a year ago. I needed a new drive urgently and checked what was available on Amazon, plus delivery times. I found this 36tb drive for a very good price, which whilst it was not in my budget, I considered it to be worth stretching for, plus it could be delivered in 24 hours. Decision made and it actually arrived 21 hours after ordering it. Project situation was saved and despite the hiccup with my existing drive, it was now full steam ahead! Great service, really great raid drive setup, and once again I had a smile on my face and a real sense of relief.

Ha funzionato (male) 3 giorni. Dopo innumerevoli tentativi di copia si è disconnesso. Esito di SOS Mac: unità danneggiata. Storia breve e triste per un brand come Lacie che dovrebbe essere orientata al mercato professionale. Essendo nuovo dovrebbero sostituirmelo, nel caso aggiornerò la recensione.

MacBookProのTime Machineに使っていたHDDの更新のため、小型のRAIDとして評価の高かったこの機材（8T）にしました。RAID1でTime Machineと、写真・画像・文書のデータ用にパーティションを二つ作りました。APFS暗号化のフォーマットです。セットアップも使い勝手も実に楽です。セットアップ中にスイッチを押す箇所が一回あり、ここは短く押さないと電源が切れます。また、電源は3極とされていましたが、国内で使える2極のプラグが同梱されているので、アダプターを買う必要はありませんでした。NASも考えましたがセキュリティに不安がありやめました。使い始めたばかりなので、耐久性は今回評価をしません。
