What's the difference between this mini and the thunderbolt?

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.)

Is this a solid-state (flash storage) drive?

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

can i have a new macbook pro. can i get either the thunderbolt usb-c or the usb-c?

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.

How does usbc differ from the thunderbolt usb-c option? i see thunderbolt usbc is more expensive

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.

Genuine Seller

I have had one for one year ago, this is my second Lacie portable hard drive. They have never failed to impress with speed, performance and reliability. One more thing I liked that they are proving two cables (usb B to type A and usb B to Type c ) with this drive which I can use with my older mac and as well as latest mac. Seller is also Genuine, I checked in LaCie website, they are providing two year standard warranty on drive.

J’utilise ce LaCie Rugged Mini 1To depuis plusieurs mois maintenant, et il ne m’a jamais laissé tomber. Que ce soit pour sauvegarder mes projets, transporter des fichiers volumineux ou faire des copies de sécurité lors de déplacements, il répond toujours présent. Ce que j’adore en premier : sa robustesse. Le boîtier antichoc avec la coque orange emblématique en caoutchouc inspire tout de suite confiance. Il est conçu pour résister aux chocs, à l’eau (éclaboussures) et même à la poussière. Je l’ai emporté dans mon sac à dos en voyage, sur des tournages et même en randonnée, et il fonctionne toujours parfaitement. Côté performance, le transfert de fichiers est rapide et fluide, que ce soit en USB 3.0 ou en rétrocompatibilité USB 2.0. Il est immédiatement reconnu par mon PC et mon Mac, sans aucun souci de compatibilité. Et avec 1 To, j’ai largement de quoi stocker mes vidéos, photos RAW, documents, et plus encore. Il est aussi très compact et léger, ce qui est un gros plus quand on travaille souvent en mobilité. Et niveau design, il est aussi joli que solide, avec un look pro qui se démarque. En résumé : un disque dur ultra fiable, parfait pour ceux qui veulent un support de stockage robuste, performant et facile à transporter. LaCie reste une valeur sûre, et ce modèle Rugged Mini tient toutes ses promesses !
