Lacie Rugged Firewire 800 Review

I love this drive as much as one can love a hard drive.

Lacie rugged firewire 800 review.

From my computer s hard drive it takes about 30 seconds to transfer 1 gb of data. Lacie has never disappointed me. Speed via firewire 800 is excellent i think. 5 0 out of 5 stars i recommend it.

I use the firewire 800 connection primarily with my powerbook for photo editing and it is incredibly fast. Reviewed in the united states on september 1 2016 used it to back up my 24 imac before installing el capitan. The lacie rugged all terrain drive is the first drive we ve tested with the firewire 800 interface and and what a speed improvement it is over firewire 400. Performance capacity or compatibility or all three.

I ve always been impressed with lacie s design engineering and reliability. At some point i ll move to thunderbolt but until then i m happy with the drives i have. Select the version optimized for your use. I like the double interface i can use this on my newer apple mac with usb 3 and the old chap that has a firewire interface.

Reviewed in the united kingdom on 21 april 2017 it looks rugged i haven t tested it by throwing it around so i ll take the supplier s word for it. I keep a backup drive at home so this rugged drive let s me take everything with me. When you need to securely carry a media library and access it from firewire 800 or usb 3 0 computers opt for the lacie rugged triple. 8 6 minutes to write and 7 6 minutes to.

I ve traveled with these drives all over the world and they ve never lost a bit of data on me. Lacie d2 quadra 3tb usb 2 0 esata firewire 800 400 used very good condition. With dual firewire ports you can daisy chain other peripherals to your computer. From the cd rom it takes about 7 minutes to transfer 1 gb of data which isn t bad at all.

Worked like a charm with no problems. Lacie rugged portable hard drives are the most trusted way to capture and transport data in the field. It s even smaller than it looks and extremely light weight. Also a great price.

Choose from thunderbolt usb c usb 3 0 and firewire 800. I continue to use firewire 800 even though i have thunderbolt as its fast enough for what i do and much cheaper at this point.
