Are Lacie Drives Solid State

LaCie drives are excellent, and priced right.

These are super-solid drives for the money. Not the fastest or cheapest but that's not what I need. I have a video company where I edit/work on projects on fast SSD drives, then transfer to the LaCie Ruggeds for archiving long-term. Since 2011, over a few sizes and models, I have only had one drive fail out of around 50 drives. The drive was a few years old when it died- and I traveled to Europe and Asia with me a few times, (it still works but I can't write to it- didn't lose any data thank goodness). Most impressive though was the LaCie I gave to my kid when she was 6 years old. It has fallen out of her back pack so many times.. she is now 13- why/how does this thing still work? Ha ha.. thanks LaCie and B&H.

I love LaCie hard drives and SSD's.� This 5TB hard drive is as solid as a rock.� I have gotten rid of all of my other drives and ONLY use the LaCie Rugged drives now.� I use Adobe Premiere Pro on my Mac Pro (late 2013) computer and my LaCie rugged drives are a perfect fit. LaCie uses Seagate drives which has been a very dependable drive for me for many years.� Seagate has been around since 1979.

I purchased 2 of the 12 TB drives. I normally have used G-drive or Lacie drives. The Glyph drives seem solid and are just as fast. I use mine for photo storage, one a working drive and the other a clone. For my LR database I use a fast SSD so these rotating drives are just for the actual photos. The speed is fine and I have a little less than 4 TB on them. I wanted something large enough to last for a while and not be near capacity in the near future. The drives do not run hot and the noise is comparable to the G-drives. The drives are large and heavy but I do not have an issue with that. I called their customer service just to ask a question and actually got someone right away and they were helpful. By the way I use them with a mac.

(Please note I did NOT say a solid state NAS drive.) Seagate NAS drives provide great storage capacity, in a standard-sized package, and they're designed for NAS. Highly recommend.

This Sabrent converter is great in allowing use of the new Solid State drives in older desktop machines. Plug-and-play. Works great

The Sandisk Ultra SSD's have been my first choice for solid state drives. Great performance and at a competitive price. I've done a lot of upgrades for people and have had zero issues with these.

As a computer repairman with decades of experience I only use Crucial Solid State Drives in my own computers and recommend them to all my clients. I have never had one fail though I have seen Samsung and Intel drives die.

Compared to old Hard drive which was not solid state, the new drive respond time is noticeable. Did not want to change drives because thought I was wasting money $243. but after changing drives glad I did. Ron I

I am IT guy who replaces mechanical hard drives with solid state hard drives approximately once per week. This is a great brand, with a good product at a great price. If you want to compare SSDs, look for the highest number of Input / Output Per Second (IOPs) to best judge performance. Read/write speed is not a good indicator. I would rate the drive as a B+, which is more great for most uses.
