USB 3.0 the next generation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the LaCie Rugged Mini 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive with Rescue Data Recovery Services! This rugged little powerhouse has been a lifesaver for my digital storage needs. The compact design is perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle, and the durable construction provides peace of mind knowing my precious data is safe from accidents and drops. With a whopping 4TB of storage space, I can now back up all my files, photos, and videos without worry. The added bonus of Rescue Data Recovery Services is a game-changer, giving me an extra layer of protection and confidence. The data transfer speeds with USB 3.0 are blazing fast, making file transfers a breeze. LaCie's reliability is evident in this product, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone seeking a reliable and rugged external hard drive solution.

The WD 5TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Type-C External Hard Drive for Mac offers substantial storage capacity in a sleek, portable design. Its USB 3.0 and Type-C compatibility ensures fast data transfer speeds and easy connectivity with modern Mac systems. The drive comes pre-formatted for macOS and includes WD Discovery software for easy backups and security features. However, some users might find the bundled software redundant if they already use Apple's native solutions. Overall, it's a reliable choice for those needing ample storage with convenient Mac integration.

This is great backup storage! – Im using it with a Mac Pro, which meant that I had to format it for Mac OS. That did take a fair amount of time, one and a half day I think I remember, but I kept using my computer as usual while this was taking place, so it didnt matter much. The drive is compact, heavy and stands on nice rubber feet, very confidence inspiring! Comes with USB cable for USB 2.0 and 3.0 – I havent had a chance to experience USB 3.0 yet, so I dont know how fast that would be. The one thing I worried a little about before buying it, was noise…as it turns out, there is no noise, it is amazingly quiet. – So this is a very nice drive that I would enthusiastically recommend to anyone.

The USB 3.0 interface is super speedy and the storage capacity is outstanding for a device of this size. Highly recommended.

I was in NYC on a video job and needed a little more storage. This worked out great for the price. And being USB 3.0 it was fast. I'll probably get a few more. Small size made it easy to carry in my pocket.

The Passport USB 3.0 1 TB portable hard drive is the perfect size with able storage space for traveling and knowing any files you will need are secure on this device.

Lots of storage and with a 3.0 USB transfer rate it's really fast! Requiring no power supply, it's nice and portable. Just plug in and go. Great buy!

Nice built-in cover, great storage capacity. USB 3.0 transfer speeds. What's not to love!? Price was also great.

As a storage profesional with over 20 years of experienced I was intrigued by this product. I needed fast external storage and my MacBook Pro has the TB port. I wondered if the some of the pitfalls from other reviewers were true. Since my job requires finding the truth I did some digging and research found some answers that lead me to purchase the RS5212. Three importants questions needed to be answered. First, was the RS5212 truely a ThunderBolt(TB) device? The answer is yes. The TB logo means the product is certified by Intel and Apple. Intel and Apple approves the product before it can get that TB seal of approval. Second, I will definetly purchase other TB products in the future but would a single TB connection on the RS5212 be a deal breaker. Turns out that is the way the product is designed, can't really fault it here besides I am looking into getting a TB hub or dock to add more devices. Third, what type of performance should I expect from the RS5212. Could a TB throughput be slower than USB 3.0? That would be unusal, according to my math, 10Gb/s TB beats USB 3.0 5Gb/s, thats based on the specification. Both I had to see and test for myself. Regardless of the device I was benchmarking (SSD or HDD) the TB connection does have higher performance than USB 3.0 For any user looking for fast external storage you should get the RS5212, easy to intall and easy to setup.
