LaCie 3TB d2 USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series Hard Drive for photo back up

9 years 10 months ago #376361 by Robert Hardy
I'm surfing around on Apples website and looking at this 3TB external hard drive from LacCie.  Anyone have this and have any feedback?   store.apple.com/us/product/HB313ZM/A/lac...-hard-drive?fnode=5f

I need something I can set up to automatically back up my photo folders.

Mac has their own backup software that should work really good with that.  I would call up Lacie, I'm sure they can give more details on that.

It's hard to go off of reviews on certain sites.  Like Amazon, many of those reviews I hear are from friends of the company.  I would rather hear from people I trust.

Don't have, but looking at the specs and reviews, it's a good back up solution.

Um, where did you get that impression? You "heard" that? Is your source less impeachable than Amazon?

There are plenty of negative reviews on Amazon, which I find useful in gauging a product. And some make sense, some do not. But "friends" wouldn't write bad reviews. Amazon isn't immune to fraudulent reviews, but I think most of those are associated with merchants (partners).

Don't know about this one, but I have one of their orange ones and it's a good back up solution

This look good for back up. I have Firewire LaCie drives and Western Digital drives. I use single drives like this for my Time machine backups but for storage and working space I only use dual drives that I can use RAID configuration.
