    Excellent Hard Drive, Weird connection.
    This very cool looking and affordable hard drive arrived on time in perfect condition brand new of course and included was a small cable that I couldn't really do anything with as I wanted to connect the computer directly to an older iMac USB interface.Talked to a computer techie kind of guy that worked for Best Buy and after a lot of back and forth thing he said do you have a USB to Android cell phone charger cord? He said try plugging the Android end into the larger part of the connection on the hard drive and plug that in the back of your iMac which I did. Magically, with this phone charger cord that I got at QT for two bucks, the hard drive was recognized by the iMac and I was able to transfer files and everything, weird huh?Anyway, the guy checked the store and they actually make a cable that plugs into the bottom of the hard drive, you can see the strange USB kind of connection in the picture I attached, so I went to Best Buy and got THAT cable (about 10 bucks) 'cuz it's purpose made for both the larger (android phone connection), and that smaller side...Best Buy guy n I never figured out what the small side of connection does..Oh well, hard drive works and it's awesome.

    First things first, this thing is tough as nails. I've accidentally dropped it, bumped it, and even had a splash incident – and it's shrugged them all off like a champ. No data casualties, no drama.

    Now, the 2TB storage? A game-changer for anyone drowning in files. All my photos, videos, and work projects find a cozy home here without slowing down my digital life. And when it comes to transferring stuff, the USB 3.0 is like the speed of light – saving me time and sanity.

    Setting it up is a breeze – no tech wizardry required. It plays nice with my Mac.

    But what I love most? It's small enough to fit in my pocket. Seriously, having my digital life in my pocket is a game-changer, especially when I'm on the move.

    I needed a new external hard drive after I accidently dropped my last one and lost everything. This has a sturdy cover to hopefully help protect it from any unfortunate falls. Holds a lot of storage for at least what I use it for.

    This very cool looking and affordable hard drive arrived on time in perfect condition brand new of course and included was a small cable that I couldn't really do anything with as I wanted to connect the computer directly to an older iMac USB interface.

    Talked to a computer techie kind of guy that worked for Best Buy and after a lot of back and forth thing he said do you have a USB to Android cell phone charger cord? He said try plugging the Android end into the larger part of the connection on the hard drive and plug that in the back of your iMac which I did. Magically, with this phone charger cord that I got at QT for two bucks, the hard drive was recognized by the iMac and I was able to transfer files and everything, weird huh?

    Anyway, the guy checked the store and they actually make a cable that plugs into the bottom of the hard drive, you can see the strange USB kind of connection in the picture I attached, so I went to Best Buy and got THAT cable (about 10 bucks) 'cuz it's purpose made for both the larger (android phone connection), and that smaller side...Best Buy guy n I never figured out what the small side of connection does..Oh well, hard drive works and it's awesome.

    De por si LaCie es garantía, este disco es una chulada… puedes trabajar con el disco externo en edición profesional con videos de 4K sin problema alguno y la velocidad es bastante buena. Seguramente compraré otro
