Bought this drive to use exclusively as an external audio drive for Pro Tools. I have a small studio and wanted a silent drive as often recording in the same room as the computer. IT's perfect! As it's SSD there's no moving parts, I connect it up to a late 2012 mac mini with thunderbolt. Transfer speeds are outta this world. Had no problem recording, tracking or mixing from this little drive. It's only 120GB but I've never had a project larger than this. Once each project is finished I back it up and reformat the drive for the next one.
I spent hours looking online trying to find out if a ssd drive was ok to use as an external audio drive, happy to say, it is!

I bought this drive for use with a macbook pro. I have loaded the Mavericks operating system on it so I can experiment with different software without messing up the drive on my macbook. The performance is amazing and I notice no difference between this drive and using an internal drive. I'm not sure of the benefits of the thunderbolt vs USB 3.0 connections. I've seen some performance test reviews where the speed difference between the two has been negligible. I myself can't tell the difference. The drive itself looks like it can withstand a few knocks, not that I am going to try chucking it out the window to see if it still works. You can take off the orange rubber if it is a bit OTT for you but personally it doesn't bother me. In use the drive gets warm, but that is only to be expected when I think of what I am doing with it. All in all I would definitely recommend buying it.

The speed is amazing and I'm using it as the boot drive rather than the internal drive in my Mac.

This is a very good product, quite small and fast. The thing I didn't like was that the SSD inside is a SanDisk U110 which is a cheap and slow SSD compared to others. Once arrived I opened it and changed the U110 with a Samsung 840 EVO 750GB. Works ultra fast with thunderbolt now and it is easy to carry. Great product though.

I have several LaCie thunderbolt hard drives and haven't had a problem with any of them.
As regards this model and the other rugged drives, while the orange rubber bumper might not be to everyone's taste, it does protect the disc if it is accidentally dropped or cushions it in a laptop bag, and it can be easily removed or put back on as required.
The disc itself, being solid state, is silent in operation and works quickly either via USB3 or thunderbolt - both cables are included in the box! It is easy to set up, either for windows, Mac or both.
I use mine to store Steam games. I would like a bigger version, it's true, but I can still get a lot of big games on this.

Very pleased with this.
It's fast (using it to host my Origin and Steam games) and robust. Even comes with both USB3 and thunderbolt cables.
Couldn't find a drive offering better value. It can even be popped open, in the future, and have a bigger SSD fitted.

I was able to perform editing of 1080p video at 60fps directly over the thunderbolt connection.

They could make this even better by making the case of the drive visually more appealing when you take the orange bumper off - you don't always need the rugged skin and it's smaller without.

No real criticism, the drive performs brilliantly.
