    5.0 out of 5 stars Good hard drive!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020

    Good hard drive for backups. I formatted it to 4 different drives, one is a bootable backup for my computer operating systems. Any new MacOS downloads are tried there before I update the Mac. I use a clone app to create bootable clone on this drive, which seems to work fairly fast.

    As others have said the LED I’d very bright, but it will turn off once you stop using the drive. I actually like watching it flash since I know when the drive is not being accessed. The drive is very quite and makes no real noise that I can hear. I haven’t detected any heat while it’s working.

    Note, I only have this connected to my Mac when I’m backing up. So I can’t say how this would work if this is connected all the time.

    I’ve been using LaCie drives for years. I had bought a G Drive to use as a backup for my new laptop, and had issues right out of the box (see my profile for my review on it). Turned right back to my old trusty friend LaCie and this one worked perfectly. About 10 years of using LaCie drives both the rugged and desktop ones and they never have failed me. Their customer support is awesome too, on an old drive I’d busted the thunderbolt port and they sent me a new drive even tho it was slightly out of warranty. Highly recommend buying this drive and anything from LaCie!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Drive - But Not Easy To Setup
    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    ------- ------- ------- Feb 20, 2022 Update ------- ------- -------
    The 2 drives that I installed on Sep 13, 2020 will not power on.
    I swapped the power supplies with the power supply from the 3rd drive - but the drives will not power on.

    Both drives spun up and can be read after removing from the chassis and plugging them into a docking station.
    I 'm fairly certain that the power switch/module failed, because swapping the power supply didn't work.
    The switch is wired to a small board that is in the top of the chassis. The wiring leads to the bottom of the chassis, where the power supply plugs in.

    I was lucky with this one - both drives are part of a windows storage set and the data is still readable.

    The drives are non-shingled, 7200 RPM Barracuda Pro drives - which is what I wanted.
    I'm disappointed that the power switch/module failed on 2 drives and I'm waiting for the 3rd drive to fail.
    Will see what Seagate (LaCie's parent company) does - the drives are 17 months into a 60 month warranty.

    I used about 1.5 TB of the 4 TB capacity. Will order a 2 TB SSD and use these as backup drives.

    ------- ------- ------- Sep 13, 2020 -- Original Review ------- ------- -------

    My important files are backed up to multiple SSD drives. I decided that it might be easier to consolidate the backups to a larger mechanical drive, so I looked for an external mechanical drive that was durable and had decent performance.

    I read the reviews for LaCie and Glyph - it was obvious that Mac Users were having problems, but there were also some problems for Windows users. The problems seemed worse for the 8 & 10 TB drives.

    I ordered two 4 TB LaCie d2 Professional drives. The drives are very quiet and don't run hot.

    1. After registering one drive, the LaCie website kept looping back to a popup window about Seagate.
    It was impossible to add the 2nd drive until the next day. Maybe a new user account can only register one device when the account is created?

    2. I decided that using Windows utilities was easier vs. trying to use either product download. The User Guides are weak and website articles are old.

    --- Lacie_Desktop_Manager_for_Windows installed correctly, but it couldn't identify any drives, including the LaCie drives.
    --- LaCieToolkit installed correctly - but didn't do much other than identify both drives. You can mirror a system's boot drive to a LaCie drive, but can't mirror a LaCie drive to another LaCie drive. Same thing applies for Backup & Restore.

    2. Both LaCie drives worked out of the box for Windows 10 Pro as standalone drives, but not as Disk Management mirrored volumes.
    --- The drives were already partitioned into an EFI volume and a larger unallocated volume.
    --- After reformatting from FAT32 to NTFS, the EFI volumes remained. Used diskpart from the CMD window to delete the EFI volumes.
    --- Both drives are identical capacities, but I could not add mirrors from Disk Management. The drives would not convert from Basic disk to Dynamic Disk.

    2. I ended up using Windows Storage Spaces with 2 way mirrors. The 2 drives are seen as a single, 4 TB drives.

    ------- ------- ------- Sep 15, 2020 ------- ------- -------
    After a couple of days, I noticed other problems - I had upgraded Windows 10 Pro with the May 2020 update. It required a BIOS update, which I applied on Sep 23.
    There were other driver updates (network & graphics) but none for firmware, storage or USB.

    A. Sep 15 problem: The laptop reboots after sleeping for about 2 hours.
    Sep 23 update: The laptop reboots stopped after a BIOS upgrade.
    ---- The reboots were not related to the LaCie drives which were connected to a docking station.
    ---- The reboots were related to external SSD drives that were connected to the USB 3.0 and USB-C ports.

    B. Sep 15 problem: There's a Windows event about a USB device that's draining power from the system.
    ---- It could be the drives or the USB docking station, but it's a strange message because the devices have
    their own power supplies. But it's possible that's how the Windows interpreted the problem.
    Sep 23 update: The May 2020 update removed all the power plans.
    ---- Added a new Windows power plan to handle sleep & hibernate better.
    ---- I allowed the laptop to hibernate after about 15 minutes of sleep time.
    ---- Then went into properties for the Network adapters and set them so they would not sleep.
    This helps when I want the laptop to come out of hibernate.

    C. Sep 15 problem: Windows Event messages about the drives having the same disk identifiers.
    There's a reference KB 2983588 about MPIO, which is not something that I would enable on a laptop.
    --- Windows Storage Space displays the same serial number for the drives in the storage pool.
    It may be a virtual S/N because it's not the physical drive's serial number.
    Sep 23 update: The Disk Identifier message goes back about 4 or 5 years for Windows.
    ---- It's related to USB 3.0 and a newer protocol.
    The older USB standards used a Bulk-Only Transport (BOT) protocol to transfer data between devices.
    ---- When USB 3.0 was introduced, the BOT protocol was retained but a newer USB Attached SCSI protocol
    (UASP) was defined in the spec which uses the SCSI command set and allows for faster,
    multi-threaded parallel transfers with command queuing.]
    ---- The Windows Storage Space serial number is related to the UASP issue..

    ------- ------- ------- Sep 16, 2020 -- Added a 3rd drive for Acronis Backup ------- ------- -------
    I did not install any of the LaCie/Seagate utilities.
    Used DiskPart to delete the EFI partition, then reformatted the entire drive to NTFS.
    Attached to USB-C. No problems like what was observed originally.

    ------ September 23, 2020 Update --------
    All 3 LaCie drives are working well, without any problems.

    I’ve used LaCie products since the 90’s. TheD2 has a heavy aluminum enclosure and is fast and quiet. Registration is easy too.

    I used this as a backup drive and it worked well for about 6 months, then would no longer mount on either a Mac or a PC. This was always ejected properly and was never dropped or moved once it was set. It just died. $184 down the drain. . .

    Beautiful aesthetic. Quite. Just that damn blue light! I had to make a vinyl wrap piece on the Cricut to cover it up.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Secure backup.

    Speedy and enough capacity. Fairly small desktop footprint. My only concern is the lack of an on/off switch. I use the drive for backups (but not time machine) and do not leave my backup drives booted/running continuously. After doing a backup, I unmount the drive, and then pull the power plug to have it completely disconnected from the mains. Not the smoothest solution but workable.

    Easy to set up and use for Time Machine backups from a Mac. Second d2 I’ve bought, the first is nearly five years old and still running just fine.

    La verdad es un producto un poco caro para el estándar, pero este disco duro sale completamente de lo común.
    Tiene un diseño re bonito, la calidad es de 10, y la estabilidad de transferencia de archivos, ni se diga.
    Recomendado ampliamente.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ease of Use

    Recently purchased a LaCie d2 professional external drive from Amazon. This drive comes in several compacities from 4GB up to 10 GB. It has a low slim profile and smaller footprint in comparison to previous models. The drive is easy to set up, you will need to download the LaCie Toolkit to format the drive. It comes
    only with the USB-C cable. I am using third party software program which offers more options for backups and scheduling.
    Over all fast, easy to use and setup and tons of storage.

    3.0 out of 5 stars The drive that spoils Neil Poulton's name
    Reviewed in Singapore on August 27, 2022

    I have a couple of LaCie drives before but this has to be the worst in workmanship - if there's any at all.

    It works fine but paying a premium for a Neil Pulton design only to get this quality is disappointing.

    Photos as proof. Go figure if you want to pay for sucky workmanship.
