    5 out of 5 stars
    Transfer speeds above 250 MB/s. Very quiet operation. I bought 5!
    I purchased 5 of these hard drives - three 8TB size and two 10TB size. These hard drives are considerably faster than my other external hard drives that run usb 3.0. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend these LaCie drives. Upon testing each drive works perfectly as expected. My upload and download speeds are within 5 MB/s of each other which is awesome. I ran my tests using usb-c to usb-c on my MacBook Pro M1. See my screen capture showing the upload/download speeds. All five of my hard drives were sold with as "Style: d2 Professional USB-C 3.1" . Every one I received includes a usb-c to usb-c cable and usb-c to usb 3.1 cable. The rear of the hard drive has a usb-c input. Some reviews mentioned the loud sound from the hard drives. I noticed that all 5 are quieter than my WD and Seagate drives. This is likely because the LaCie enclosure is a very heavy metal versus the vented plastic in my older hard drives. The thicker metal blocks some sound. I can say that my two 10TB LaCie drives are slightly quieter than my 8TB LaCie drives - but both sizes I consider quiet for platter hard drives. SSD drives will be silent because they have no moving parts - so comparing these platter drives to SSD drives is unfair. I bought these on Amazon Prime Day 2022 for a considerable discount. If I can get the discount again, I would purchase these. At full price, I would purchase these if I needed the fast transfer speeds. But if the transfer speed wasn't important I would just buy the cheapest price-per-TB hard drive at the time from WD, Seagate or LaCie. LaCie drives do have a premium price tag and have a higher quality enclosure but use a Seagate hard drive inside.

      Bought this as a backup to remedy a storage issue I was having with another hard drive and so when I got it, I started dumping all the wedding footage I had from this year onto it. Yes--one of 'those' stories. Seemed to be fine at first. 7 weddings that filled just under 3TB of this 18TB drive. Then loaded some older 2022 projects on there to do some further editing on for maybe social or something.
      Loaded wedding #8, a 2 day wedding so lots of footage and that was fine. Then after the following weekend when I was loading wedding #9, I woke up to an error message about the drive.

      Ejected, unplugged, replugged. Same error. Plugged into a different computer. Same error. But then I plugged it back into my main computer and the error stopped popping up. But then I noticed that wedding #8 was pretty light on storage. I went to check and just about all the footage files showed 0 bytes. [Screenshot] gray highlighted clips: there is one file that you can see the thumbnail for that is 67.4mb. The rest are 0. [screenshot] blue highlighted clips: all the same files selected aside from the one that was 67.4mb to show 0 bytes. File structure was still intact, but the files had nothing and weren't able to be opened. Yikes

      Tried to copy over to other drives/folders- nothing. Finally called tech support for the drive. The first lady tried to help gather info to help me and is the only reason why tech got 2 stars instead of 1. The 2nd guy just said since I can see the files it wasn't the drive, it was the camera/footage and the files are corrupted. I asked him about the software and he gave that to me but to no avail. I'm online looking for alternatives (Disk Drill actually helped me recover all the files from all cameras, aside from my main camera so...almost perfect, but im skipping ahead).

      So I start checking in some of my other video folders for other projects as I try to troubleshoot and lo-and-behold: other folders are now having this issue. Not even just these new videos I've shot, but older projects I'd already delivered months ago, but I had moved to this drive as an alternate backup plan. Multi-cam shoots where whole camera folders that were once 100-200GB worth of data now showing around 30GB, with most files now showing a size of 0 bytes. Devastating.

      I've moved most of my files to other drives. All of my projects had been backed up to other drives anyway, aside from the one big wedding that hadn't had a chance to backup yet. Thankfully, Disk Drill was able to recover all the files from 3 of my 4 cameras, unfortunately, I'm still trying to salvage footage from that main camera.

      Side note: that blue light is annoyingly bright and when it's copying and continuously flashing like that it's horrible to look at. I put some painters tape over it. [screenshot]

      I have 2 LaCie d2's in the previous generation with lots of options (Firewire, USB 3, etc.) I loved the first one and quickly purchased a 2nd. I would have been happy with a 3rd but that model has been discontinued. So I bought a 8TB d2 Professional as it held the value/size sweet spot. The latest incarnation is very impressive. It is so quiet, has a smaller footprint, it is fast, everything is solid including the cables and the way they snugly insert into the USB slot. (My MacPro does not have Thunderbolt). In a few minutes I had it operational, partitioning and formatting it to suit my needs. I will probably purchase another. The only caveat is that the new models do not have an On/Off switch so they are always on. I can live with it.

      NOTE: It is a shame how there is a trend in which companies SPAM review cites with lies. THhis is a quality product, in my experience over years and new versions.

      The fan on my LaCie 1big Dock Thunderbolt 3 4TB HDD and Desktop Hub was not turning on and the top of the case seemed to be getting quite hot after one hour. I decided to return it for a replacement so I did a secure erase. The drive was left on for several hours during this process and after time, the fan eventually turned on. I missed it in the manual (page 22) but the fan is temperature controlled so It will not turn on when you first apply power. The unit needs to be on for a L_O_N_G_ time to generate heat before you will notice any fan activity. I cancelled my return and am quite happy with it. This is a very heavy and well built external HDD and has been working well with TimeMachine for Mac.

      ------- ------- ------- 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.

      This is now the third LaCie 2Big Docks that I've owned, so obviously I'm a fan. That said, they can be a bit frustrating. Specifically how often they'll fall asleep. Truthfully, this could be a Mac OS issue, I’m not entirely sure but I can be editing in Final Cut Pro, switch to my mail app for a second to see if there's any new mail, and by the time I return to Final Cut, the disc has fallen asleep and I have to wait upwards of a minute or two for it to wake up and allow me to start editing again. It's incredibly frustrating! I've taken to using a third party app to keep it awake by constantly writing a little bit of data to it every 30 seconds, which works, though I worry about the long-term effect it'll have on the drives.

      Also, while I usually don't bother with installing the software that drive manufacturers ship, you absolutely *need* to install LaCie's poorly named "Toolkit" app so you can not only adjust the LED brightness but more importantly reformat the drive to a Mac OS format in order to optimize speeds.

      That being said, considering the other options I've tried in the past this is among the best. I just wish it was *better*.

      Received this drive, plugged in the power and nothing, you need to plug in the data cable aswell as the power cable. Then check your USBC, mine was quite difficult to seat properly, actually clicks into the port, very little silver of the connector should be visible. For a while I thought the drive was dead until I tried the USB cable and realized the ubc wasn't seated all the way. So heads up on this issue, almost returned because of it. Otherwise great drive, very good build quality.

      É caro como qualquer capacidade de armazenamento que você tentar comprar. Mas vale quanto pesa. É rápido e funciona bem em Macs, não tem nem que formatar.

      Eu tinha um WD de 4TB antes, mas além de ter de formatar, depois de algum tempo começou a ficar ejetando aleatóriamente, pensei que era um problema do Mac OS, mas não era. De tanto ejetar, ficou danificado e tive que formatar e perdi todos os dados armazenados. Mesmo assim, não funcionou.

      Aí, depois de pesquisar muito, decidi comprar esse HD da LaCie e até aqui tem funcionado muito bem, muito rápido e estável.

      Se você trabalha com Macintosh, compre dessa marca. É plug&play, não precisa fazer nenhuma configuração e funciona muito bem.
