User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work as local storage for an Arlo Pro 3 video system
Answer:	I've had 2 of these and both came with 1 USB cord that has 3 connectors. 1 goes to the hard drive box and the other 2 plug into the computer
Question:	Can you delete backup software and use as aux drive
Answer:	RAID 1 is MIRROR mode, writes same data to both drives for backup so it is normal to get half capacity. Simply follow LaCie directions to switch back to RAID 0 mode, but this will ERASE ALL DATA so if you have anything on the drive, back it up to another drive before switching RAID modes and reformatting.
Question:	Is it compatible with a Samsung S5e tablet
Answer:	Not sure. However, here is the link ti LaCie America. They should be able to aid you. https://www.lacie.com/products/rugged/
Question:	Can it be partitioned for 2 separate backups
Answer:	The computer you attatch it to

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this gove 1tb of extra storage on my xbox or only 330gb
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What is the read write speed?p
Answer:	The specs on this drive are Rapid PCIe Gen3x4 Interface : read/write up to 3500/3000MB/s NVMe 1.3-Support , so if your Motherboard supports PCIe Express 3x4 (PCI 3.0) which is what this drive supports, PCIe 4.0 which is only now being made available on the newest AMD chipset motherboards and specific SSD drives using the new interface will benefit from the new PCIe 4.0 speeds. Long answer short: this drive should be compatible with a PCIe 4.0 supported motherboard, but rated speeds are PCIe 3.0 for this drive.
Question:	Is this hard drive able to be used for storing basic files and documents or is it meant only for gaming data
Answer:	No. Apple began soldering SSDs to the logic board beginning in 2016. Although, it would work in either an external Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C enclosure. Cost will be relevant to the type of enclosure used regarding its throughput capability.
Question:	Does it come with the cable to hook to a computer
Answer:	I can confirm, have two working in RAID 0 as a boot drive with a fresh install of Windows 10. No issues, followed some YouTube videos for the recommended setting to get RAID working. Since I'm using a motherboard with Intel RST, a driver was needed to identify the drives during Windows install but I was aware of this ahead of the time and had the drivers pre-loaded on my USB install media. Seamless and getting every bit of promised performance on CrystalDisk.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with ipad 11 pro
Answer:	1. Yes, you should be able to insert this SSD into an M.2 slot on your motherboard. 2. The SSD has about 237 GB usable space; after your operating system, page file, and hibernation file, about 210 GB. It has enough room for frequently used applications, but you should probably invest in a mechanical hard drive to use alongside.
Question:	Will this work with an iPad
Answer:	No. You need to purchase an adapter.
Question:	anyone experience disk not ejected properly issue? I use MacBook pro 2019, didn't reconfigure, if need to, pls show me how to reconfigure for mac
