User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with older macbook air models. i have an early 2014 mojave
Answer:	This LaCie Drive works best with select MacBook models 2015-current. The operating system required to use this drive must be OS X v10.5 or later. We hope this helps answer any compatibility questions you may have.
Question:	Can I use a usbc to usb
Answer:	A USB 3.0 cable is included with the drive, and that can be connected to a USB 2.0 port on the computer, but that will of course greatly reduce performance if you choose to do so.
Question:	can i have a new macbook pro. can i get either the thunderbolt usb-c or the usb-c
Answer:	A USB-C hard drive is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports on a Mac, so this will work. Also works of course with USB-C ports, and older USB 3.0 ports using supplied cable.
Question:	How does usbc differ from the thunderbolt usb-c option? i see thunderbolt usbc is more expensive
Answer:	USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 share the same physical connection type (USB-C). USB-C devices can be connected to Thunderbolt 3 ports, as TB3 supports USB-C devices. However, TB3 drives cannot be connected to USB-C ports on computer. So, this USB-C drive will connect to USB-C ports, Thunderbolt 3 ports, or using included cable, USB 3.0/2.0 ports.
Question:	Can I take the hard drive out and use it as a regular desktop hard drive
Answer:	I’ve done this with about 30+ 2tb, 4tb, and 8tb drives over the years- converting an external to an internal- and they are all still running fine to this day. Usually $30-40 cheaper than the internal and you get a free usb cable to boot. Just make sure you don’t hurt your hands while doing it. Twisting a flathead screw driver in the seams seemed like the way to go if I recall. They don’t make the cases easy to open. For someone below: Don’t use these for RAID. NAS rated drives are different because they handle higher heat, able to run 24/7 with cross checks, etc. read more about what makes the iron version a NAS approved drive compared to the standard barracuda.
Question:	will it work with a mac for time machine
Answer:	Just reformatted the external hard drive using Disk Utility. Works for Mac :) Im not a tech savvy person, so I found this website to be useful when selecting what option to select when erasing the hard drive. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4276140?start=0&tstart=0I chose to use Journaled as I am using this for a Time Machine back up, like Matthew Chellew suggests in the first answer.
Question:	Does it work well with an Xbox One
Answer:	Like a charm, exactly what I purchased it for. Plug into any of the three ports (all 3 of the original XBox One ports are 3.0) and give it a minute. The XBox will recognize it and you have to choose for storage or media. Choose storage for games and you are up and running. Do be aware that this HDD does require its own power supply. I was transferring games within 5 minutes. FWIW within half an hour there was a power outage in the middle of a transfer and the external drive, the XBox One and the data are were ok when power came back on. If a data transfer is interrupted for any reason simply delete the failed portion on the destination drive and start the process over.
Question:	What is the diference between Seagate 5TB usb 3 model numbers STEB5000100, STBV5000100 and STDT
Answer:	The STBV is the older "Expansion" model with a lightly textured plastic case and slightly sloped front bezel. Sold only in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with a 1-year, 2-year, or 3-year warranty, respectively.The STEB is the replacement "Expansion" model for the above with a more interesting texture and feet on one edge to stand vertically. It is sold in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with a 1-year, 2-year, or 3-year warranty, respectively.The STDT is the "Backup Plus" model that looks like the STBV except with no sloped front and comes with backup software (on the disk) for both Windows and Mac OS, and includes 200GB of cloud storage with OneDrive for 2 years. It is sold in North America only with a 2-year warranty.The STDT comes in capacities of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8TB. The STEB and STBV go up to 5TB.They all use the same SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface. I suspect the internal drives have small differences and firmware, but I can find no information about that.

User questions & answers

Question:	I received the hard drive today. couldn't use for a system backup because it was not ntsf. should i reformat the disk to ntsf
Answer:	If you are only using this for a windows PC i would recommend reformatting to ntsf. If you want the drive readable by a PC and mac try ExFat fomat. I use mine on a mac and i fomatted it to mac OS journalled. I would not recommend fat32 format under any circumstances. For a nice review check out the link below, good luck... https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/computers/buying-guide/choosing-the-right-format-for-your-external-hard-drive
Question:	Can this be formatted for Mac and Windows at the same time
Answer:	You can format it in ExFAT then it will work for both Max and Windows platforms. The downside is some of the old OS won't work for ExFAT format.
Question:	Does anyone use this external HD for automatic daily/weekly backups, or does it work only with manual transfers
Answer:	I use this on a Mac with Time Machine backup and it works great. Very fast data transfer with USB, runs very quietly. The silver color also matches the apple imac.
Question:	What is this hardrive's speed for Thunderbolt
Answer:	I can't find the transfer speed listed anywhere, even in LaCie spec sheet - https://www.lacie.com/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/lacie-mobile-drive-DS1997-2-1812US-en_US.pdf Based on previous experience with LaCie portable HDD units, I would guess 130-140MB/s range. This is a 2.5" HDD and whether connecting to a USB-C, USB 3.0, or Thunderbolt 3 port, speeds will be the SAME. This is not an actual Thunderbolt 3 port on the drive, it is USB-C which is "compatible" with Thunderbolt 3. And also, for a basic drive like this, the hard drive itself is the limiting speed factor. Connecting to Thunderbolt will not increase performance, basic physics. The drive can only deliver so much data per second, period. If speed is a big concern, then you need to look at an SSD portabl drive with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3, then you will see massive speed improvements. SSD will cost a lot more of course.

User questions & answers

Question:	how does data encryption work
Answer:	Encryption is basically encoding information in a way that only the person or computer with the key can decode it. Algorithm's provides the directions and gives a certain range of possible combinations to create the encoded message. A key is a sequence of digital bits that works with an algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the message. basically if you have something on the external hard drive that you don't want others to see if it was stolen or for any other reason encryption keeps them out. you need the key to be able to look at the items / files on the drive.
Question:	Will this drive work with the Xbox one? My main concern is that this drive is unformatted, and most compatible are shown as NTFS. I would think that since the Xbox automatically re-formats the drive during initial installation unformatted, NTFS and FAT32 would all work, is this correct as well
Answer:	Yes. I've been using the 1TB version on my Xbox One for at least six months now with no issues. I had the Xbox format it, just in case, before use. The downside of USB-powered drives is that its max RPM is 5400, so the install and load times are slower than the on-board drive. If you want faster install and load times of your files/games, you'd have to get a 7200RPM driver, however those need external power (In other words, they have a wall wart which could be unsightly or you might not have an outlet available nearby.)
Question:	Does it show up like a drive with a letter when you plug it in? Like the old external drives used to
Answer:	Your operating system will auto assign a drive letter to any storage device detected. So, in Windows - Yes, ALL Windows versions will auto assign a drive letter. Once connected you have the option to assign a drive letter to it for all future connections (like P: for portable) rather than take the default.
Question:	Is the software with this device compatible with Mac's Time Machine
Answer:	You will need to reformat the drive to HTFS+ which is easily done with disc utility. Time Machine can not back up to FAT32. Macs come with all the software needed already installed and it's easy. There's no need to use 3rd party software.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the drive encrypted to the enclosure? In other words, could I remove a drive and still read in a different enclosure
Answer:	If running in default RAID 0 mode, all data is spread/shared across BOTH drives, so putting ONE of the drives in another computer would not work at all - they must stay as a pair and even then since this unit uses a hardware RAID controller, doubtful the paired drives would work anywhere else. However, if you run the 2big in RAID 1 mode, which is MIRROR mode, that writes SAME data to both drives as full-time backup. In that case, EITHER of the single drives should be able to be moved to another PC and work fine as a regular single drive.
Question:	Is there a way to replicate this to an identical model
Answer:	Good day to you John, Is there a way to replicate this to an identical model? In what way are you asking the question? Do you mean (2) LaCie 2big Dock RAID 8TB External Hard Drives, which would be 16TB, but because you are mirroring 1 8TB the other is a copy??? OR ??? I don't understand the " identical model? " Hope maybe part of do you mean, might be what your thinking?
Question:	Anyone using this w/ a 2018 macbook pro or air? have you left this connected when sleeping the laptop, does the drive stay mounted or does it dc
Answer:	I am using it with a MacBook Pro 2018 i9, it stays mounted.
Question:	Just got mine and set everything up just fine. it's super loud though. anyone's else's drive loud? i don't want to move data if that's abnormal
Answer:	They have about the tone of a small space heater, one of those $25 Ceramic jobs you get at the big box hardware stores. It's not a big deal and you'll get used to it, just be aware so you're not taken aback when you plug it in for the first time. I'm not sure if there is a better way for cooling because I am new to RAID enclosures, but for almost $900 I just found it a bit off putting.

User questions & answers

Question:	The description says this comes with an adapter, but it doesn't come up on any of the reviews. can use this drive with a usb
Answer:	This unit has USB and Thunderbolt. There are adapters available to use the older USB devices with USB C.
Question:	Good for mp3 storage
Answer:	You may need a specific Thunderbolt driver for Ubuntu to access this drive. I would go the Ubuntu website to see if this exists. Normally, I access Ubuntu from a virtual machine so I avoid this kind of problem.
Question:	What's the difference with other same products
Answer:	It comes with a short Thunderbolt cable and a USB cable, you don't need to buy any.
Question:	Will it work with an iPad mini
Answer:	The drive itself is only 5,400 RPM. However, if your only option is Thunderbolt or USB 2.0 (2011 iMac for instance) then this drive will still offer higher performance over a 7,200 RPM external USB 2.0 hard drive. USB 2.0 is limited to about 60MB/s (480Mbit/s), and this drive achieves around 105MB/s - 109MB/s according to http://reviews.cnet.com/external-hard-drives/buffalo-ministation-thunderbolt-1tb/4505-3190_7-35338125.html. Having said that, I have two of these. I have one on a 2013 iMac (i7 & 16GB Ram) and another on a 2011 iMac (i7 & 16GB Ram). I use them as external drives for my Windows 8 virtual machines. They are very speedy, and I haven't had any performance issues as of yet. You're correct however, you will never see 10,000GBit/s as they imply.

User questions & answers

Answer:	Thanks for your asking! Yes, both slots of the card reader could be use simultaneously.Please rest assured that we provide a lifetime warranty and you could always contact us here: [email protected] if you have any problems with it. :)
Question:	How many drives are in the 8tb raid lacie shuttle

Question:	What cable type/model is the external power supply
Answer:	To your question, the card reader could both read and write.Please rest assured that we provide a lifetime warranty and you could always contact us here: [email protected] if you have any problems with it. :)
Question:	This has a usb 3.0 port, not a thunderbolt port, is this correct? in other words you either get one or the other, not a combination of both. yes
Answer:	A UHS Class 3 would be better (this is a class 1, which is notated with the number 1 inside of the 'U' shape). This card is usable, but some of the higher framerates and resolutions the GoPro7 is capable of would not write to this card fast enough.
