LaCie Thunderbolt Rugged Hard drive- is it worth it?? A Lacie hard drive review from Spencer Harris

hey everyone Spencer hairs here today we're talking hard drive [Music] okay so let's get into it shall we today we're gonna be talking about hard drives and video storage and specifically we're gonna be talking about the let's see Lacey let's see let's just call it let's see I think that's how they pronounce it so let's see let's see Thunderbolt this one is a two terabyte hard drive a external hard drive you know this thing is incredibly fast it's a Thunderbolt Drive so it's not USB three however it is USB three compatible but once you have Thunderbolt you're just never gonna use USB three again over the past few years I have been using Seagate WD all of these different USB 3 hard drives for my video storage and all of my projects it's great you know they're they're super reliable I haven't really had any problems but this is a game changer I've seen these you know they're you can't miss them they have the orange padding around them super cool looking but usually if anyone really knows what they're doing as far as video storage they've got one of these and I never really knew I was just like oh that's just another hard drive they just picked an orange one no not at all let's see is a Seagate company and they I mean this thing has just blown my mind and I can't speak more highly about it with video specifically you know we're dealing with a lot of file size you know big file sizes like I mean a project a vlog can be up to 30 40 50 gigs of footage that you need to store somewhere and then you don't really want to store it on your computer because it's just gonna take up space computer could eventually crash because it just doesn't have any more room so anyway these are really really gonna help it's just all-around amazing so let's get into some spec shall we first off right out of the gate out of the box I should say it comes with this very recognizable orange sleeve it's it's soft its cushy especially if you take these things in your backpack wherever you go like I do it's nice to know that if this thing is banging around your backpack it's not it's just not going to be effective once we get past the orange rubbery protective sleeve we're going to get to and I'll pull this apart from before you does it fully come apart and I'll get to that in just a second but this is an aluminum shell so the aluminum shell is not plastic you know like some of the other drives I have so you can really count on this being durable it is dust proof and water-resistant shockproof up to two meters or five feet that's awesome because I know if I drop this thing don't have to worry about it and we get to weight these things only weight 12 ounces you know it's it's enough to feel like it's substantial but not lightweight you know not so lightweight that it feels like a hard piece of plastic because it's not plastic they put a lot of thought into this specifically the designer designed by Neil Fulton you can see it right there the designer for this and they've got a lot of great minds at the company who design all their products to be very streamlined minimalist and functional and I think that is a great great great thing to have in a company in general a good rule of thumb is when you get this and you are setting it up format it to be exFAT e.x f80 that way it's gonna work on both Mac and Windows operating software if you just journal it for Mac OS or journal it for PC you know I've got a buddy of mine his business partner he works off Windows and we used to have a problem back in the day of not having these drives compatible for both so do yourself a favor for minute and exFAT and that way it'll work on both types of computers right okay and let's get into transfer rates shall we this specifically transfers at 240 megabytes per second which is just awesome the speed on this thing and then which operates is just incredible let's open up the computer and give you an example at exactly how fast this little booger is all right and here we are here's the desktop I've gone ahead and pre-loaded a folder up here it's got some footage on it from the last vlog and it has 36.3 gigs on it let's go ahead and plug in the let C Drive and plug in the USB three drive both should pop up here in just a moment I'm imagining the there we go the C Drive popped up a little quicker love the icon and then let's just wait on the USB 3 to show up and we will go get started alright there we go so let's go ahead and open up a little C Drive let's go ahead and open up the USB 3 Drive and I've gone ahead and made a folder here for the low C USB 3 and the Lissie Thunderbolt let's go ahead and pop this card over here into the Lissy Thunderbolt Drive and let's pop the same one over here to the C USB 3 alright and the race is on as you can see already both are estimating about 2 minutes but we will see if that's true [Music] all right there you go and the there there's proof right there it's gonna save you so much time I did forget to mention one thing and I think it's super super cool the cord for this is built-in so you don't ever have to worry about losing this Thunderbolt cord it's just it's awesome it's right there and then it also has this nice little I don't know what they call it crevice that you can just kind of wind it in there and then you're good to go so I mean like I said I can't speak more highly about this external hard drive it's just it saved me so much time it actually also right now I think they've partnered up with Adobe you get one free month of the Adobe Creative Suite which is just it's awesome there is a link for this specific hard drive in my description so make sure you check that out and if you pick one up you're gonna get a free software from Adobe for a win win right it's definitely definitely
