2 TB version: http://lon.tv/udlv9 (affiliate link)
This drive is designed for professionals looking for a sturdier drive for transporting data. The same performance and capacity can be found in drives that cost half as much but they won’t survive drops and other accidents as well as this one might.
The interface is a USB-C connector but it comes with a USB-C to standard USB 3 cable in the box as well. It works off of the 3.1 Gen 1 standard which is fine for a spinning drive.

Nice video lon, i worked at a computer/audio service shop for a big company.. a lot of lacie drives came back being broke i hope they upped their game.
keep up the great video lon!
What’s the brand and model of the hard drive he keeps referring as “this one?”
Off? I’ve dropped a few over the years that were off that survived also. So in other words you’re paying for rubber on a drive that can survive the all too common problem of a car driving over it. Fantastic. Yup, I’ve seen it a thousand times. We need this.
Keep up the great Work
I really like the simplicity of this guy’s videos…… Gud job
Lon, 2 reasons I like your channel. You do full disclosure.You review of variety of different products. okay I’ll give you a third reason as well, you do a good job.
Lon I love your reviews they’re great! But next time please consider a louder audio level on your videos when you export them. Cheers!
I just picked up the 2tb version. Great review!
hi Lon love the channel
.
just a quick question in regards to the nvidia sheild tv do you know if you can add a 2TB hard drive to it ?
Now that the new MacBooks have been announced, are you getting one?
wish it had a built in usb-c cable.. hate lugging around a separate cable
do you know, if they are going to release one with an integrated cable like the rugged thunderbolt? I really really liked the integrated cable, because it was very sleek and you didn’t have to carry around another cable. Maybe you know more…
Ouch, that price. Seems like a nice product for professional use at the very least.
Great review! Love your vids cheers m8
does it work well with Macbooks 2011 . USB 3.0?
What?! I dunk ALL my new electronics in buckets of water to test them!
It Helped me a lot to make my choice. Thank you !
I’m looking into 4K video editing but unfortunately my laptop has only 256GB of storage. What sort of external drive would you suggest that could actually work? (Only HDD!)
They need to offer different colors for the sleeve.
Hi Lon. Can you review a new cheap laptop for us please? I’ve seen an ASUS EeeBook E202 (E202SA), with a Intel® Celeron® N3050, 11.6″ display, 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD. The only problem in my country, this version runs a Free DOS, so no Windows 10. And one more thing, I have an advice for the future reviews of laptops. Maybe you can add a new test to the list, and that’s emulation of android in apps like Remix OS Player to see if we can run Android inside Windows on cheap laptops with only 2GB of RAM. Thanks.
Awesome video as usual.
Great review. I’m curious to know if these drives use any encryption during their read/write process?
can this work on a chromebook
