LaCie d2 Professional 16TB USB-C 3.2

Solidly built, metal chassis inspires confidence. Quiet in operation. Slightly annoying feature is that when on standby you get blue disco light with no option to disable it. Otherwise a great drive and its pair he's lasted more than three years so far.

Seems great, I like it so far. It hasn't melted, run away or refused any data complaining it was tired or had a headache. It has been storing my data correctly and allowing me to access to it whenever I ask without sarcasm or backchat. But after a couple of months I'm not sure what else I can say about an external hard drive. The proof will be (as with most tech like this) in the long term pudding!

I do Video and Photo editing. I need a lot of storage for my raw files that is fast. This drive fits the bill perfectly. It was very fast to format the drive to NTFS and add bit locker. I have loaded on images and videos and had no issues what so ever. It is also almost silent which is great.

Its early days yet but I have been really impressed so far. Time will be the real test with this however no reason to suspect it won't do the job!

PS to my review earlier this week, after a month the transformer has started to make a quiet cheeping noise like baby birds, I had this before with a Seagate (owner of Lacie) HD. No exchange was given.
