AnswerThis one won’t work with the iPad Pro as it’s not supported (I have it and the iPad Pro). It says “Cannot read the connected storage media” formatted as APFS.

What is the drive spec......read/write
- Asked by Jim D from Burbank
- 13-Feb-2019
- Flag as inappropriate What is the drive spec......read/write
Answer~140MBytes/s read & write.
(I have the 5TB space grey one, and tested with Blackmagic Speed Test; other sizes will be the same, BTW.)
All USB 3 single drive portable (non-SSD) spinning HDD's, using either USB-A or USB-C, at 5Gbit or 10Gbit connections will feature similar maximum speeds when empty. Towards the end, as they fill to around 70-80% data stored on them, they typically lose some speed, so when only ~20% left they'll normally slow a bit.
If you need higher speeds in this form factor (say ~500MBytes read/writes) you'll need a portable SSD of some sort, handily including the SSD versions of this LaCie model, though at significantly higher cost, of course.
Whichever type you get; all these early-2019 LaCie 'Mobile Drive' models look nice, though!- Answered by James S
