Thankfully, this Apple Store version includes a data recovery warranty from Seagate, and they successfully recovered my data. But who wants to deal with that?

Copied my data to it using about half the capacity (took about 6 hours) & it kept disconnecting from my iMac & bleeping every few seconds. I would NOT recommend this drive, I would give it zero stars if I could & I shall be returning mine for a refund.

      Can't encrypt or password protect without doing command-line stuff

      Bought this as my existing LaCie was about full. Got home, plugged it in, and everything seemed to work great. Except that I couldn't encrypt and password pro Bought this as my existing LaCie was about full. Got home, plugged it in, and everything seemed to work great. Except that I couldn't encrypt and password protect it like my old model. After some slugging around online I came across this: "The problem was that my new drive (La Cie Rugged Thunderbolt from the Apple Store) came with a master boot record partition map and not GUID. If a drive is not GUID, neither the partition button nor the encryption settings are available in the graphical Disk Utility, which is why we're forced to use the command-line diskutil to partition first." Are you kidding me? If you say it will work with Apple, make it work with Apple without having to go through that kind of baloney. Mine's on its way back to the store.

      Have 4 of them and they are great

      I have brought 4 of these for work handling heavy video editing and they all have been great so far. Seem to handle everything we've ever thrown at them.

      Durable and Convenient

      Have had my 1TB for about six years now - still working like a champ. Just used it to transfer files and apps after buying a new MacBook. No issues. I orig Have had my 1TB for about six years now - still working like a champ. Just used it to transfer files and apps after buying a new MacBook. No issues. I originally bought it because that's what the Genius Bar was using when I brought my Mac in for some help. The only reason I'd replace it is if I needed to upgrade to more storage. And I'd definitely buy a LaCie again.
