LaCie Desktop External Hard Drives

Expand your PC internal storage capacity by adding LaCi® desktop external hard drives to your setup. An external storage drive is suitable for creating a file back-up solution, or for offloading large file batches for transfer to another PC. LaCie external desktop and portable hard drives are available in a variety of capacities, provide versatile interfaces and offer various security solutions to meet your personal and business needs. Get storage as high as 60TB (6x10TB) from a multi-bay RAID setup.

Go Mobile With a Portable LaCie Rugged External Hard Drive

LaCie Rugged® portable drives pack a 2.5in. hard disk drive into a protective, compact enclosure that is easy to transport to share data between devices. These portable drives have a build that protects the internal workings against impact and moisture for durable outdoor use. Models with at least 500GB capacity are suitable for carrying your essential files. Low energy requirements allow many portable external hard drives to be bus-powered, meaning they draw power from the host using the data transfer cable. On the go or at home, use the LaCie Media app for iOS® and Android™ mobile devices to review critical documents or enjoy media files on a portable LaCie USB hard disk.

Maximize System Storage Capacity Using LaCie Desktop Drives

Select LaCie desktop external hard drives have multiple 3.5in. enterprise-class hard drives that let you store terabytes of software, games and ultra-high-resolution footage. RAID technology combines several hard drives to improve efficiency by rebuilding and recovering data after disk failure. Hot-swappable drive drawers reduce downtime since you can remove and replace hard drives with the enclosure still powered on. Some models come with built-in thermoregulated fans that prevent drive failure through overheating.

Thunderbolt Technology Offer Fast Data and Video Transfers

LaCie desktop external hard drives with Thunderbolt™ interfaces easily achieve up to 10Gbps speeds when connected to a compatible computer for copying large amounts of data fast. Multi-bay desktop drives using RAID configurations use Thunderbolt to boost disk performance for producing, editing and storing multimedia projects. Thunderbolt 3 on select PC and Mac® hard drives allows direct playback of 6K and super slow-motion source files at up to 40Gbps without transcoding. If your work requires highly available storage, Thunderbolt permits using many disk drives to create a massive mirrored or protected data storage pool. A LaCie Thunderbolt drive enables versatile connectivity from USB Type-C™, DisplayPort™ and Ethernet (with adapter) devices for ease of use. Some models of LaCie desktop external hard drives include backward-compatible USB interfaces for simplified connection to computers.

LaCie External Drives Enhance Data Security

Kensington® lock compatibility deters the potential theft of LaCie desktop external hard drives in public areas. A cable lock prevents accidental power flow and Thunderbolt cable disconnections. LaCie Private-Public software prevents unauthorized access to the desktop hard drive using AES 256-bit password encryption on volumes. Sync technology in many personal cloud solutions automatically synchronizes your computer and mobile devices for reliable file access from any allowed device. Configure the LaCie RAID Manager utility to send email alerts before potential issues escalate.
