It seems the metal case with a heavy satin finish and fine polish accent edges is more like something you’d find at Tiffany’s rather than electronics to store data. The photography of the product on the box didn’t really do it justice. Upon opening the box, I was a bit taken aback. Lacie replaced it and that drive still functions today. Only once did a drive fail me and, in actuality, it was the power supply not the storage drive itself. Lacie has been good to me for over a decade. I had not actually seen one of these drives in person-I purchased this drive out of necessity and brand recognition. I have multiple drives with the Porsche Design moniker but none quite like this.

But, in this scenario, this drive will live on my desk and a bit of beauty is very welcome. They are hardcore, metal and orange rubber encased hard drives fit for use on location. More times than not, I go for a Lacie Rugged drive (or pair) to take on a shoot.

The footage did not require anything extensive in the capacity or speed attributes but I do like nice design and I do like reliability.Ī good portion of all my drives are Lacie or G-Tech. My desk, a 72” Mayline drafting table and the main drawer, for big blueprints, is filled with hard drives from many films I’ve worked on.įrequently, I purchase even more and for a recent project, I needed a drive to work off. In film and TV, all of us filmmakers have lots of hard drives and other storage options.
