### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Drive!
*by P***R on December 20, 2014*

I need a backup drive for Time Machine on my MAC. I have been watching this drive for quite a while and waiting for the price to come down. One day my Passport Drive fell off my lap and that was the end of it. I bought a $53 Toshiba 500GB to replace it which just served as an interim drive because I immediately ordered the LaCie. I'm not going to try to drop it off my lap but I am confident that if it does get dropped it will still function unlike moving head drives. It's solid, it's fast, it's portable. My only minor worry is the permanently attached thunderbolt cable which if it goes bad I would have to disassemble the drive to replace it. Probably not going to happen anyway so kudos and 5 stars for this SSD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good drive
*by C***B on April 4, 2015*

Very good speed, a little pricier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saved my bacon!
*by M***D on March 22, 2015*

I have a late 2011 17" MacBook Pro. My internal drive is (was) a 3Gbps OWC SSD (for whatever reason, although 6Gbps *should* work in my Mac, it wouldn't -- I kept on getting hard crashes of the computer.I bought this to clone my computer nightly using a program called Super Duper.Yesterday, my internal SSD just died. It wasn't seen in Disk Utility. You couldn't boot from it. I even took it out and put it in a USB3-SATA enclosure and it didn't show up there.While I'm waiting for the new one to arrive, though, this thing has worked flawlessly. I cannot discern any difference in performance between it and my internal SSD. Recovering from the crash was as simple as powering up with the option key pressed down, and selecting the Lacie as my boot drive. After that, 99.9% of everything was identical, since it was a cloned copy of the dead SSD (I had to re-authorize a few applications to open, and re-enter a few passwords -- that was it). I'm very pleased.
