Reassuringly solid drive from the Seagate family
This reassuringly solid drive from the Seagate family is unusually thin and designed with flair, coming with angled “diamond cut” faces forming its bevelled sides rather than traditional perpendiculars.
Its aluminum case makes it slightly heavier than most, and comes in a choice of Moon Silver or Space Gray to match many Macs. Use either of its supplied cables to connect its USB–C port to a USB–A or C port on your Mac, and next to that on its case is an unobtrusive activity light.
In use LaCie’s Mobile Drive worked flawlessly in both file systems, but proved one of the slower disks on test, with average read and write rates of 99MB/s, and an innermost read speed down to as little as 62MB/s. It’s also available in a range of capacities, ranging from 1TB to 5TB.
If you’d like a bit more robustness short of a fully ruggedized drive, and its design appeals, LaCie’s Mobile Drive should be on your short list, particularly if you can find it on offer.
