LaCie 1big Dock, 20TB, External Hard Drive Docking Station, for PC Mac iPad & iPhone (STHS20000800)

stopped working in few month dispite very minimal usage

I bought this hard disk not even cheap, it's not working after one month, the problem I did not do anything to the product just by it self not working. I lost all my file dont buy from them

Partiamo dell'estetica... è bello e solido. Si presenta così bene che può essere un oggetto anche di arredamento. È abbastanza silenzioso (non concordo con le recensioni in cui viene descritto come rumoroso). Il trasferimento dati in Raid 1 è sui 200 MB/s , considerato che parliamo di un sistema con 8 tb di spazio (4tb in raid 1) mi sembra al di sopra della norma. Unico neo il manuale, che dovrebbe essere migliorato. Il software di gestione invece è buono. Provato a contattare anche il supporto tecnico... OTTIMO! per qualsiasi problematica o domanda, nel periodo di garanzia, si può contare su un supporto affidabile! Straconsigliato.

Me llego rapidisimo, en 24h y muy bien empaquetado. Muy buen producto, rapido y fiable sobretodo si los comparo con mis anteriores HD de western digital de 5 tb que iban como una tortuga.

I won't consider purchasing from them in the future. The product began malfunctioning shortly after I started using it, and their customer service was unsatisfactory. It took an excessively long time to receive a refund. They also required me to cover shipping costs, which I've never had to do on Amazon before. Despite suggesting they would refund the shipping fee, they ultimately declined. Fortunately, Amazon intervened and refunded the shipping costs. Dealing with this company cost me both money and time due to their subpar product and customer service. Do not recommend

Good

This is now the third LaCie 2Big Docks that I've owned, so obviously I'm a fan. That said, they can be a bit frustrating. Specifically how often they'll fall asleep. Truthfully, this could be a Mac OS issue, I’m not entirely sure but I can be editing in Final Cut Pro, switch to my mail app for a second to see if there's any new mail, and by the time I return to Final Cut, the disc has fallen asleep and I have to wait upwards of a minute or two for it to wake up and allow me to start editing again. It's incredibly frustrating! I've taken to using a third party app to keep it awake by constantly writing a little bit of data to it every 30 seconds, which works, though I worry about the long-term effect it'll have on the drives. Also, while I usually don't bother with installing the software that drive manufacturers ship, you absolutely *need* to install LaCie's poorly named "Toolkit" app so you can not only adjust the LED brightness but more importantly reformat the drive to a Mac OS format in order to optimize speeds. That being said, considering the other options I've tried in the past this is among the best. I just wish it was *better*.
