Does anyone know if the Ventura 13.3.1 bricked my NTFS Paragon software? My DESKTOP computer was running MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 i think.... And Notes werent syncing to my desktop so Apple encouraged me to do a backup of my computer and then update to the latest software. Ok I used time machine...

I have two LaCie 2Big disks, I just swapped the drives into a NAS and I'd like to use the 2x4TB WD RED for my photo archive in one of the two cases but I can't manage to make the LaCie RAID app to work (it has to install extensions that somehow I can't make to get installed), if I simply use...

Hi everyone! This is by far the strangest bug I've ever encountered in my 9 years of using a mac. And it's got me stumped. After all, it doesn't seem like a system crash, of any kind, should be able to affect an external drive so dramatically. Especially when there was nothing even being...

I've recently got around to running the Black Magic speed test app against my Lacie external drives and they seem far slower than expected, even for non-SSD HDDs. I have a 5TB mobile drive that seems to get around 72MB/s for reads & writes, and a 4TB version that's even worse at around 48MB/s...

Hi there, One careful LaCie 2 big 16TB here. The other day I received an error code 1 in my LaCie toolkit. I looked at the 2big drive and it was very hot and a electrical burning smell was noticeable. I immediately turned off and have attempted to contact LaCie support. At present they haven't...

Hello. I plan on hooking a Lacie drive (SSD Rugged 500gb) for my old late 2011 macbook pro.... I plan to use the the old thunderbolt 2 cable and installing OSX on the drive to achieve faster speeds than my internal hard drive. My question is, and it's more a Lacie Product question than...

Hello all! Hope you are all doing well. Firstly, I’m fairly clued up on Macs and the differences between Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner 5. My question is about backup and security. I’d like to backup my Mac and an external drive I’m using. I have a 2 TB LaCie drive and a 1 TB WD drive. If...

I have a very old LaCie "d2" 160gb external hard drive. It has a handful of family movies on it in the form of an .m4v files. Hundreds of files on the drive are fine! But there are 11 of these files that refuse to transfer from the external Lacie hard drive onto any other hard drive or desktop...

One of the drives failed on my LaCie 4big Quadra (4x HDD RAID5 array), I installed a new drive to replace the failed drive everything looked fine then it failed to rebuild, red and blue lights start flashing in an order that's not in the manual! Now it turns on and will not mount... Can I take...

Hey guys, Did anybody manage to connect LaCie 5Big ThunderBolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 - enabled mac? I do have MacBook Pro 13" with two thunderbolt 3 ports, to which I am trying to connect this 5Big device using Thunderbolt 2 - Thunderbolt 2 cable and Thunderbolt 2 - Thunderbolt 3 adapter. Seems...

Hi, i just bought the Lacie 12 TB Version stated in the title. I installed the Lacie Raid Software and started the process to turn the Harddrives into Raid 1 for mirroring. Sadly the Hard Drive does not show up in Finder I also get an Error every time that "the format is not recognized". The...

Hello, I recently purchased a Macbook Pro and formatted a new LaCie Rugged external hard drive with the computer. I then set up a time machine backup to use this external hard drive. After Time Machine finished backing up my computer, I opened the drive and saw two items. One was...

I bought today an external Lacie USB-C 1 TB mechanical drive for backups (not Time Machine), because it was a good deal and I needed an external backup. How should I format this drive? GUID partition scheme? Should I use the new AFS of the old HFS. I am using the up to date High Sierra OS and I...

Has anyone else had a problem with This? I upgraded to High Sierra and it wouldn’t recognise this drive until I switched to a usb cable. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Hi guys, So, I got a new Lacie d2 Quadra USB 3.0 and as I usually would do with Lacie hard drives, tried to immediately format it using Disk Utility. The problem is that it seems this time one should only use the Setup Assistant included in the disk. By formating, the setup assistant and ReadMe...

Hello folks! I have a question to all the MacBook Pro Touchbar and MacBook owners out there... I still have some confusions of what Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C can do and not do... For example: I own a Samsung T3 external SSD which works with USB 3.1 USB-C. I connect it with a USB-C to USB-B cable...

Ok, so I bought a new iMac 27" 5k this week and a LaCie 2Big 6TB RAID to go along with it. So far everything's good. However, I noticed that the LaCie HD disappears whenever I shut down the computer and turn it back on. The HD goes to sleep when I turn off the computer (blue light goes off) and...

Got my new MBP 15" and love it. Its easily the best computer I've ever owned (and thats saying something coming from a 2012 MBP retina which was no slouch). I'm a video editor and deal with moving large amounts of data every day. Today I benchmarked my external Lacie SSD (also from 2012) and It...

Hello, I'm sure there is something I am not doing right but not sure what exactly... I have no problem moving files (i.e. copying) from my Mac desktop to my LaCie external hard drive, but once they are on the external hard drive, I cannot move them around on the finder screen for the external...

This is probably no news for anyone at this point.. just wanted to share my frustration and I hope my experience will also be useful for other people who use RAID drives. I remembered Apple's screw-up with wi-fi on Yosemite, so I decided to wait for a while before upgrading to El Capitan...
