LaCie Porsche Design Mobile Type-C 2.5" STFD2000400 2 TB

The solution that all professionals come to

There is a joke among professional photographers that in the case of storing photo archives, every professional sooner or later comes to the conclusion that he will have to spend money on LaCie. Don't be surprised if you haven't heard of this brand, LaCie is Seagate's premium sub-brand for photographers, designers and other creatives.

Reliability combined with excellent design

The unspoken credo of the company is high reliability combined with excellent design. In the case of reliability, this lies in the durable aluminium housing that protects the drive from bumps and drops. As for appearance, this issue was dealt with by employees of the Porsche design bureau, who do not just eat their bread.

Designed for macOS but friendly with Windows

Externally, the disk seems to be designed to work in conjunction with Apple technology. And this is no accident, because initially the disk was developed precisely as a companion to the desktop iMac and MacBook, which is easily integrated into Apple's proprietary Time Machine application for data backup. The drive is also compatible with Windows, but the integration there is not as deep as with MacOS. As for the 2 TB drive itself, its average read and write speed is 120 MB / s. This is a very decent indicator, which is enough to, for example, edit video in FinalCut directly from the hard drive.

Free Adobe Creative Cloud subscription

The disk comes with a free three-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, which allows you to store photo archives in RAW and process them using Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC.
