The drives themselves are identical. If you have a computer with a USB port, of any generation, the drive with the USB 3.0 port will work well with it. The drive is fastest when it's plugged into a USB 3.0 port, but is backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 port. The drive with the Thunderbolt port will work only with a computer that also has a Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt is faster than USB, but is not yet in really wide use. Step one: Determine which ports your computer has. The LaCie drive itself is a gem, regardless of which port it uses. (P.S. Some drives have BOTH USB and Thunderbolt connectivity.) **Q: Is this a solid-state (flash storage) drive?** A: I searched Amazon for a LaCie solid state (SSD) external portable drive and was brought to this page. Most of the reviews don't mention SSD and it appears that all the reviews for the several different models of this LaCie external drive are combined together. So, 4 people said no, this is not about drives with SSD, and then one person said yes. Far more people are not going to have an SSD model because it's WAY more expensive. Most people will prefer to get one that is in the $150-$250 price range at most. The ones with SSD cost a lot more than that. And worth it too if you have the money because they are so fast, no comparison. If i scroll up from this Question section, this is what is at the top of the auction page but again these same questions and reviews will show up no matter which model you search for, with a different name at the top: LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 SSD 1TB Portable Hard Drive LAC9000602 **Q: can i have a new macbook pro. can i get either the thunderbolt usb-c or the usb-c?** A: A USB-C hard drive is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports on a Mac, so this will work. Also works of course with USB-C ports, and older USB 3.0 ports using supplied cable. **Q: How does usbc differ from the thunderbolt usb-c option? i see thunderbolt usbc is more expensive** A: USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 share the same physical connection type (USB-C). USB-C devices can be connected to Thunderbolt 3 ports, as TB3 supports USB-C devices. However, TB3 drives cannot be connected to USB-C ports on computer. So, this USB-C drive will connect to USB-C ports, Thunderbolt 3 ports, or using included cable, USB 3.0/2.0 ports. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***R on January 6, 2026* 映像データのバックアップには最近SSDは高価になり過ぎる、またSSDだけだと不安なので保険としてHDDを使用するがこれが小型でかつ最も信頼できると思います ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by U***Z on November 21, 2025* 安定のラシー!重宝してます ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***I on January 20, 2024* 特に気になるところはないです。なくてはならないものです。 ## Frequently Bought Together - LaCie Rugged Mini 2TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD - USB 3.0/ 2.0 Compatible, Drop Shock Dust Rain Resistant Shuttle Drive, For Mac And PC Computer (LAC9000298), orange - Case Compatible with LaCie Rugged Mini 1TB/ 2TB/ 4TB/ 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD, Storage Holder for Hard Drives for Mac and PC Computer & USB 3.0 2.0 Cable SD Cards (Orange) - CableCreation 2FT USB C to Micro B Cable,10Gbps Speed External Hard Drive Braided,USB 3.1 Type C to Micro B Work for iPhone 15/16,Seagate WD Westgate My Passport,MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/726189577-lacie-portable-hdd-hard-disk-2tb-rugged-mini-usb3-0](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/726189577-lacie-portable-hdd-hard-disk-2tb-rugged-mini-usb3-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
