LaCie d2 Professional 18TB USB-C

Drive for time machine backups Drive unmounts when device sleeps. Cannot leave connected to laptop. Keep getting messages for drive not ejected properly Otherwise works well

Good Points: Run a NAS on my network and use the LaCie as a backup for it and family Time Machine music and Photos. Interfaces well with Mac Mini and fast with its transfers and also useful for copying and transferring files over the network.

Improvement Points: The info on the product page is incorrect the drive does not work with a Thunderbolt2 connection, it is USB C only and would not connect to my 2015 Imacs Thunderbolt port with the Apple Adapter ( ordered extra). Drive does not power on without this othet than via stnd USB cable.

This LaCie external drive was easy to install, has close to unlimited memory, is robust, so what’s the problem? I won’t stay online on my MacBook Pro. Then it becomes invisible to the MacBook. And I have to reboot the MacBook Pro to see it again. Very annoying, time wasting and I would prefer to have a permanent solution. Anyone got a solution?

Good Points: Very quiet and fast for a hard drive Improvement Points: Big blue flashing light
