LaCie external USB-C drive I use as my secondary backup has just died. Poor quality crap.

So. I use a 4Tb Thunderbolt drive with Time Capsule (always connected when I’m using my laptop), and create a weekly drive image to this second drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. So it’s had minimal use since I bought the laptop in 2024. Say 100 uses.

Except this is a replacement for the original which failed inside six months. So two drives from LaCie fail, both under 2 years old, both minimal usage.

No more LaCie for me then.

This is a disk image of a La Cie disk that came with external hard drives they sold. The imaging of the disk produced one error with one of the Read Me files, but they appear to open.
