The question I have is, is Lacie even going to make one? So reps at Lacie, I hope you’re reading this, but I NEED AT LEAST A 2 TB external hard drive and I’d like to use one you make with a Thunderbolt connection.

No, it’s still just the 1 TB.Īs an aside here, my video wonk, Jamaal Jackson keeps telling me that even with the “faster speeds” mentioned for Thunderbolt, the writing speed of a Mac is still only 720 something something so he keeps telling me there’s even a misnomer in the whole Thunderbolt concept. I was thinking the 1 TB rugged unit which sells for $229 was the 2 TB version. So we went to their site and well, there isn’t one. I was insisting that at Northpark I’d seen a 2 TB LaCie hard drive. Velcro on External Hard Drives means no inadvertent disconnections from the Mac and less to reconnect between moves.

He then wanted to show me the G series desktop drives. Me: “Would it run at Thunderbolt speed?” quizzically and pretty much knowing the answer was NO! Aldo: “No.” That doesn’t help. Which gets me back to Aldo today at the Henderson/Knox Apple Store in Dallas.Īldo first told me I could get a USB to Thunderbolt adapter. So getting another 1 TB external hard drive wasn’t the answer, plus, I wanted to move to the new and supposedly faster Thunderbolt connector so I wouldn’t be taking up two of my three USB ports on the Mac.

That’s 990 GBs of just those two items and I’ve been trying to open Aperture and it’s wanting to do an update to my photo database but it’s saying I need 6.1 GBs to do that, and I only have 3.8 GBs left on the drive. So on my present 1 TB WD, I have my primary Aperture 3.0 library that’s now 698 GBs strong, AND, I have my iTunes Media Folder which is 295 GBs strong. Yeah, they know they’re dealing with a serious user. It works sweetly and any time I’ve had to go into a Genius Bar I always get “why didn’t I think of that?!?” smiles. When I move about, I only have to unplug the USB 3.0 cable from the WD and from my USB port and slide my Mac into my travel bag. I have the $45 hard plastic shell to protect the veneer of the Mac and instead of moving about as I do constantly with my MBP, I have my WD affixed to the back of my monitor top with Velcro. Seriously.Īt present, I have a 1 TB WD external hard drive on the back of my Mac. There needs to be at least a 2 TB or 3 TB model.
