According to our external hard drive HDD expert
The LaCie 4TB Mobile Drive USB-C Silver is a compact hard drive with a sleek design. This 2.5-inch HDD is only 9 centimeters wide and, despite its silver, aluminum frame, it weighs only 400 grams. Don't be misled by its small size, since its 4TB of storage space allows you to store up to 400,000 photos with a high resolution or 132 hours of 4K footage. With a 130MB/s transfer speed, you can upload 13 photos of 10MB per second. Thanks to the included software, you can also make automatic backups. The LaCie Mobile Drive is formatted for Mac by default, but is also compatible with Windows. Since the hard drive also has a USB-C connector, you can use it with a wide range of other devices, such as your MacBook or Chromebook.

The LaCie Mobile Drive is a great external hard drive. From now on I always have my important files at hand and enough space to store many more extra documents and data. And all that in a compact and sturdy housing.
Place for a lot of files I tested the 2 TB version, but there is also a 4 TB version that is a bit thicker. The 2 TB version is nice and thin and weighs nothing. This way it fits easily in my bag or jacket pocket. The metal housing feels sturdy, but apparently the hard drive is not dust, water or shock resistant, so you have to pay attention to that. Shouldn't be a problem as long as I'm careful with the drive.
Transfer files quickly The LaCie supports USB 3.1, which means that data is transferred to the disk from a laptop or PC at a maximum speed of about 100 MB/s. In that case, the port to which you connect the hard disk must also support 3.1, because otherwise the transfer of data will be slower. I initially had the drive connected to a 3.0 port, so I didn't immediately reach 100 MB/s. So pay attention to this when connecting the hard drive.
Create automatic backups Making a backup is always useful from time to time, because you never lose data that way. I sometimes forget to make a backup, but the hard drive has a handy feature for that: LaCie Toolkit. Here you can choose manual or automatic backups. I also set here when I want to make a backup. That way I'll never forget it and I think it's a handy addition to this hard drive.
