Lacie rugged thunderbolt usb 3 0 1tb review.
The lacie rugged usb 3 0 thunderbolt 2tb is a relatively speedy portable hard drive that takes full advantage of both the thunderbolt and usb 3 0 interface.
For optimal performance the drive must be connected to a usb 3 0 host port.
Calculations are based on average write time.
That it s very fast and can be used via thunderbolt 3 or usb doesn t hurt either.
In our testing results were slightly higher than what lacie quoted for this product delivering read speeds of 112 2mb s while write activity hit 113 8mb s in a thunderbolt mac environment.

Again this comes down to the fact that the maximum speed of a mechanical hard drive doesn t even come close to saturating a usb 3 connection so paying for usb 3 1 hardware would have no benefit at all but.
For example this lacie rugged thunderbolt usb c drive we are looking at today is usb c enabled but the usb c port is simply using the usb 3 standard and not the newer usb3 1 standard.
Transfer rates vary slightly from one drive to another.
