LaCie External Hard Drives
As the world adopts digitization that results in a higher demand for storing large amounts of data. External drives are the perfect solution. They work just like conventional hard disk devices, except in an external format. Whether you own a desktop or laptop, it's an essential computer accessory. These components allow you to expand your storage capacity without altering the inner working of your computer.
Lacie external drives can handle all of your storage and power supply needs. At Abt, we offer a range of products including mobile and solid-state models and models with hard docking stations.
These devices are data storage systems for computers and servers. However, they differ in how they store information. These devices use moving electromechanical parts to read and write data, while SSD's use the controller chip and flash device to store data. The controller chip is responsible for managing the data and communicating it with the computer. Each has its advantages. They're less expensive while still having the same capacity. However, the SSD is lighter and more portable. It delivers faster load times for applications and can withstand dropping or movement.
Expand Your Storage Capacity with LaCie External Hard Drives
On average, most laptops are equipped with a storage capacity of about 16 GB to 512 GB. To put this into context, 128 GB can store between 26 1080-quality movies. At Abt, Lacie external hard drives can store up to 18 TB of storage capacity. An 8 TB of storage capacity amounts to about 1,600 movies. Having an 8TB device is equivalent to about four dozen 128 GB SD cards. This means you can store everything you'll need, such as photos, videos, documents, playlists, applications and more. LaCie external hard storage devices can help with a variety of purposes, such as storing your old photos to safe-keep memories from your travels or transporting data such as raw footage for video editing or gaming applications.
Speed Up Your Computer's Performance
Running one of these models as your main unit will speed up the performance of your laptop's slower internal drives. For example, many of the LaCie hard drives are designed with high-speed 7200-RPM performance. In comparison, an average laptop may only have an internal 5,400 RPM. Faster speed allows you to complete tasks in your workflow in a fraction of the time. For example, you'll be able to edit multiple streams of 4K video, transfer an hour of raw footage in under a minute, run several Adobe apps at once and edit straight from your external drive.
Lacie external hard drives allow you to move data from point A to point B safely, effortlessly and quickly. These devices are drop-resistant from up to two meters, and many have a compact design that can conveniently fit into your backpack.
Some models also act as a docking station, allowing you to turn your laptop into a complete desktop setup while you travel. The dock has all of the functions while also providing many ports such as USB, HDMI, DVI, VGA ports, audio jacks, SD Card slots and even an Ethernet jack. These devices are compatible with Mac and Windows and include a USB 3.0 to USC-C cable designed for legacy laptops.
