“The latest LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 leaps forward with the Thunderbolt 5 interface, impressing with transfer rates and performance when used as a video editing scratch disc.”
“The LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5's tough exterior and exceptional speed over a Thunderbolt 5 connection make it a compelling choice for well‑heeled creative pros on the go.”
The LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5 delivers unmatched sequential read speeds near 7,000 MB/s on Thunderbolt 5-equipped M4 Pro/Max Macs, making it ideal for high-end video production workflows. However, its performance drops significantly on older Thunderbolt 4 or USB-4 systems, and compatibility is severely limited on Windows and Thunderbolt 3 platforms.
