Q: 1. I am looking for an External hard drive to back up videos from my iMac M1 (2021) and my iPhone 12 pro max. Will this Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive plug directly into my 2021 iMac M1 without buying an adapter? Also what kind of adaptor would I need to plug it into my iPhone 12 for backing up video files from the phone? TIA

A: Yes, the LaCie 5TB Rugged USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C External Hard Drive BH #LASTFR500080 connect to a 2021 M1 iMac with the included cables, no adapter is required. While it is possible to connect the drive to the iPhone, it is not very convenient since it requires multiple adapters and would also need to be connected to power. I would suggest instead transferring the content to your mac and then it will be backed up with the rest of the things you have when you make a backup of your iMac using time machine. Another option is getting more iCloud storage which would just run seamlessly in the background for backups and is far more convenient. If you do want to connect it, you would need these items. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1241761-REG/apple_mk0w2am_a_lightning_to_usb_3_0.html?sts=pi&pim=Y https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1429003-REG/rocstor_y10a207_a1_usb_male_to_usb_c.html?sts=pi&pim=Y The adapter has a lightning power input which you might need to use to connect the drive to the iPhone if it's unable to deliver enough power.

Q: 2. The dimensions on specifications of this is wrong? Looking to see how thick it is?

[4 TB] 1st I got a 1TB Toshiba Canvio drive a little more than a year ago. The appeal was the simplicity. I've had other drives and find it annoying to continue updating the software and syncing, etc. so I wanted a simple drive that acts like a regular folder, and that's what the Canvio model does well. Well, as I did more backups I needed more space so I got this 2 TB drive, which works just as well. 5

[0.63 lb] I have always been a Toshi fan and these are reliable as ever. Not fast but I only use these for archiving. I own 2 of these and have not let me down. 5

[Bus Powered] Works just as expected and lightweight for traveling 5

[4 TB] No Brainer! On Windows PC - just Plug in and Go! Use and recommend to others for regular daily backups on Windows PCs! I purchase external drives in Varying Colors as an In-House COLOR CODE indicator of the Data Type that is backed up on them. 5

[0.63 lb] I had another one of these that quit working when I went to Windows 11. This one is perfect and I was able to copy all my files easily 5

[Bus Powered] I love this red passport, I use it to back up my digital files while on the road during my photography assignments. The files transfer quickly and I have always been happy with the preformance and reliability. The bright color makes it easy to see in my gear bag where most of my equipment is black and gray and the compact, low profile design makes it easy to fit into a side pocket. This is a great external drive that has given me extra piece of mind for storing and backing up my digital work. 5

[Plastic] I buy these drives for customers to store files from their home movie tapes. They will work on both PC and MAC so no issues with compatibility. 5
