LaCie mobile drive data recovery

The LaCie mobile drive is made of an aluminum casing, which helps reduce the heat of the hard drive. This is especially important if the hard drive has bad sectors or other physical issues reading the data. The LaCie mobile drive comes in 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, 4TB, or 5TB capacities. It is available in two variations: regular and secure, which offers data encryption. Recovering data from an encrypted drive is more challenging compared to a regular drive. It is made from solid materials, so it is very rare for the drive’s port to be damaged during use. If you are wondering what is inside the Lacie mobile drive, we will post a picture of it here soon.

These are the related products in that series for which we offer data recovery services, but not limited to:

  • Mobile
  • Mobile secure
  • Mobile SSD secure

LaCie Rugged data recovery

The Rugged series is what has made LaCie famous. It offers a rugged bumper that provides protection from water and accidental drops. Even though the rugged design can help with small height drops, it may not be effective if the drive is dropped from a considerable height, especially if the drive was plugged in during the drop. All these issues are related to traditional hard drives; if you have an SSD inside your drive, the chances of it being damaged during a drop are very low. We will post a picture of the LaCie rugged drive soon.

These are the related products in that series for which we offer data recovery services, but not limited to:

  • Rugged
  • Rugged SSD pro
  • Rugged RAID shuttle
  • Rugged mini
  • Rugged RAID pro
  • Rugged Secure

Lacie d2 professional data recovery

LaCie d2 professional is a desktop series that comes with a mechanical hard drive inside. This series uses 3.5″ hard drives that offer great speed and performance. However, it’s important to note that when a drive spins faster for improved performance, it may also have a higher chance of reliability issues.

Another problem with this series is dropped hard drives. The d2 series casing is very heavy, which, in combination with the weight of the internal hard drive, makes it very heavy and can cause a lot of damage if dropped.

Additionally, the drive stands on a small platform that is not proportional to the height of the drive, and a slight push can make the drive tip over to the side.

Lacie 1big and 2big data recovery

This series is very similar to the d2 professional, but it comes with an added docking station that offers the option to connect different memory cards and a USB port to upload files directly to the drive. The main issue we have seen with this series is damaged read/write heads. Regardless of the problem your hard drive has, in most cases, we can recover your lost data.

These are the related products in that series for which we offer data recovery services, but not limited to:

  • 1big dock
  • 2big dock
  • 2big RAID
  • 1big dock SSD pro

Lacie 5big, 6big and 12big RAID data recovery

A very well-designed external unit capable of holding up to 5(5big), 6(6big) or 12(12big) hard drives. The main issue we observe with this unit is related to common problems with RAID configuration hard drives. Additionally, the locking mechanism of the enclosure is not durable enough, and during transport or move, drives may slide out of the enclosure.

Common LaCie External Hard Drive Problems

LaCie products typically indicate serious errors. The 12big Rack Network uses audible alarms and lights to alert users. If the device displays a constant light with a slow beeping sound, one or more drives have failed or cannot be read. Beeping sounds are also used by LaCie RAID devices and home drives to indicate drive failure. You can hear both soft clicking (which can be normal so long as it’s still functioning), and hard clicking. If the device isn’t working, soft clicking could indicate that the drive is corrupted, or has a failure in the external power supply or power cable. Hard clicking is metal-on-metal and is typically accompanied by an alarm. This is usually a physical failure and caused by trauma to the drive. LaCie rugged drives can also be prone to overheating (under heavy use) which will damage the PCB.

If you hear, see, or believe your hard drive may be experiencing one of these problems or any other, do not power up the device. Discontinue the use of the drive immediately as this may cause more damage and further loss of data.

LaCie RAID and external hard drives

LaCie is a well-known brand offering Photography and high-end movie production units. It manufactures a broad range of products such as personal hard drives, RAID arrays, and NAS servers. LaCie NAS and RAID devices are affordable and quite dependable. Their design ensures that if one hard drive fails, data can be reconstructed. However, when multiple hard drives fail, it leads to data loss. If you suspect multiple hard drive failure, make sure never reinitialize the device because that can make data recovery much more difficult. No matter what data loss issue you’re facing, feel free to contact us.

Fast and safe LaCie data recovery services

LaCie external hard drives are popularly used to transfer and backup files. These devices offer a good solution to store massive data and can be conveniently connected to computers, laptops, and other devices. However, LaCie users may encounter several issues that often lead to data loss. It is possible that data stored on your LaCie hard disk gets accidentally deleted or become corrupted for unknown reasons.

Recovering data from LaCie NAS & RAID

What are the common causes of LaCie external hard drive failure?

All external hard drives, including LaCie drives may fail or becomes undetectable due to various reasons. The most common causes of external hard drive failure include file system corruption, unplugging the device from PC or MAC without safe ejection, malware infection, accidental dropping, and an excessive number of hard disk bad sectors.

What are the common causes of data loss for LaCie RAID?

Data loss on NAS devices depends on the fault tolerance of the system. These devices typically use RAID, which provides redundancy. For example in RAID 5 configuration, if more than one hard drive suffers damage, the server can experience data loss. The common causes of data loss include a power surge, file corruption, accidental deletion, virus attacks, accidental overwrites, etc. No matter how you’ve lost your data, we can successfully recover data from LaCie NAS, SAN, and other complex systems.

About LaCie

LaCie began its life as two storage companies in 1989; as Electronique d2 in Paris, France, and as La Cie in 1987 in Portland, Oregon. In the U.S., La Cie was founded on the principles that product differentiation would create a profit. The founder’s objective was to create premier products and make the company stand out through industrial design and value-added software. In 1990 La Cie was acquired by a subsidiary of Quantum. Early in the company’s life, they had focused their businesses on IT storage solutions based on the SCSI interface. (SCSI was later adopted by Apple Computer as its main peripheral interface.) As a subsidiary of Quantum, La Cie was licensed as the exclusive manufacturer of Apple-branded external SCSI hard drives with Quantum HDDs inside.

In 1995, Electronique d2 purchased LaCie. ED2 was eventually phased out by 1998, and decided to adopt “LaCie” as the name for the brand worldwide. In 2014, Seagate purchased the company for $186 million. Now LaCie creates the enclosures and Seagate provides the hard drives inside. The companies are still in the process of merging. Since ED2’s original target consumer was the apple user (and many of the users worked in creative professions) they strive to offer “designer drives” to satisfy their customer’s artistic tastes.
