help LaCie Mobile Drive Secure FAQ
Does the LaCie Mobile Drive Secure use password protection?
Yes. The current LaCie data sheet describes password protection that works with both macOS and Windows. It does not document a user-configurable self-destruct feature, so that claim should not be assumed for this model.

What capacities and connection does the LaCie Mobile Drive Secure offer?
The listed capacities are 2TB, 4TB, and 5TB, with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB-C interface rated up to 5Gbps. The drive can also connect to USB4, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 USB-C hosts.

Can I use the LaCie Mobile Drive Secure with both Mac and Windows?
Yes. LaCie says it works with most Windows and macOS systems, and the box includes a USB-C cable. Reformatting may be needed if you want to use it with Time Machine.

Is the LaCie Mobile Drive Secure an SSD or a portable HDD?
It is an external portable hard disk drive, not an SSD. The data sheet lists USB-C transfers up to 130MB per second and a three-year limited warranty, so it is aimed at portable storage and backup rather than SSD-level performance.
