LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3 6 TB
Conclusion
This external desktop hard drive has never disappointed me a day to this day. It is extremely fast and yet runs mostly inaudibly quiet.
A clear Recommendation to buy!
This model looks great, has excellent workmanship and is usually only audible after switching on/ waking up from sleep mode and when logging off. In addition, the LaCie d2's power adapter also powers my MacBook Air and gently charges its batteries (5 volts, 3 amps, 15 watts).
The fact that it unfortunately continues to charge the batteries even when they should better not be charged any further is not LaCie's fault, but a design fault of Apple.
