The Lacie Starck Desktop shattered that record, finishing a full seven seconds faster. Western Digital’s My Book Mac Edition ( ) finished our 1GB copy test at an impressive speed of forty-nine seconds, previously the best time for a USB device. In our lab tests, the Starck Desktop was above and beyond competing USB desktop drives that we’ve tested. After working with the device for a while, I appreciated the subtlety of the lights compared to standard LEDs. Is there a place to download such file I just want to format my new drive through the original software. The Starck Desktop also features a status LED in the form of what LaCie calls “Starck’s signature symbol.” The status LED glows green or orange to indicate different activity. Hi I accidentally 'erased' my new LaCie Thunderbolt with Disk Utility, and now that I try to reformat it, I can't find LaCie's Set Up Assistant anymore. The Starck Desktop features a strong 3mm aluminum exterior. Why not have two buttons instead of a touch-sensitive button? The ability to launch applications is somewhat useful if you plan on launching Time Machine or Photoshop, but call me shortsighted-I just don’t see the practical application of launching programs from your desktop drive.
It comes with a quick start guide, as well as a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C to Type-C cable.
Still, the functionality seems limited and just a bit gimmicky. The LaCie Porsche Design Mobile 4TB version has dimensions of 128 mm x 84 mm x 21 mm and weighs 315 grams. Click a user or group in the Name column, then choose a privilege setting from the pop-up menu. If the lock at the bottom right is locked, click it to unlock the Get Info options, then enter an administrator name and password. Once it detects your drive, select the drive and click 'Mount'.

When your LaCie is plugged into your Mac, it’s just like a normal hard drive. On your Mac, select a disk, folder, or file, then choose File > Get Info. You’ll need a USB Type A to USB C adaptor for your Mac with Thunderbolt.
In seconds I was able to configure the button to launch applications of my choosing. It has a micro B type connection at the LaCie fuel end and a type A connection at the Mac end. Initially tapping on the button does nothing, as the shortcut button’s functionality must first be configured through the easy-to-understand LaCie Desktop Manager software. Depending on whether you lightly tap or firmly touch the curved button on the end of the drive, the Starck Desktop can be programmed to open different programs. The Starck Desktop allows you to customize the touch-sensitive front panel to open an application of your choosing. While stylish looks and the focus on USB have become popular trends with drive manufacturers these days, LaCie still has a few tricks up their sleeves.
