At Five Star Data Recovery, we specialize in comprehensive Lacie data recovery services. If you have lost files, we can help. This can happen because of accidental deletion, problems with the file system, physical damage, or sudden drive failure. We will recover your lost files quickly and safely.
We provide recovery for a wide range of Lacie external hard drives and RAID systems, including:
No matter if you use a portable USB-C drive or a multi-disk Thunderbolt RAID array, our lab can help. We have the tools and knowledge to recover data from a Lacie device in any setup or condition.
Despite their reputation for quality, Lacie drives can still fail or lose data because of a variety of issues. Below are some common causes of data loss that we see in our lab:
Although Lacie drives withstand impact like the Rugged series, they’re not indestructible. Drops, water exposure, and electrical surges can cause mechanical failure or damage internal components.
Many professionals use Lacie RAID drives like the 2big, 4big, and 6big models for speed and redundancy. These systems often use RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 configurations.
When one or more drives in a RAID array fail, recovery gets more complicated. This can also happen if the RAID is misconfigured or corrupted. Here’s how we handle Lacie RAID data recovery:
If you have lost data from a Lacie RAID system, we can help. Whether it was because of failure, formatting, or disk removal, we can rebuild the array and recover your data.
We follow a safe, transparent recovery process:
This process helps us recover deleted files, rebuild volumes, and get data from Lacie external hard drives safely.

Lacie hard drives are trusted by professionals and creatives for their ability to store large amounts of data securely. Many users store:
These file types are often critical and not easily recreated. When you experience losing data from a Lacie, especially project files or client deliverables, it’s essential to work with a recovery team that understands the importance of fast and accurate file recovery.
Lacie drives are built with performance in mind. They often have faster connections like Thunderbolt or USB-C.
These are popular with Mac users and those who use creative software. These high-speed drives are great for video editing or accessing files quickly. However, their design can make recovery more complex.
Lacie external hard drives may also have embedded encryption, which makes DIY recovery risky. If someone uses the wrong tool, they could overwrite the encryption header or corrupt the file system entirely. That’s why we always start with a forensic image. This keeps your original device safe during the recovery process.
Many clients unintentionally make recovery more difficult by trying to fix the problem themselves. Here’s what not to do if you’re dealing with a failed or deleted Lacie drive:
Each of these actions can reduce your chance of recovery. They may overwrite important areas or harm the file system further. If your Lacie external hard drive shows signs of failure, stop using it. Send it to a professional recovery service.

My team uses a 4big RAID for media production. One drive failed, then another. We thought we lost the whole project. Five Star not only recovered the files—they kept the folder structure completely intact.

Lacie drives may use different file systems depending on whether they’re used on Mac or PC:
Each file system stores and deletes data differently. Our tools allow us to recover lost files from a Lacie drive regardless of format. We also recover from drives showing as “RAW” or “unallocated.”
Five Star Data Recovery has worked with countless production houses, creative agencies, and media professionals. Industries consider Lacie external hard drives a staple because they handle large files and support fast workflows. We understand how devastating it is to lose a wedding shoot, a commercial project, or hours of edited footage.
We’ve recovered data from Lacie devices used in film sets, music studios, animation
workstations, and commercial photography sessions. Whether you formatted your Lacie hard
disk, dropped it on location, or it became unreadable mid-edit, we’re here to help. Our lab handles not just recovery, but also the specialized file types used in creative workflows.
Once your data is recovered, we always recommend a few key steps to prevent future issues:
Even the best storage devices wear out over time. With proactive care and proper backup systems in place, you can avoid the stress of losing important files again.
Lacie drives are built tough, but recovery requires expertise. If you have a single corrupted file or a whole RAID array that won’t mount, we can help. We have the tools and experience to recover your data safely.

Yes, we specialize in LaCie data recovery from drives that don’t mount, aren’t recognized by the system, or show errors. Whether it’s a USB-C, Thunderbolt, or legacy FireWire connection, we can diagnose and recover your files.
Absolutely. We offer LaCie RAID recovery for models like the 2big, 5big, and Rugged RAID Pro. Whether your RAID is degraded, failed, or reformatted, we can rebuild and extract your valuable data safely.
Frequent issues with LaCie drives include clicking noises, overheating, slow access times, file system corruption, or complete failure to mount. These symptoms indicate possible hardware or firmware problems that require professional recovery.
Yes. If your LaCie drive was accidentally formatted or partitioned, we use advanced recovery tools to perform deep scans and recover deleted files, directories, and folder structures—provided no significant data was overwritten.
Immediately power it down. Clicking, buzzing, or grinding noises often indicate mechanical failure. Continued use can cause permanent damage. Bring or send it in for a safe LaCie hard drive recovery evaluation.
