About LaCie

Our Heritage

Founded with roots tracing back to 1987 in the United States and 1989 in Paris, France, LaCie (pronounced "lā-see," meaning "the company" in French) has been at the forefront of storage technology for over three decades. Our headquarters in Paris represents our European heritage and design philosophy, while our American origins reflect our commitment to technological innovation. In 2014, LaCie became part of Seagate Technology, joining forces with one of the world's leading data storage companies. This partnership has strengthened our position as a premium professional storage sub-brand, combining LaCie's design excellence with Seagate's technological expertise and global reach.

We collaborate with renowned designers to create storage solutions that are visually striking and ergonomically refined. Every LaCie product embodies our philosophy that professional tools should inspire confidence and creativity, making them a natural extension of your creative workflow rather than just another piece of equipment.
