LaCie has added support for iPad USB-C and iPhone 15 USB-C devices. For a list of compatible drives please see the table below.
The list of drives in the below table have been tested by LaCie with iPad USB-C and iPhone USB-C devices. If your drive is not listed below, it should work with iPad USB-C or iPhone 15 USB-C but has not been tested.
Note on exFAT format via Windows: When formatting a drive as exFAT on a Windows PC, set the allocation size between 128K to 1024K. Allocation sizes larger than 1024K can lead to detection and write issues on an iPad USB-C and iPhone USB-C. This is only true when formatting on a Windows PC.
