The Moon Silver variant is actually not the Secure variant, which is why it is also cheaper than the Space Grey variant.

The main difference is that the variant with the "Secure" suffix offers integrated hardware encryption.
Mobile Drive Secure also enables password protection and locking/unlocking of data via the LaCie/Seagate Toolkit software, while the normal Mobile Drive does not have this security function.

Short answer: No - the device does not use SSD technology; it is an external HDD (2.5" hard drive).
Explanation: The technical specifications list the model as a portable 2.5" hard drive / HDD with USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1) interface and list capacity and form factor, not SSD as storage type. Dealer data sheets and product specifications explicitly refer to the model as an HDD or external hard drive (manufacturer number STLP2000400).
If you are looking for an SSD variant: LaCie offers separate portable SSD models (different product line) that are labelled as SSD; I am not completely sure if this information covers all variants because the source is primarily dealer and product data sheets.

The main difference between LaCie Mobile Drive and LaCie Mobile Drive Secure is the additional hardware encryption and password protection on the Mobile Drive Secure. This model offers a built-in security feature via the LaCie Toolkit software that allows you to lock and unlock the drive, adding an extra layer of data protection. Both models are USB-C compatible and offer simple backup functions, but only the Secure model has the advanced protection of encryption.
The LaCie Mobile Drive Secure is particularly suitable for use as a backup medium for your MacBook, as it is compatible with macOS, supports automatic and one-click backups and provides password protection for your data. It is also made from recycled materials and offers a 3-year data recovery service.
Regarding other backup drives for Mac with approx. 2 TB: The LaCie Mobile Drive Secure is a very good choice as it is specially optimised for Mac and iPad with USB-C and supports Time Machine backups. There are other hard drives with similar capacity and Mac compatibility, but the Secure model offers added value for data security and protection through hardware encryption and the Rescue data recovery service.

Yes, the external hard drive can be formatted in NTFS. However, if you want to use this drive with a Mac, you will need to install an additional NTFS driver to enable writing to the drive, as macOS does not natively support writing to NTFS volumes.

You can connect the external hard drive to a USB-A port using a USB-C to USB-A adapter. This enables connection to devices without a USB-C port.

Yes, you can simply connect this external hard drive to your MacBook without formatting it first. It is compatible with Macs and supports USB-C, which means it can be connected directly. However, it might be necessary to format the drive if you want to use it for macOS ExFAT or APFS, as it might be in NTFS format, which is not natively supported by macOS.

The performance is very good. There can be a delay of up to 3 seconds when saving directly to a notebook.

Yes, the LaCie Mobile Drive Secure has password protection. This protection is provided by Seagate Secure, which works with Mac OS and Windows systems, allowing you to secure your data with a password.

Windows 11 seems to have a general problem with SCSI drives connected via USB.
In my case, the drive is only recognised correctly every second time and cannot be ejected every time.
In between, errors are reported, but if you try to correct them, the message "no errors present" appears.

Yes, this is a hard drive with moving magnetic discs and not an SSD.
According to the official data sheet this is a hard disc, so not an SSD.
