Downloaded Tahoe successfully. No issues or problems that I've detected so far. First back up on Le Cie Portable HD (Plenty of available space) overnight, did not complete. Seems to have completed this morning, now running additional back up, it's at 36% after about 4 hours. Why is it taking so long?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.0
Have you tried stopping the backup (click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar > Skip this backup) then restarting it?
FWIW, TM backups are working fine for me to both my NAS and a Samsung T7 SSD.

How are you connected to the external...(?)
Try a different port—
NOT the DFU port and compare your results:

Many times. Reformatted the disk, did everything I know..... Trying again now from reformatted disk. 80% after 6 hours....
Have you tried running Disk Utility > First Aid on the LaCie drive?
