Customer Reviews

Unreliable!
We purchased LaCie to back up photo material. After only four months, with gentle use, the drive quit functioning and made a beeping noise. I called the company, they were very familiar with the problem and said the drive is broken and cannot be repaired. Also, the warranty does not cover data recovery, and has stipulations regarding where one can have their data recovered without compromising the warranty. What a disappointment.

Good Drive
Does all it should and cheaper than hell for what they are. Over time they do wear out, two years on one and strange clicking noise apparently from electrical problem. These will gradually be phased out for flashmemory, but in the meantime, they look cool, hold a lot of stuff, work very well with apple, they are fast, cheap, good

As Promised
I had heard a lot about this specific hard drive, and had heard great things about Lacie in general. Thus far, knock on wood, the drive has been working perfectly. I use it for external storage on a MAC G4 editing Final Cut Pro version 4.1, and it works like a charm. No lag, easy to format and partition, and thus far has given me no problems. I highly recomend it, especially for tasks like video editing.
