- Great Drive
I love everything about it except that it's French.
It's a well built quiet monster and I use the Firewire 800 connection.
I would buy LaCie again even if I can't pronounce it.
Rating: - Flawless performance
This drive is unbelievably quiet and was super-easy to install. I've had it about a year with no problems. Would buy another in a minute if I could afford it.

- Bad product
Purchased this product, connected it via firewire - does not work, does not even format! connected via usb, formats ok, but then immediately afterwards, chkdsk gives errors.
Must be either a bad batch or inadequate Quality Control.
Rating: - Works poorly, but the support is even worse.

Rating: - Failed in 6 months
I had high hopes for this drive. First it was noisy due to a cheap fan. Then today only 6 months after I ordered it - it failed - I lost 400GB of data most of which I had backed up because the drive wasn't acting right before. I'd stay away from this line. Get a seagate or maxtor or something that works.
