The purchase price alone is a complete waste of money, but add the potential cost of data loss and recovery and you're looking at a real nightmare. Stay away! Do NOT buy this drive -- high failure rate, October 9, 2008 By Randy Forgaard (New Hampshire, USA) Do NOT buy this Lacie drive. I have purchased 4 of these LaCie external drives in the past year (one of them was 2TB in size, the other three were 1TB in size), and all 4 of them have failed a few months after I started using them, resulting in a loss of all the data. There is something systemically very wrong with the design of these drives.
My recommendation: Buy an Iomega Desktop Hard Drive instead (also available here on Amazon). After the LaCie drives failed, I bought three of the Iomega Desktop Hard Drives (2TB size), and although I've only been using them about a month, they all work great. They are also cheaper than the LaCie drives. |
