Customer ReviewsAverage Customer Review  Great drive with excellent support, November 27, 2009 By Kevin Vermeer (Grand Rapids, MI USA) I very much like this drive. It is fast (Look at the stats), quiet (except the tick when it spins the platters up, annoying during night backups), and dependable.
The drive feels very sturdy-it is cast aluminum, and feels like it's solid. While I wouldn't rate it high on portability (Too heavy, the multitude of ports would get dirty, and I don't want the internals to be damaged-this is a desktop drive, after all)it has very sturdy, high quality construction.
At one point, I had a problem with the power supply. The light came on, and it spun up briefly, but would not appear in my computer. In a call to support, I got a short hold period, but then had a discussion with a helpful, knowledgeable, native-English speaking support staff member who was able to help me get my drive back in working order. Excellent support!
My only gripe is that the horizontal mounts described are worthless. You will have this drive vertically on your desk as pictured, unless you never bump it. The included clear, grippy plastic strips don't do much more than rest in the grooves on the case, and fall out at the slightest provocation.
Disclaimer:I bought this drive six months, so I may have chosen a different drive now available if it were offered then. Excellent 1 TB external hard drive, November 26, 2009 By Bert Kulic (Las Vegas NV (USA)) This is my second LaCie 1 TB external drive. I store large video files on them. I've had one for about a year, the second one for several months. I've never had a single problem with either drive. I also move the drives between three different home computers, without any problems. An excellent investment for about $150. You can get cheaper external drives, but this one is built to last. It has an extra large 32 mb cache, which speeds up writing. No negatives from my perspective. Works Fine, November 20, 2009 By Larry A. Olson (Estes Park, CO) This external hard drive works fine. Have had it a couple of weeks. Entire body is a heat sink (which is good). Has many interface plugs. Really like the three way mode switch (Off, Auto, On) feature. I would consider the LaCie a professional external drive vs. a consumer external drive (usually smaller; lighter). So far, so good, November 20, 2009 By Aloysius (Potzdorf) I have had the drive for about two weeks now and it does exactly what I need it to do. It works well with Time Machine, feels solid, doesn't make much noise and looks pretty good. The large blue LED might be distracting if it were not for the fact that I have it far below eye level.
 Piece of Junk, November 17, 2009 By Emmobee (Cambridge, MA United States) I bought 4 of these drives for a project and nearly all of them died within 3 months--after they had lots of data on them. The power supply just went. DON'T TRUST YOUR DATA ON THESE DRIVES! |
