Easy to use right out of box, a life saver when computer hard drive crashes (as long as you have been backing up faithfully.)

I bought this to serve as a backup for all of my iTunes purchases and digital pictures. Now that it up and running, it serves me flawlessly. It's quiet, runs cool, and provides practically instant access to files (I access it via USB 2.0). Just be careful when setting up the first time. Being a man and initially ignoring the setup directions, I failed to realize that the disk apparently comes pre-formatted to use with Apple rather than Windows. Don't make my mistake! Once I reformatted the disk according to the directions, it worked great and I've been pleased ever since.

Recently my second Lacie hard drive of the same type (500GB external FireWire DRIVE) started to fail. It's exactly the same scenario as it was with a first one: clicking sounds for some period of time, than unstable work and finally complete failure. One of my two other smaller 200GB external FireWire Lacie hard drives recently produced a bunch of bad sectors.If I only new, how bad are your hard drives I never would buy it. They work for a year or two in an average and then break. I'll make sure that as many people I know (mostly programmers and IT specialists) will be notified about unacceptable quality of Lacie hard drives.

A few weeks ago I said this drive was excellent. So good that I bought another one.Well I thought the new drive would supplement and not replace the old.A week after I got the new drive, the old one failed. The old one was (naturally) 7 months out of warranty.I've read too many reviews from other LaCie d2 users whose drives also failed.Drives do fail, but not this much.Now I have to buy another drive. It won't be a LaCie, that's for sure.

I have had this drive for 13 months and used it only for periodic, offsite backups of critical information. Consequently, I used it for less than five hours over the period. The drive started to make an ungodly noise whenever it idled. The LaCie support answer, via email, was not helpful at all. Their first response was, "It could be the power source. If you don't have another one, buy one from us for $20.00." Luckily, I had another one, which did not fix the problem. The LaCie response, "We don't repair drives. Buy a new one." I am left with a $180 dollar doorstop and a resolve to never purchase another LaCie product.

This drive died 8 months after I bought it - I lost all of my content - Lacie's suggestion "buy a 2nd drive!" yeah right - The drive was under warantee when it crashed - but now 6 months after the year warranty, the replacement drive has also crashed.DO NOT BUY THE LARGER 500 Gig Drives - the bridge between the drives WILL CRASH.I've gotten some reall good use out of their smaller model drives (knock on wood)BUT STEER CLEAR OF THIS BIG DRIVE.Oh and you know your drive is going to crash when the drive starts slowing down and takes 10 minutes just to open.

I am a videographer and have purchased 4 of these drives over time. I'm done with LaCie. Two failed after a year and the two remaining are failing now, clicking and clacking and regularly unmounting themselves. They look great! ... designed by a famous guy, but what's inside should last longer than a year!LaCie knows it, and didn't want to look at my failed drives at all. After all, they outlasted the warantee, and that was all that was needed for them.I ended up with some from Mercury (Elite Firewire 800 Pro). They are about the same price, don't look near as good, and work great!Respectfully submitted

Then simply stopped working. After some additional research LaCie has a reputation for unreliable drives (which I knew ahead of time having bought LaCie drive years ago and then stopped). Typical failure rates of 40+% in under a year. Buy drives from anybody else. Fortunately all I kept on this disk were system backups and I can simply start using another disk.

Both of my LaCie Big Disk Extremes have been returned to manufacturer within a year of purchase due to power issues. In each case I have lost time and valuable data (they reformat the drive after repair as stardard operating procedure). Lacie makes decent drives so this surprised me. Later models may have fixed the problem, but the LaCie Big Disk Extreme has issues.

I got this product because i needed extra storage to put my itunes on. my laptop hard drive is only 80G and it was almost full. i have a vast amount of cd's collected over the years which i have been transfering onto itunes.I found the product very easy to use. Simple plug and play. My laptop picked it up straight away. No problem.I now have all my photos, music and psp movie files on the external storage with loads of space to spare. my pc performance has improved and i am thinking about buying another one and using it on a home network i am setting up.10 out of 10. Well done LaCie. Love the design. Makes stacking easy.

I've been through two of these drives now. Neither were "plug and play" as a USB drive should be. I've swapped cables, tried different computers (three to be exact, on two different OS) and still neither drive worked. The first I returned, figuring it was simply a defective drive. When the replacement arrived and had the same problems, I contacted LaCie for support.The support I recieved appeared to be computer-generated based on key words. The first e-mail was generic despite my providing all details of the problem. It included what to do if the problem were with a CDR, for example. The second e-mail told me to do everything that I had just done. Each e-mail had a 3 day turn-around time so by the time of the second e-mail I was a week into trying to solve this problem.The only thing I can figure is that LaCie rushed to production and quality slipped. A USB drive should not be this difficult to install. In the time interval that has elapsed, I have purchased and installed two other USB external HDs on the same machines. This kind of work is something I do frequently at work so the problem is not a complete lack of experience on my part.

Easy to attach, great performance! I use it with a FireWire 800 card in a MediaCenter PC and I stream videos from it, haven't seen any problems.

This drive started off great, but performance has been dropping off and the drive was sluggish. Yesterday it finally failed and all the drive will do is make a clicking sound. Not recommended...

This offers great storage for video editing and is good for backup files can be slow at times but I give it a thumbs up. Never had any trouble with this very big hard drive in avery small and rugged casing.

Was working ok for 1 year (well USB is slower then Firewire anyway) but then powersupply died. Opened case and found that Western Digital HD still works. Have to buy new enclosure and fix myself as repairing costs would be too high.

This is the third, and last LaCie drive I will ever own. My first one failed, and unfortunately I had already bought my two others before they also failed. In the end, all three drives that I bought from LaCie have failed. If you do decide to buy one, you might as well get two and use one for backup because it's only a matter of time, just read through some message boards.

I have read a few reviews that place this hard drive on the less than stellar list as far as external hard drives go. But, I have had it for over a week now. I left it on for two straight days...have yet to feel it get "hot". I have over 4 gigs of music so faron it......have yet to hear it "stall" with iTunes. It copies slow.....but I have a G3 operating OS X so nothing I can do about that. Also, it seems to sleep if I don't use it after awhile. And my G3 is louder than the hard drive. I have yet to hear it make noise. I think I got a good one out of the batch. Cheap....yes. Reliable.....we'll seeI will update in about 3 months.it's been more than three months and this drive is still kicking , love it andglad I bought it. No noise, no hassles just perfect.

Picked this drive up to have something to back-up my machine to. I'm using a G5 iMac and find that the LaCie drive is quieter than the mac (which says a lot). I've been using it for about a week now and have the following pros and cons:Pros:1. Quiet2. Small3. Fun colors and simple design4. Power button and power down when not in useCons:1. Shine on plastic casing shows scratches and dust easily2. Power brickNot sure if it's a con, but it took about 50 minutes to transfer about 60Gb of video to the drive.

As of right now, I am an Apple Student DeveloperMost of my work comes from Filmmaking, as I'm an Independent Filmmaker, and all of my post production work relies heavily upon my Apple G5 Tower, as well as a TON of external harddrive storageWhile some of my LaCie HD's have worked great, many of them have simply failed mehere are the pro's -1. great interface - both FireWire 400 and 800, and they are easy to daisychain2. they are fast - 7200 RPM, and usually, if the drive is good, the performance will showCONS -1. very weak body ---- forget if you drop this thing even one inch - it'll be dead2. very tough to hookup to other drives -- when I say this, I mean it is impossible to stack this drive, or try and put it in a space where it'll stay putTHE BIGGEST PROBLEM ---I don't know what accounts for this - whether its the bridge or the drive itself - but LaCie's drives fail way too muchI've probably purchased around 14 LaCie drives in the past 4 years, for varioius film projects and associate ones ----- of the 14, I have had 5 completely fail on meThis is simply unacceptable for any drive companywhen you consider it all, companies like MAXTOR offer drives with the same interface, same speeds, but at a lower pricewith that said, take a look at MAXTOR, whose drives are housed in a very indestructive body (...)On a sidenote, LaCie has honored the warranties on their drives, and when they're open, their customer service is very helpful --- but I've lost too much data, at this point, to recommend them

This review is concerning 5 (not 1 , but 5 LaCie 500Gb drives) that we purchased for our office, and every single one of them failed. I had called in the first drive that failed, and was actually able to send it in to LaCie. They returned it to me saying that they couldn't reproduce the problem. 3 days later, 2 more of the drives failed in the same way. the drives would make a clicking sound, would have tons of windows delay write failed errors. a few days later, the rest of drives failed, and eventually stopped being recognized by our computers completely, so we decided to just open up the cases and use the drives individually (they are setup in some sort of serial connection to hook up two 250Gb drives, so we bought seperate USB enclosures for the working drive and used them one at a time, and tossed the bad drive.Whatever the case may be, I think having 5 drives fail the same way tells me that this is very bad product. for $500 ... I think I would question the value for sure! do not buy this... you've been warned.

This item is easy to use once you get it installed, which takes high level PC knowledge. Not at all plug and play for PCs, but maybe MACs. Had to install software supplied and reconfigure PC.Subsequently, we purchased a Seagate 300GB, which was immediately plug and play easy. Never had to install software supplied.

Normally I dont care to write reviews, however this one is a must.My Lacie 500GIG HD contained 100% of my music, pictures, movies, personal files and so on. (Copied all my cd's to it and threw away the cd's afterwards) I also have a second Lacie 500GIG HD that I planned on backing all of that up.Click .. bzzzzz .. click .. bzzzzz. The first time that I dont keep two copies of my files and they're gone for good, but thats my fault.I've only owned it for 4 months. It will get a simular treatment as the printer in "Office Space".Don't buy this thing.
