5 of 5 Very reliable Monday, May 12, 2008
A Customer from Seattle, WA
I bought my first unit about 6 months ago and it has been extremely reliable. Buying a second one was not a hard decision to make. I use these with a Mac (10.4) and I have not had any problems whatsoever. I highly recommend this model and will probably purchase more for my other computers. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Lacie 1 TB triple interface external hard drive Monday, March 17, 2008
rossx6@mac.com from los angeles, ca
When it comes to Mac, LaCie is simply the best. Not only do I NOT have to mess with formatting of any kind because they come pre-formatted for Mac, but this baby also comes with an 800 firewire connection to take advantage of that speed on Macs that have it. I've also found with less expensive brands not formatted for Mac that they tend to crash over time, or have compatibility issues over time. I now have 5 Lacie external drives, and they just last longer and work better. Also buy.com is ships with fantastic turn-around. They usually get your item in the mail the day you order it. Love it!

5 of 5 Great External Hard Drive! Saturday, February 16, 2008
normomy@comcast.net from Pennsburg, PA
This is my 5th LaCie. Plug and play is just that - plug and play. Very quiet drive. I have a G5 and I have 3 other 250G LaCies daisy-chained (used for large graphic files and music) and am using this as primary backup for my system. I love that all 3 connection type cables are included. The bundled software was a plus too. Right now I am using it with Firewire 800 but you never know when you may need to switch connections. I am very pleased with this drive and the price and will probably stick with LaCie. I will add that my service from Buy.com was excellent. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Excellent PowerBook Drive Wednesday, January 30, 2008
A Customer from Seattle, WA
This is the 5th copy of this drive that I have bought and it's just as excellent as the other ones it's now daisy chained into! PowerBook G4's (mostly) have FireWire 800 capability, and it shows, this thing is lightning fast, very quite compared to the drives with fans, and I've never had any problems. I'll get another one once this one fills up! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Would buy again in a heartbeat Thursday, January 24, 2008
robvic112@ebarqmail.com from Sunnyside, wa
buy.com is wonderful in the 5 orders i have placed everything arrived as ordered, now on to the lacie 1tb hard drive, this thing has an insane amount of useable space. instalation was a breeze once i used the instructions included on the cd-rom, it does make a a little noise when its reading the drive, other than that its very quiet there is no cooling fan noise what so ever, its also nice that they include a cable for each connection type. the power cord is built very well. like i said i would buy it again in a heartbeat.

5 of 5 Problem installing Driver Tuesday, January 15, 2008
kewlraul22@aol.com from Tampa, FL
I just purchased my 15th Lacie Big Disk and am somewhat satisfied. Up until the last three hard drives the drives themselves are excellent in every aspect. The last two I bought were Lacie Quadra drives, both 500GB. I'm still having an issue where the computer loses the drive and connects the drive again and asks to install drivers for that drive. Same problem with the newest drive I just purchased which is a Lacie Big Disk Extreme 1TB. LaCie assures me that it should have no problem but no solution. I run Windows XP pro SP2 on all machines but one which has Windows Vista Home Premium. Still have the issue prompting me to install drivers. Anyone else having a problem with this?

4 of 5 Roomy drive Sunday, December 30, 2007
A Customer from Manalapan NJ
My first purchase of a LaCie drive. I usually buy Maxtor and Western Digital. I needed a large external drive to expand storage for my iMac computer which holds photos and videos.
The drive comes formatted as HFS+ for Mac OSX which was perfect for me. Windows users will need to reformat it. The triple interface allows USB2, Firewire 400, or Firewire 800. My iMac only supports Firewire 400, but this seems plenty fast when iPhoto and iTunes load.
Overall I am happy with the drive. Two complaints though: (1) Its fan noise is noticeable, but not overly loud. (Louder than the iMac). (2) The initial drive spin up time is noticeable as well. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 LaCie Big Disk Extreme - 1TB Tuesday, December 04, 2007
afyanke@bellsouth.net from Panama City beach, FL 32411
Excellent product. I upgraded my iMac OS to Leopard and needed a larger drive to do the continual backup which is part of the new OS. I already had a 500GB LaCie and was comfortable with it. The new one performs just as well. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 No surprises - which is just what I wanted Friday, November 30, 2007
redptc from Seattle, WA
I usually assemble my own external drives but this was too good a deal to pass up. I've had my drive for about 3 weeks and so far it has worked flawlessly with one exception. When using LaCie's free SilverKeeper backup software for nightly scheduled backups it usually (but not always) fails to locate the drive, even though it is always left on and mounted. I believe this is a software problem since I have had no other problems with accessing the drive. I haven't tried the other backup software that comes with the drive yet. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4 by the way. I will probably purchase another identical unit soon as this one is almost filled up. I see the price has already dropped another $5 |
