5 of 5 Awesome backup!! Wednesday, October 01, 2008
bronxer from Bronx, NY
I am using it on a Macbook. I did not use the provided software but instead used SuperDuper backup software. My Macbook has a Firewire 400 port - not the fastest Firewire 800 that's available on the LaCie.
So I started the backup of my entire hard drive - approximately 50 Gigs - it took less than 2 hours!! Very nice backup. Well built and easy to use. Highly Recommended.
Also, thanks to BUY.COM - for a super fast delivery. I was expecting it in 5-7 days and it arrived in 3!! Awesome price too!! Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 LaCie Hard Drives - Versatile and Simple to Use Saturday, September 13, 2008
Mike from Alexandria, VA
I have used several different brands of external hard drives, but none are easier to use and more versatile - in terms of interface (USB and Firewire) than LaCie. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Good but High Electrical "Ghost Load" Friday, September 05, 2008
A Customer from Williamsport PA
I like it but the transformer that powers it is always hot--even when it's inactive. And that goes for all the LaCie hard drives I've gotten. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great Drive! Monday, August 25, 2008
A Customer from Chicago, IL
LaCie roCks. Great drive for the money, worth every penny. Only problem was that my windows machine didn't like the button (installer disc didn't have windows install files) but went to lacie's website, downloaded the driver and it works fine now.
I use this with macdrive on my windows machine and with a macbook and a G5. Great for moving audio projects between systems, and have a partition for time machine to back up my laptop.
Highly recommended for all uses, as I put this drive to work for multiple uses and it's great! Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 RAID 0 Buyer Beware Sunday, August 24, 2008
that's going to leave a mark... from Kansas City, MO
Don't get me wrong, LaCie makes good hard drives, whoever's innards they are. I just sent one off for a $1,500.00 Data Recovery, and found that my 1TB LaCie actually had two 500 MB Seagate drives. It seems that Lacie doesn't make the actual drives, just the pretty packaging.
I lost the data because I was stupid, and didn't backup as a rule. I was even dumber because I didn't back immediately when the drive started to making noises after I dropped it off my desk. It stumbled on for a couple more days before it quit working.
To make matters worse, these particular LaCie's are RAID-ZERO connected. Which means there's no redundancy, a.k.a. no backup, a.k.a. up the creek w/o a paddle if something happens.
I hear LaCie also makes a nice RAID-ONE, which uses two mirrored disks to back up it's data. Something to consider. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Made for Mac Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Doc from Menomonie, WI
I purchased the LaCie external hard drive for my iMac. It is a perfect match. Everything you need is contained in the box with the drive. It was a simple matter of attaching the drive via the included firewire 800 cable, plugging it in to the power source and starting it up.
My iMac identified the drive immediately and it has been working flawlessly for the past two weeks. I am transferring video files from two older external drives and storing my newly completed files.
The service was exceptional and I will definitely by LaCie from Buy.com in the future Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great product Monday, August 11, 2008
A Customer from fresno, ca.
I've only had this product for a few weeks, but so far, it's working great. Lacie has always made a great product, so there's no doubt this hard drive will continue to perform as expected. Was this review helpful?
1 of 5 Failed to format correctly on Windows XP Wednesday, July 30, 2008
A Customer from Seattle, WA
Pretty frustrated: bought harddrive, went to Disk Management, it saw the drive, hit format, and 1/2 hour later, after it was done formatting, Windows couldn't see the drive. Returned to buy.com and getting another one; hope the next one works. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Lacie 1TB Hard drive Saturday, July 12, 2008
mikebike125@carolina.rr.com from Charlotte, NC
Write a review on the Lacie? I forgot I even bought it! I pulled it out of the box, plugged it in and that was it. It has been backing up my iMac since I got it without a peep! It works perfectly right out of the box. I previously had bought a WD hard drive from Costco and it wasn't recognized by my firewire. I returned two WD drives and bought this Lace and never looked back. This is a fine drive and I am very happy I bought it.
PLUS it has it's own cooling fan and turns off when the iMac goes to sleep. The case is aluminum and very robust compared to the WD MyBook plastic case. I was afraid that one would crack on me not a chance with the Lacie. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 LaCie Looms Large for MAC users Monday, June 23, 2008
Dumb Video Guy from Kansas City, MO
Me dumb video guy. I mostly work with high-def video in Final Cut. The LaCie's reasonably fast FireWire800 connection and 7200 rpm disk speed are helping me stay relatively sane. I haven't had a hard-drive related "episode" since I switched.
For fellow MAC users -- LaCie's are ready to go as soon as you plug them in. And being technology challenged... it's hard to put a price on not having to fuss or format.
The slight up lag caused by LaCie's power saving shutoff feature is mildly annoying. Especially when I'm getting crushed by a deadline. But on the whole I recommend the FireWire800 triple interface line to anyone who needs obscene amounts of storage at friendly prices. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 excellent Friday, May 23, 2008
yanti from New York
My husband loved it, it small and cute but little bit heavy, so far it work very well with his iMac and my Macbook. We use it as a back up for all our files and we use it wirelessly.
Excellent buy, with a great price can't beat that. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 All good Sunday, May 18, 2008
James from MA
Quiet and cool, with the least annoying light of any external hard drive I have ever owned. Like it so much I bought another 500 gb one a couple days ago. Hooked it up to my Mac and it just worked... which is the way I like it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Reliable Sunday, May 18, 2008
JCS from Utica, NY
I have only had this hard drive for a few weeks,yet not only does it work flawlessly but it seems so much more reliable and robust than my WD My Book 500Gb drive that I have been using. When I bought this I also considered a G-Tech, but the price was twice as much. Maybe someday I will regret the decision, but right now I think that I made the right one. I use this for working on a film project that I am creating in Final Cut Pro. Was this review helpful?
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? |
