 good to bad January 2, 2009
I bought this product 2 years ago. I have had plenty of experience with it, and am rather fed up with it.
1/ the power cord that comes with it regularly dies. So, you'll need to replace is every 6 months. We've been through 4 power cables - at 25 a pop.
2/ transfer rates are poor. I have another smaller backup drive which is SO much faster and far more attractive to look at.
3/ After 18 months, it finally disappeared from our desktops. Hence I've been dealing with Lacie UK Office for 3 months now. They insist it is showing up on their computers at their office, and when I get it back, it's the same story - it is just not registering on any of your laptops (we have 2 different laptops). The machine has been back and forth 3 times, and Lacie refuses to believe us. So, I asked them to have someone come round to see for themselves...they say they don't do such a thing. They only work in house. So, it's their word against our and they are not budging.
Lacie UK has been just as clanky as this machine is. Takes 1 month to simply get the paperwork you need to return it for repair, or servicing.
Overall, I'd never buy lacie again. As a backup drive, it's unreliable, and this is precisely why anyone has a backup drive!
 Lots to like about this backup drive February 17, 2008

I was very excited when I discovered this new product, since I've been a backup slacker in the past and this held the promise of convenience and ease. The drive was very easy to install and configure. The data transfer rate over my home network is a little poky, so I run my backups at night while I'm asleep. We're a multi-laptop household, so I also backed up my wife's laptop easily. The bundled software is crap. Right now I'm using iBackup, which is downloadable freeware. When I upgrade to Leopard, I'll use Time Machine, I guess. I'm glad I bought it and have recommended it to friends who are also satisfied with it.
 Great Device December 24, 2007

This is my 2nd networked harddrive. My first was a device that used SCSI software for an interface and has repeatedly been problematic. I was referred to Lacie by Apple and it has been a great choice. This device is accessible to any networked computer by accessing it's IP address. A terrific product for anyone that wants to store data and access it from multiple computers on the network. NO SOFTWARE REQUIRED.
