Review Summary: Pricey but does the trick...
Review: Great external hard drive. Small, good looking, not the cheapest but a good solid choice.

Review Summary: Great external FireWire drive
Review: This is a great external drive for those who want the flexibility of FW400/800 and eSATA in one unit. It is fast and quiet- mine is on my desk right next to the Mac PowerBook that I use on a daily basis. Bundled s/w is very good and set up is a snap.

Review Summary: Glitch
Review: While overall satisfied with the unit I have a glitch that is random in nature. Sometimes when I boot up the system gets hung up in the boot process and freezes. Solution is to unplug the unit and reboot wherein the computer fires up normally. I then replug the unit in and wait for it to happen randomly next time I turn on the system. I have found no reason or cause for this glitch.

Review Summary: LaCie d2 Quadra 500 GB
Review: Great drive. Plug it in and run the quick setup and you are off and running. As simple as that. I use it with my iMac, running backups using TimeMachine. I also configured it to have an Exchange partition and use that to swap files with Windows PCs.

Review Summary: LaCie d2 Quadra 500 GB
Review: I recently purchased this drive with the soul purpose of using the eSata interface with my Vista computer. The drive runs fairly quiet and relatively cool. Like Dennis Henry, the only gripe I had was the inability to Plug and Play. This would be accomplished on occasion, but most of the time I had to restart the computer. I found an easy solution for this, that doesn't require rebooting. If you open the Device Manager and you highlight one of the devices, this will bring an icon on top right side: Scan for Hardware Changes. Clicking on that will bring the drive to life on a matter of seconds.
