Reviewed on 2008-07-20 The Perfect Workable Storage Solution The Good: Bought this as a means to add additional, workable storage for my Mac. Needed something that could back up large files quickly but still give me the ability to work off of the drive when needed. The fact that it is one of just a few drives out there that can accept many different kinds of connections (USB, Firewire 400, and most importantly fast Firewire 800) makes this drive perfect. I have yet to drop this thing but am told it is fine to drop from a height of about 3 feet. It is also designed very well. Just pretty to look at and the rubber protective skin leaves you with a feeling that this thing can be banged up a bit. Comes with all needed cables, most importantly the Firewire 800 cable which I have had trouble finding in brick-and-mortar stores. The Not-So-Good: The drive can get somewhat hot so be sure that it has adequate space around it to "breathe". I put mine on top of something smaller like a decks of cards so that air can circulate to the underside, helping to keep it cooler. Wish it came with the extra protective skin options. Orange is nice but sometimes you just want something different.

Reviewed on 2008-07-07 Perfect for Travel I needed something that was light, rugged, didn't require an external power supply and didn't take up a lot of space. This works perfectly!

Reviewed on 2008-06-22 Big Value, Small Package, Great Price I have an Apple PowerBook with an 80 GB Internal Drive which by the time I load all my apps, there is very little room for files. This small footprint, high capacity drive is perfect for travel. It holds a mirror copy of my main computer allowing me to take everything on the road. When I get home, everything I've updated while traveling is moved back to the main computer. Added plus is that in almost every hotel we stay there are never enough electric outlets. Since the LaCie draws it's power from the the laptop, this is one more problem solved. I am absolutey thrilled with this little gem, especialy the size and Amazon's great price.

Reviewed on 2008-06-21 GREAT DRIVE for the price!! This rugged drive with firewire works great. It is very fast. It's a great value for the price and has been totally reliable. I've had no problems with it--and getting to plug-n-play on mac without having to install software was very appreciated. It doesn't run loud. It doesn't run hot. I couldn't be happier! (If you are on pc windows os, running windows on mac, networked to windows, or filesharing with windows--DO read the manual and DO install and configure as recommended.)
