Keeping your valuable data safe from some nasty computer spasm that wipes it back to a line of useless noughts is very sensible. And if you're going to back up, you may as well do it with a hard-drive that can survive an apocalyptic nuclear blast.

AWESOME USB DRIVE!

I absolutely LOVE this drive. I use it with my MacBook as my backup drive, as well as for my Aperture, iPhoto, and iTunes libraries so that I can keep my local hard drive free and clear. It's completely USB powered with no need for additional power supply, making this drive VERY portable.
Pros:
  • Easy To Setup
  • Easy to use
  • High Capacity
  • Portable
  • Quiet
  • USB Powered
Cons:
  • NA

Don't know why LaCie is still in business

If you enjoy "Delayed Write Failed" errors when transferring files overnight with no clue where it left off, then finding that your NTFS partition is hosed, then this is the drive for you. Two in a row with the same issue.

It's awesome

The LaClie Firewire drive is much faster than my previous Verbatim firewire drive. I am still using using the Firewire 400 connection to back up my server. I recommend it to everyone who has critical files to back-up from a Mac.
