LaJunk

Please, please do not waste your money on this piece of junk. I had my Lacie for less than a year and it constantly had problems mounting onto my computer. The Firewire cable or port must have been faulty. I should have seen it as a warning sign. Now it won't mount AT ALL, even with other cables.
Pros:
  • Nice design
Cons:
  • Unreliable
  • Prone to failure

Do not buy this piece of garbage. I've barely used this and the cables are so loose they won't even stay in my computer for more than 5 seconds. Very frustrating when i'm trying to edit photos. Don't waste your time

Lacie Rugged 500GB review

The name of the Lacie Rugged immediately gives you a good indication of the aim of this eye-catching external hard drive. Lacie has opted for a robust plastic box that cradles the hard drive inside, and will absorb any shocks and knocks should you drop it.

LaCie Rugged Hard Disk 500GB review

LaCie's Rugged Hard Disk gets its name from its rigid metal case and the thick orange rubber bumper that surrounds it. Although we wouldn't want to drop any hard disk, the Rugged feels more robust than many disks.

Don't expect longevity

Hard drive was on my desk for two years. Only plugged it in to back up maybe once a week. After two years, it started making noises. Customer service is horrible at Lacie. Sales dept is good, Once its out of warranty tech dept won't talk to you without giving your credit card number Crash......
Pros:
  • Portable
  • Quiet
Cons:
  • Unreliable
