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

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.

Nice design

Unreliable; Prone to failure

I wish I had bought a different product

Does not require an adaptor; features a range of ports

Low quality materials; gimicky construction; is in no way rugged; unreliable; overpriced

ive been using it for sometime and i really enjoy it

really good item and good pricing

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.

I am very pleased with my LaCie Rugged 500GB All Terrain Hard disk. It has ample space, very compact & with it's protective casing I am not worried about it getting bashed as I carry it around.

I am always concerned that I may loose my valuable information saved on my computer. I came across this nice back-up drive and am happy I did so. I love the portability and the look of this hard drive. It was very easy to use and I would recommend it to anyone.

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.

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......

Portable; Quiet

Unreliable

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Attractive Design; lots of storage space; Rugged design
