Versatile Drive August 19, 2010 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Works exactly as expected and per manufacturers specifications. Drive is worth the above market price due to its wide variety of ports for data transfer. In the right type of "master-slave" environment through-put speeds are dramatically higher then USB 2.
Silence... hated the blue light August 7, 2010 W. Lai (Chicago, IL USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Love the eSATA & Firewire options, much better than USB 2.0
Had it for less than 2 months, hope it will last like my other 8 HD that I use daily, they all work for 3-4 years.
Too sharp. Could give a finger cut July 23, 2010 Parag 1 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have always purchased Lacie for its reliability & Especially good design. But I am really disappointed in this particular design of Lacie. It looks good in photograph so I bought it but when I opened it, it almost cut my finger. The edges are ridiculously sharp like a knifes edge.
Lacie could have designed this product with a sharp look but with a fine blunt edge.
Excellent! I Own 3 Now! July 20, 2010 Razorbeam Grrl (Crofton, MD United States) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I use these for archiving files and doing Time Machine backups of my Macs. I love the look of the glossy black slabs, but the quality is the most impressive thing as well as adaptability having Firewire 800, eSATA, and USB2 interfaces. They are fast, reliable and, quiet. They have no fan noise and stay cool mostly via convection cooling at room temperature, but if it's being used somewhere that's very warm it does have a temperature sensitive fan that will kick on. That surprised me the first time I heard it because I had my first one for about a year of quiet operation and then one day while a backup was being dumped to it I heard start making a low whirring sound. It was the fan blowing heat out the back of the housing.
I highly recommend these LaCie drives!
Lacie Hard Disk Quadra 1TB July 19, 2010 JohnHusk I got it fast. It set up easily with my iMac. So far, so good. A rather large blue light remains on while the drive is on, sort of like an omniscient being monitoring my key strokes.
I haven't had it that long, but thus far I am happy with it. Time will tell whether it performs consistently and lasts for a couple of years, but for now it seems to be a good fit for
my iMac. When it is backing up things automatically using Time Machine, the drive sort of "whines," but it is not loud.
