    The thing that scares me about some of these comments is that the company I work for stocks nothing but LaCie External HDD's. We haven't had very many returns or needs for data recovery on the drives. But seeing as how I get a good employee discount, I have my entire Music Library backed up on one of these. I'm just afraid of deciding to listen to some Daft Punk and having my drive go all Technologic on me. Wondering if I should ask for something with a good review from NewEgg.com for X-mas...

    is it just me or does lacie only seem to come out with products inspired by 2001 anymore?

    White is hot. I wish Apple still thought that. If they still had glossy white iPods, I'd be getting that instead of a Zune. Silver < white. Silver is so played out for electronics.

    Now if only Lacie didn't have such a high failure rate. I've never experienced so many problems with an external hard drive brand as I have with Lacie.

    Actually, it doesn't come in black. That is the "network space". Which is network storage only, no remote access. Available in the US now. The white "internet space" is a UPnP/DLNA device thats allows remote access to the data. On its way to the US, available in Europe now.

    Is anyone else wondering what that blue rectangle of light is doing in front of the drive? Is that suppose to be part of the drive enclosure itself, or is it suppose to be illustrating that the drive projects a blue status light onto whatever surface it is on? Confusion consumes me.

    The lego brick-shaped LaCie drive is far, far cooler.

    My LaCie 500GB started sounding like a coffee grinder after about a year (bought refurbished from lacie site). Just upgraded to a Western Digital 750GB pocket drive for about 15% cheaper

    @nystreetfilms: The problem is two fold. LaCie tends to use the Hitachi Desk(DEATH)Star drives, and their chipsets have this nasty habit of burning out after being active for an extended period of time. I'm not certain whether or not it varies between the USB models and the more expensive Firewire variety, but I do know that they can crap out after doing lots and lots of bulk transfers.

    @Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: I have a LaCie D3 Big Drive and it uses a Maxtor HDD and is the best external HDD I've ever owned. I also have a cheaper LaCie Porsche-designed one and that one sucks ass.

    @neuralien: Yeah, I'm generally wary of LaCie's stuff, but my Porsche is actually running strong after 2 years of solid use. It's not a main backup unit, so I won't shed any tears for its passing. I'm curious about the Big Disk, but there's one that has easy open slots on the back so you can install your own drives. I may go with one of those.

    According to Lacie's site the 500GB is already out of stock so that leaves only the 750GB & 1TB models available.


    Additionally this item is not currently available in the US...

    I bought the Home Mini 500GB version of this. Lacie has disabled the sync function for every folder except the "backup" section. I have been in touch with support and they wont give me a reason. Syncing is so critical for a large drive of music, and other media. They only allow you to cut/copy replace, which can take hours to update. NOT GOOD.
