This firewire 800 Lacie external drive has two 250GB drives which provide excellent performance. It is used on our media center Apple Mac Mini and is extremely quite since it doesn’t use a fan for cooling. Very pleased with the purchase.

I own three of these. They all take their power from the firewire 800 port (daisy-chained) on my MacBook Pro (Aluminum). Fast, silent, very compact.

Far faster than a traditional firewire or usb 2.0 drives. As far as I know this is the only bus powered raid. It uses raid 0 . It does not have mirroring capabilities. Using firewire 800 it is very fast.I have the 320gb version of this unit.

This drive has now been in use for several months as backup for my system. The Little Big Disk Quadra’s small physical size, holding 500 GB disk space, is perfect for my needs, and works so well I ordered another for off-site storage.

I am using this drive as an eSATA backup for an office PC with critical files using Norton Ghost v14. Daily and system backups are speedy and painless. Wish the supplied eSATA cable was longer. Setup was a no-brainer.
