I bought a cheap 75 gig drive a few years ago from comp usa and that works fine when I plug it into a mac and then turn around and plug it into a pc. But when I did it with the lacie, that was it. The pc wouldn’t even see it. And then when I went to plug it back into a mac, it wouldn’t recognize it any more. Now I have a 900+ gigs of footage that I need to make my demo reel t get jobs, stuck on the drive. And no money to pay someone to get it off. LACIE sucks. I should’ve learned from my job when one crashed, but thought it was just my co-worker messing it up. She probably did, but Lacie still sucks, get something else or you just might regret it.

Lacie is the hands-down worst customer service for computer related products. I have had three of their hard drives and all have failed before they were two years old. I have bought Buffalo and ReadyNAS and been very satisfied with both the product and customer service. Lacie makes very good doorstops not computer equipment.

this hard drive stores a lot. It has changed my life in ways I can’t even describe!

For some reason I must have received a defective product. I tried to daisy chain the firewire cables to my old hard drive which didnt work at all. Notice how it stands up on that little stand its very easy to tip over and if it does its enough to knock the discs out of sync making it unusable. Luckily there is a 2 year warranty on the product so if you have any problems you can send it back. Im still very disapointed. Took the hard drive apart to find out that it was missing multiple screws, this was probably why the HDD could not take a bang whatsoever. The inside is composed of two 500 gig HDD.

I have an new fully tricked out Alienware laptop and a Sony pc and tried for many hours to make either computer even see the harddrive. The information inclosed mentioned having to format it for a pc but not for a mac. I tried to do that following the directions and still couldnt make it work. Sure do wish I had known that befor I sent for it. I love, admire and totally respect people that it comes easily to to do that kind of thing. But for me I want and expect to plug something in and have it work. I am a photographer/videographer. I just purchased another WD external harddrive and within a little while with no worries had my tons of photo and video backed up. So guess I will stick with them.
