I really don't get the design hype... looks like a silver box.

As for Lacie... I hear a lot of people giving their HDDs a lot of crap, but I've got two Big Disk Extremes (500GB each) and haven't had one bit of trouble over the year and a half (close to 2 years) I've had them running. Sure they get a little warm, but I wonder where people are putting these things to have them over heat.

I've got both of mine hooked up to my HTPC, both packed to the brim with media... no problems, ever.

Back on subject... gotta say once more I really don't understand the styling hype (and obvious mark-up), you can get a 1TB Big Disk for $100 more. Say what you will, but when people walk into my living room and see my set up, it's the fact that I've got 2TB of HDDs that impresses people. They never look at the drives themselves cause they're tucked away in a (well ventilated) shelf. I wan't people seeing the TV, not the HDDs.
