JUNK! Every LaCie piece of hardware I have ever owned has died on me in bad ways. From multiple external CD burners, to DVD burners to external harddrives used for back up. They use maxtor drives in them. Never get any drive other than Segate or it will bite you in the rear. Lacie's use Maxtors' crap hard drives with a cheaper price tag and very high failure rate. I have lost archives of client data thinking I would get the nice looking lacie aluminium case. Not worth the data loss or the $3500 in data recovery fees. Never buy La Cie when it dies you will kick yourself and rember reading my post.
