Not recommended - poor cooling - power supply fails after 8 months!
Purchased this drive as I already have an older 115GB Lacie firewire drive which still works okay.
Re: 500GB Lacie D2 - Very disappointing - poor cooling - power supply in the box fails after 8 months! There appears to be too much extra crammed into basically the same metal box used for my much earlier drive. This product gets hotter than any other external drive I own or have known (I currently have three from different manufacturers).
Power supply circuitry fails after 8 months intermitent use. Overheated? If you want to recover the data on the hardrive you're on your own! Don't expect any help from Lacie or your money back.
Carefully remove the hardrive from the Lacie box and place it in an external hardrive casing for a SATA drive. These cost around £50.00 extra from Maplin etc. This worked for me... the Seagate drive supplied in the Lacie box is now working again!
Hardrive is made by Seagate - so why not simply buy a Seagate branded 500GB external drive? I did and guess what - it runs and looks cool as a cucumber.
Would I buy an another Lacie packaged hardrive product? No!
GREAT!!!!
Its looks great, delivery was fast, i was soo glad when i got it, its a great buy at this price and super cool and quiet, you can just about hear it, great harddrive for people into music or media, this is a future proof harddrive so no worries about it becoming oselete!!!!
Flawless... so far
I bought this product to back up my computers HDD. This is the first external HDD I have ever bought, and I am very pleased I chose this particular drive.
Great design, strong build quality, quiet and instantly useable... just plug in a it appears on the desktop ( I can only comment on using it for a Mac and not a PC) Highly recommended.
