 Good value, good drive. September 4, 2009

After looking around for a budget hard drive I saw this one and, being Lacie, decided to it was a bargain for the cost.
I cannot comment - yet - on the reliability as I have only used it for one evening but would be surprised if it were to fail. I sold Apple kit for 10 years and Lacie were one of the most reliable makes going. Given that I tend to hammer such devices the first time out of the box to make sure any initial problems show up and that I spent around 5 hours almost constantly writing and erasing it on my iMac, it appears to as reliable as the 500gb Maxtor and 250gb Verbatim currently in use.
Performance wise it's streets faster than the Maxtor drive and a little faster than the Verbatim (so much for small drives being faster!) is quieter, runs cooler and is a much nicer box to look at. Cannot fault it in any way and highly delighted. It even has it's own power switch with many other drives don't.
There is one small, minor and mildly niggling problem however. I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and the utilities installer fails every time. Not a big deal as Apple's Disk Utility partitioned and formatted it without a glitch and it's possbile to use Carbon Copy Cloner to do backups but given the lead time to Snow Leopard it would have been nice to see Lacie acknowledge this on the box or provide new software with the drive. I have not had time to check Lacie's web site but they may already have new software or be working on it.
Even with the lack of Snow Leopard software compatability I must give it a top rating. If I am proven wrong on the reliability I will re-review and apologise but I don't anticipate having to do so.

Well designed as you would expect, plug & play straight out of the box & excellent for Mac - Time Machine
superb. 16mb cache does EXACTLY the same job as 32mb November 8, 2008

superb silent enclosure.
incidentally, a 32mb cache is no faster than a 16mb cache on a 1tb drive. makes no difference whatsoever.
its just a marketing gimmick to attract people who think more cache is better. It is, but theres a limit, and anything over 16mb on 1tb is completely pointless, you will not see a difference.

Have had a Lacie drive for many years - no problems great drive. Decided to get another one. Reviewed a lot of makes and decided to come back to Lacie again. The drive is great, looks good, is not really that noisy. I run Windows XP and it installed easily with the software provided. As usual Amazon had excellent deleivery and was here three days ahead of expected delivery date. Would certainly recommend this drive and other Lacie drives. I have also had Freecom drives and woul NOT recommend them, the power pack dies and the drive malfubnctions os all those important files or lost.

I don't know much about HDD's and nothing to compare this one to. However, it does exactly what its meant to. It was easily installed (on an iMac) and has worked perfectly. I was influenced by the recommendation in a Mac users magazine and I think it was a good choice. Any body with a Mac should know that it works seamlessly with Time Machine. It is small and light and although I have it sitting hidden away underneath my desk it would look very nice on view and the glossy black would match some of the new glossy black kit around these days. Good value for the 1TB.
