1 More on LaCie
Maybe other reviewers are using the wrong OS. I've been using the same LaCie external drive for over 4 years now, through 2 OS's and various inceptions of them without a hitch. The drive continues to work without any effort from me. I've been using LaCie since back in the days of SCSI peripherals and they've never steered me wrong. Top notch quality, top notch support. Of course though, I'm using a Mac, so there may be some disparity in the level of support other OS's provide their peripherals as well as the support offered by the manufacturer. Which ever the case, LaCie treats its Mac users well.
2 avoid it
Lacie are getting the wrong end of the stick from me. The fact that this company refuses to update drivers for old hardware for new versions of an OS is simply a farce in this day and age.
Lacie refuse to develop drivers to support a new OS or even an update. Back in the days of NT they would not even bring out Win2k support for the systems. When XP arrived most of their hardware the year before was simply left to dry up with age.
In short if you buy Lacie then it will only perform to your current system specs. Any changes to the OS and chances are you will be shelling out more doe for new hardware.
CON.
