Hideaway drive- ready to stack!

byPirich Feb 27, 2007

Pros Inexpensive, Compact, No silly blue lights.
Cons No sleep mode, fan noise, limited to USB 2.0 ONLY.
Recommended it? Yes

The LaCie 500GB USB 2.0 drive is built with no pretensions for what it is- it is a storage device. And a storage device is more useful if it is more flexible, takes up less space, and doesn't prohibit options. If the box literature is to be believed, LaCie needed to turn to FA Porche to figure this... Read full review »

No Bargain

Pros Price, size
Cons Dependability
Recommended it? No

It seemed like a good deal - 500 GB (well, 465 GB actually but you know how these things work) for $119.99 CDN as a 'Door Crasher' at FutureShop - I was looking for a back-up system so I grabbed one.

Mistake.

First off, the supplied USB cable is less than 12 long - basically... Read full review »

Pros Cheap, easy to use.
Cons Short USB, gets hot, only on/off switch.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this hard drive from Amazon.com about 2 months ago. It was the cheapest 500 gigabyte hard drive that you could buy. I am pretty happy with it so far, it is quick and it has sufficient storage for my needs. It is supposed to be a 500Gig hard drive, but it comes out of the box at 465Gigs... Read full review »

Semi-annoying hum, but otherwise solid

Pros Bang for $ Quick Plug & Go
Cons Noise Ugly light Small USB cord Long Format
Recommended it? Yes

I received the unit a little less than a week ago. If you want to use it for XP/Vista only you'll probably want to format for NTFS. The difference from the FAT32 and NTFS is that you can put files >4GB on NTFS - Useful if you want to use it to back your DVD's up for a "worst case scenario"... Read full review »

Much smaller than you think

Pros see above
Cons see above
Recommended it? Yes

I needed a 500gb drive to match my Lacie F.A. Porsche DVD writer. I thought I could stack the two on top of each other. But the drive is much smaller! It's the width of a cigarette box, the height of a little less than 2 cigarette boxes and the length of about 3.

It is also much heavier... Read full review »

This Drive is Crap

byengine_digital Feb 25, 2008
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks Nice (But dont be fooled)
Cons Unstable, Unreliable, Bad Customer Support, Crappy Warranty
Recommended it? No

I bought 1 of these, it has worked fine. So, in january 08 i bought two more.

Bad idea. This new drive was brand new out of the box, connected 3 times to an MacBook. After moving a full year worth of professional photography to the drive, it stopped mounting and began making a load hum... Read full review »
