Hopefully this will improve the quality of their products. I've had nothing but trouble with Lacie products. |

Never had a problem with my Lacie external HDD - I know one drive not exactly a reliable test case, but I've had several problems with Seagate drives. |

What the others said. LaCie has generally been my go-to external drive provider. My experience of other makers (WD being an honourable exception so far) has been iffy. Iomega, in particular, seem to make horribly flaky drives. |

We had 4 Lacies at the office, 1 being a rack mounted device. All 3 of the external USB/Network drives have had to have their power supplies replaced. 2 of them have had total drive failures. Plus the way they implemented USB was ridiculous. Something died in the rack mounted one and we had to buy a new one and with the replacement device, the software is broken as it cannot join our domain. Lacie's support for each incident was non-existent. |

You're obviously doing it wrong! Everyone knows the way to work with LaCie kit is never to actually run it or plug it in to anything! (In my case, this is literally true: there are four dormant drives on my desk, and two currently plugged in and running.  )

Our Lacie Big2 is fubar, it can't boot and can't reset Their support is taking the piss too, 2 days to reply to a support request giving a copy and paste response from the manual as to how to restore it, the fact it won't boot kindof makes this a moot suggestion. Needless to say with no backup NAS or ftp access for non-sensitive but important files for 2 weeks almost now... it's going back and we are rolling our own solution They aren't even suitable for anything remotely technical either, had to individually add users to have share permission.. |

I've had a couple of Lacies die after about 6 months continuous use. I think Heather is right - they work best if you don't plug them in. |
