Rating: - Great until it malfunctioned...
I bought the drive at the end of January, come the beginning of May it full on broke. Before that, it was great. 160GB, highly reliable and very portable. However one morning I plugged it into my Macbook and it wasn't recognised. I tried a different Mac and different firewire cable but came up with nothing. Next step, I called Lacie. After 30mins of being kept on hold I spoke to an adviser who unhelpfully concluded that the hard drive needed repair after a long session of 'let's try this'. Lacie have agreed to repair the drive as it is still under warranty but I they cannot retrive any of the data on the drive itself. So if you are looking for a reliable portable external hard drive I recommend you look elsewhere as this one is not worth the money, for the drive to function less than 4 months of occasional use is not really acceptable.
Rating: - very good backup
works well with a 1 ghz emac; should work better with a firewire 800 computer
Rating: - Defective Lacie 160 GB from Beach Camera
I have received Lacie 160 GB rugged drive. But the product is defective. I have used it with my Mac OS X 10.5.2. First few times it properly mounts on my Macbook desktop. I have copied about 5 GB of vidio file. After that it doesn't mount. I can't use it anymore. I am going to return it. Beach Camer's return policy is not good. They will not refund 100%. Even for defective product they keep 10%. They will return only 90% of the product cost even for defective product, it surprises me.
Careful before buying it from Beach Camera.
Rating: - LaCie delivers again
This is my fourth LaCie Rugged hard drive. I do a lot of on-site video editing and audio recording. I've read lots of reviews about this hard drives, saying that they're not so reliable, but to be quite honest, after four of these (I bought the first two years ago), I can speak for LaCie quality. Way to go!
