Digital camera reviews of LaCie 301065U Brick 500GB USB 2.0 Stackable External Hard Drive Red
Digital camera Review: No way to partition and really bad customer service
Summary: 1 Stars
This hard drive seems like like a good choice until you open the box and try to create a partition (a simple task for anyone). I am fairly savy with things like this, but a partition simply could not be created. I tried to look at the FAQ and tried to get help from their tech deparment. The only thing the tech people do a Lacie is refer you back to the FAQ....I guess it's cheaper than having real tech-folks on the payroll. So...if you don't need to partition your hard drive or if you think and if you think the only problems you will EVER have will some how be able to be resolved by their FAQ section.....then...I recomend this hard driveDigital camera Review: Quiet & Speedy
Summary: 5 Stars
My LaCie 500 isn't making a sound and it works great. Very speedy for USB 2.0 (seems just as fast as Firewire). Set up was a breeze (took about two minutes). I just plugged it in and my Mac recognized it right away. Looks very cool sitting on my desk and is quiet as a church mouse. I haven't done anything with the back up software as I just have to drag and drop very large (40 GB) files onto it. Highly recommend this hard drive --- especially with the price at $158.00. I can't comment on LaCie tech support as I've never had any problems with the 3 hard drives that I have purchased from them.Digital camera Review: Speed not Too fast, LED does not indicate disk activity
Summary: 3 Stars
Worked right out of the box. Runs a bit slower than my other USB hard disks, but still ok. About 250 MegBytes/sec transfer rate. Windows XP. Comes formatted as FAT32. LaCie website recommends reformatting to NTFS, which helped the speed for smaller files.
Don't like the Red LED. Just indicated unit is running. Does not flash when there is disk activity. Actually, if I look at just the right angle, I can see a wee bit of flashing, but have to have my face close to see it.
Appearance is great. Love the look. Noise is so-so. Quieter than one other HD, but noisier than 2 others.
Wanted to buy another of this style, but will look at other models now..
Digital camera Review: great value and cute
Summary: 5 Stars
product arrived quickly and is as described. it doesn't seem to get too hot, it's ADORABLE, and it's 500gb for a very low price. i use it as the time machine for my macbook, so i am not sure how the backup software with which it came works because time machine requires the drive be erased before it can be used for this purpose. i recommend this product but cannot evaluate the included software features.
