Digital camera reviews of LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 250 GB USB 2.0/FireWire 400/800 Portable External Hard Drive 301291
Digital camera Review: Great and Solid
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this hard drive to throw in my laptop bag to carry data around, plus images and video clips to edit.
It is a very good drive and has held up well, with no data loss. It has plenty of room for documents, photos, and other things you would like to have.
The multiple interface of FW and USB is also a big plus, because I have a FW connection and prefer that when moving large files.
All in all a good package at a reasonable price with alot of storage. I also have some thinner drives, like the WD, though some of those are USB only. They are also fine for storage and cost less. Depending on my needs, I carry one of those also (or instead) to save a bit of room or weight, and also to carry smaller, less speed intensive items, such as Excel and Word documents.
Digital camera Review: Great little hard drive.

LaCie 250 GB Rugged Hard Disk with FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and USB2.0
This product is great. I've been using it for a month now with both the 800 and 400 FireWire connections. It's fast, lightweight, and stylish. It's also very convenient to drag along with me in my backpack.
Digital camera Review: Great product

Bought this item to transfer my iTunes to an external hard drive as it was taking up almost all my internal on my Laptop. Worked right out of the box with no problems. Comes with everything you need, You don't need the power plug as the firewire will power this unit but it comes with one anyway incase you need it. It also comes with the firewire 400 and 800. Thats great as I can connect the 800 to my macbook pro and watch movies off the external hardware without any hesitation or stalling. I would definitely recommend this product.Digital camera Review: Great product for the money!

Wow is all I can say about this external hard drive. I was looking for one because my MacBook had just about 3GB of space left on the hard drive at one point. So I knew I needed an external hard drive. I bought this (320GB) for $109. Nothing! Absolutely nothing can beat that price, especially for 320GB! I purchased this external hard drive on Sunday January 17. I received it in the mail (without paying shipping) that wednesday January 21. I didn't pay anything for shipping and received this in 4 days. That is really nice. I would definitely recommend this external hard drive to anyone because there are different sizes (160GB 320GB 500GB) and it is built to withstand rough impacts. Buy this product. It is great!
Just for anyone who was wondering, this product does come with the orange casing. I was reading some reviews and one of them said you had to buy it separately. It does come with the orange rubber case. It also comes with a few different cords for firewire and usb 2.0
Buy this product it is defiantly worth it!
Digital camera Review: Great. Except when it stops working. Daily. on 2 drives
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this drive last year (2009) for use instead of a laptop, ferrying a full HD daily backup to and from work. Small, inexpensive, flexible. It worked great for about 3 months. Then it started cutting out and unmounting at random, causing all kinds of trouble. I'm on a Mac, and the Finder would freeze, as would any app trying to access the file system (eg to save files, open, etc.). The least-of-all-evils solution was to pull the plug on the drive. The system complains about ejecting, but at least you don't lose unsaved changes. I complained to LaCie. They first took the drive back and, as far as I can tell, erased it and sent it back (thanks for the high-tech help!). Same problem. Then they sent a "free" AC adapter (for a bus-powered drive). No dice. Then they finally took the drive and sent me a replacement. Worked great for all of 2 weeks. Now, the problem is back. I have no idea of this is typical, but I'd be wary of this product.
