Digital camera Review: Lacie 250GB Rugged H-drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't put it under extensive use but so far it seems to be very rugged and has performed flawlessly backing up a pc laptop. The extra ports are great and give faster options. I would definitely use this as a direct to disk option using a laptop and firewire video camera. It also runs great off of bus power using any of the available ports. I would highly recommend this drive.Digital camera Review: Lacie 250gb external hd

A good external drive, but it did require use of the provided usb power cable in addition to the data usb cable to work with my laptops. If you use it with a laptop I would plug each cable in before I tried to use the drive. I didn't and had to reformat the drive with the Windows utilities to get it to work!!Digital camera Review: No problems
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this external drive for almost 2 years, and have taken it around the world in my back-pack, with no problems or issues whatsoever. Not much more you can ask for in a portable drive.Digital camera Review: Perfect companion for the MacBook Pro
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this model LaCie hard drive for almost a year and it is fabulous. My previous drive was a Westell USB drive that stopped working after a few months. I've been using the drive in a middle school environment and it can really take the shocks! I've been using it with my digital photography class to collect their projects from various computers so I can grade them. Back and forth to the lab every day. No failures.
In fact, I was so impressed I bought one of these drives for my personal use as well.
While the drive is a bit larger dimensions that some of the others on the market, it is sturdy and reliable and has numerous options for connecting to your laptop. FIREWIRE 400, FIREWIRE 800, and USB 2.0. Best of all: all the cords come with it! No need to purchase separate firewire cords. The drive is plug and play, but it also has a power cord just in case (I've never needed to use it). I love that I can take it from a firewire 400 computer to a computer with only firewire 800 and just switch connecting cords.
This is an outstanding drive at a great price. True value here!

Broke after a month, won't mount. Lost all of my data and now the lacie support team is running having me run in circles. Worst hard drive experience. Don't buy this product.
