Solid !! Jul 30, 2010 I am a truck driver, so I am very hard on electronics. I have only had it for a few weeks but it is perfect for backing up my 17" Macbook Pro. I simply plug it in and it does the rest! I just bought another for my mother and her IMac.
I prefer the Western Digital Passport. Jul 29, 2010 I have the 500gb firewire version. The connection on mine isn't very good. If I am working on the table and someone bumps the table, it becomes disconnected and I get that "device removal" warning. Also, it takes a long time to show up on my desktop, once I plug it into the computer. For what I paid, this isn't such a great device. Although it's super fast (why I gave it 2 stars and not one) when it's actually working, I'd stick with the Western Digital Passports.
Very pleased with this product Jul 23, 2010 I am very pleased with this product. It's simple to use and provides me with a wonderful backup disk as well as extra space.
Lacie No terrain review Jul 20, 2010 I bought this HD because I have used Lacie before.
LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 500 GB USB 2.0/FireWire 400/800 Portable External Hard Drive 301371Unfortunately I have had a lot of trouble with it.
It locks up my computer. I have a Mac and I have never had anything lock it up.
When I call Amazon they said I was a few days out of the 30 day return.
I then called lacie......Good luck.
I went back to using my toshiba I bought from sams and it works great. Its just not firewire

Wish Amazon had negative stars for LaCie customer support Jul 18, 2010 After 6 months of acceptable performance, the drive failed. I'm now on month 2 working with LaCie customer support "Mark H." who always promptly replies within 24 hours with one of three answers: 1. the cable I'm using is broken, not the drive; 2. the USB connection on my computer is broken, not the drive; 3. my computer is broken, not the drive.
Clearly, there's a pattern here.
I've tested all three of these possibilities many times and none of them are true. I've asked LaCie to replace the drive, and they (again, promptly and courteously) tell me I must have done something wrong when testing one of their theories. It's amazing.
So based on the number of negative reviews on Amazon, let's say there's a 25% chance the drive will fail. And based on my experience, you've got a 100% chance of never getting the drive replaced if it does fail.
So buying one of these means you've got a 1 in 4 chance of throwing your money down the toilet.
