Title: beware if you care about your data
Review: I have been a loyal LaCie user for years, and have paid the price - literally. No more.LaCie external hard drives will outlive their warranty. But so far, about a year after the warranty expired, two drives have crashed, i.e., they became unreadable, inaccessable, so that they did not even connect to my Mac via Firewire. As a result, I had to spend $1500 each time to have another company retrieve the data.These drives sat still, on a shelf, for two years, so there was no issue with them being mishandled or jostled. The internal mechanics simply stopped working.I am now looking for a new company. Never again will I purchase anything from LaCie. If you care about your data, stay away.
