Title: Eratic Behavior
Review: This product has the potential to be a very useful means of backup and storage for large amounts of data, music, and photos. However, I have found the performance of the hard drive to be very erratic. Sometimes it will mount on the Mac Mini desktop, and sometimes it will not. Sometimes it will simply disappear after mounting. The Mac Mini System Profiler will sometimes recognize the device as a LaCie drive, even though the drive does not mount. Other times, it will see only an "Unknown Device." At all times however, the product performs properly as a hub, both for Firewire and USB devices. The lack of operating consistency is a very serious shortcoming and a source of much frustration. I do not recommend this product.
