Try with another USB cable.

It is nice , it could be nicer if someone , upload a video how to open the aluminum case ....

I had the same disk to but controller defected and I manage to change it.....but it is impossible without case distraction!!! :(

[andreatunes]

Well, I'm not going to open it, I'm not really the kind of person who does this things. It could be an epic fail! :-)

See video about the quirky noisy fan on LaCie 1TB Neil Poulton hard disk (model 301315U with FW 400 & eSATA connectors) & read "more info": search for giWyD9_Cn4w

I strongly suggest you download a utility to monitor your external hard disk temperature if you do not want to lose all your data from an overheating drive, the #1 cause of failing drives.

Thank you for the quick tip!

lacie disks are ok but not great whats really important is what drive is on the inside of the unit, and how good is the bridge board and power supply, Ive had 4 lacie power supplys failed on me, bought 5 of their products, one of the drives inside one of my 4 lacie external hard disk is on the way out, the drive inside it is a maxtor :(. Seagate , hitachi western digital & samsung are generally more reliable drives. but if you base buying a drive on how black it, is then good luck to you.

Man, I bought this hard drive 'cause it had a great price/reliability trade off. The fact that is black is nothing to to me. I like it, it's ok. Nothing more.

I bought the 750GB version (with FW 400 & eSATA connectors too) back in November, it's a silent and sexy drive, worked fine until it crapped out on me along with my data after just two months.

Checking the drivers back then when I installed it, looks like it is a Seagate drive under that hood. Will update when my data recovery centre actually opens up the casing (voiding my warranty), intending to swap the old disk with a WD.

Hi Mate, that Hard Drive looks really stylish, I have two My Book's. I wanted one of the LaCie external Hard Drives but I read in a MAc Magazine that they were too big, which I can see in your video that the author of that review was obviously a Leprechaun from my home land of the Emerald Isle.

I've sent you a PM in response to your comment.

[andreatunes]

i accidentally deleted a comment. anyway, i use iMovie HD 6, from Apple

[jerrry13157]

lol,

cut that thing in half and put 3 more green lights on it and it would look like my dsl modem :)

[andreatunes]

this hd fits perfectly with my desk.

i put this under my handmade notebook stand.

[nickdotvr]

good stuff, usually I go with the WD MyBook series drives but these would be my next choice.

[andreatunes]

actually i love my WD, but LaCies are normaly cheaper (but they have just the USB connection)

[andreatunes]

still using windows?!

;-)

[andreatunes]

thank you so much...

well, i really like this clip, too.

unfortunately the quality on youtube isn't that high, on my ipod is really much higher

Sweet, I'm looking into buying one of these so I can transfer all my files off my 32bit Vista and install a 64bit vista if I can. :D

[ouijaboard2]

Nice :)
