I've been running the 160GB and two 250s for 4+ and 2+ years, respectively. I use one as a primary shared repository for files on the home network, including the TiVo. The others are backups. The share drive has been on 24/7 for 2 years. The other drives are only turned on when I need them. I've seen mixed reviews for these drives, but my experience has been very positive. With the usage outlined above, I have had reliable, fast, and zero-maintenance operation. 91 of 92 people found the following review helpful: Great drive in Firewire version, By David M "professordavid" (Zionsville, IN USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 500GB Hard Drive, Design by Porsche (Electronics) OK, this is the USB version, but I bought the Firewire version. It was a hard choice, but the Firewire is reported to be faster in the real world (even though the technical specs put them close: check out the debate on USB 2 vs Firewire 400).
I had previously bought the smaller version LaCie Porsche Design drive (about 120 GB), and filled it in short order with simple, manual clicking and dragging. Not so the 500 GB. I used SuperDuper to image my MacBook Pro 111 GB drive to it. I only have about 80 GB on it. It took a bit to copy it completely (and do the file checking along the way) and make a bootable image. I want to say more than an hour -- less than two. I then did something radical: I plugged it in as the start-up drive on my iMac at work, and it ran smoothly and without incident. I wasn't sure if the MacBook Pro bootable would run the iMac, but there was no problem. The drive runs very quietly; I do not hear whirring or otherwise. It's warm to the...Read more 75 of 77 people found the following review helpful: Great drive for the money, By This review is from: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 500GB Hard Drive, Design by Porsche (Electronics) I now have about 8 Lacie external USB drives and they have all been great.
This one is fast, quiet, well designed and easy to install and use. Unlike the 250 GB drives, this one does have a fan, but it is whisper quiet. I acutally did not know it was there until I noticed the vents and put my finger there and could feel the air flow. Then I listened carefully and could hear it (up close). But you will never notice it in normal use. Easy to install, very cool design, fast, works good. Sounds like a five to me. ;) |
