Pros: Light, small, cheap
Cons: Loud
Summary: Encased in a lightweight, attractive aluminum exterior the LaCie 250 GB external hard drive looks primed for action. The clean brushed face and tasteful pinhole LED looks at home on your desk or in your entertainment center and the small footprint keeps ... read more

Pros: PRICE
Cons: They consistently FAIL
Summary: Listen, I like a deal like everyone else. I do the math and I compare the prices and consistently LaCie drives are the best bang for the buck. But are they really? Simply put, I've owned two of these and within, or just after a year of use, BOTH have ... read more

Pros: Relatively compact, large storage, ease of use
Cons: a bit heavy for commuting requirements and requires external power supply.
Summary: This guy is great! 250MB of additional storage is plenty for me at work and I would imagine for most of you out there as well. It is easily transportable if necessary, however it is a bit heavy. Therefore it is not ideal for daily commuting in a bag, ... read more

Pros: Size, looks, and it works!
Cons: Confusing error messages
Summary: I’ve only had the LaCie external hard drive for a few weeks, but my initial impressions are very positive. Looking at epinions.com for ratings of external hard drives is actually kind of depressing, since nearly every drive with enough ratings to ... read more

Pros: Very quiet, fast and reliable (6 months so far).
Cons: Price - could be 40 dollars cheaper.
Summary: I have used Lacie products for about 12 years now and they have a solid reputation. Their monitors, for example the Lacie Electron Blue 19", are design industry stalwarts - I had one for 5 years and then still sold it for 250 dollars! I went for this ... read more

Pros: Cheap, stores a lot of data; comes with back-up software
Cons: Unreliable for long-term storage; short life span; inaccessible customer service
Summary: Seemed fine originally, but then started giving me error messages during daily back-up after about six months. I tried emailing customer support several times (there is no phone number) regarding the errors, but never got a reply. Then after two years,

Pros: Cheap and fast
Cons: will fail! poor support, rude staff, will not honor warranty
Summary: I have had the opportunity to purchase a LOT of LaCie products and made my decision based on their advertising claims and the price and functions of the product. I have decided not to make any more purchases from this company because I have seen a

Pros: quiet, easy to install, attractive, convenient
Cons: none
Summary: Bought this drive a few months ago and it has been running great since then. It is very easy to install. You can take it out of the box and use it in less than 5 minutes! I use an external USB 2.0 connector and haven't found any great lag for my

Pros: Quiet, Fast, Reliable
Cons: None
Summary: I bought this drive a few months ago and have not had a problem with it yet. Nor do I expect one, since all the reviews I read said it was a great drive. Its also MUCH faster than the IOmega 250GB drive I bought previously. Also, its VERY quiet which is

Pros: Cheap, small and light weight. No installation required ( with Windows XP).
Cons: Not durable. If you drop it, you will lose all data. It gets hot.
Summary: I bought this at $150 at amazon.com. It works like the USB thumb memory drive. Much better than having 50 DVDs as back up disks. As soon as you connect the USB cable to the computer, the computer recognize it and is ready to use it. It's very small and

Pros: Spacious, inexpensive, minimalist design
Cons: None so far
Summary: I've been needing some additional storage space for a while now, mostly for audio projects and my iTunes Music Library. Though I use a Windows-based laptop, I was familiar with LaCie from my days, many years ago, as a Macintosh user. So, even though
