Summary: CAUTION!
Review: I purchased this drive from Lacie for $279. The manual I downloaded, the PDF, is not the same as this drive. It doesn't look anything like it either. It's no longer listed on Lacie's web site. I've attempted contacting them to ask if they had a PDF for this. I tried contacting their Technical Support, both by phone and email and have yet to reach them. When Amazon sent an email from me their response was "Thank you for you purchase."

I well aware that computers and external drives are constantly changing - I've been working with computers for over 20 years but this really takes the cake.

Make sure you know what you're buying before your purchase. Talk to someone first.

Summary: Same old story about LaCie not updating ANY products.
Review: No idea why 5 stars appeared this time.

1 star product! ZERO MAYBE!

Lacie are getting the wrong end of the stick from me. The fact that this company refuses to update drivers for old hardware for new versions of an OS is simply a farce in this day and age.

Lacie refuse to develop drivers to support a new OS or even an update. Back in the days of NT they would not even bring out Win2k support for the systems. When XP arrived most of their hardware the year before was simply left to dry up with age.

In short if you buy Lacie then it will only perform to your current system specs. Any changes to the OS and chances are you will be shelling out more doe for new hardware.

CON.
