Summary: Expensive but small and reliable
Review: Bought a 60Gb version of this drive 2 years ago and have travelled the world with it ever since. Small, reliable, fairly robust (owing to the shock-proof rubberized casing) and with the convenience of both firewire and USB 2 interfaces. Plug it into Win2k, it gets auto-recognized and you're good to go in a few minutes. Windows explorer shows it as just another drive in the system. The second and subsequent times you connect, it gets set up even faster since the drivers will have been already loaded. Superb way of carrying 60Gb or more literally in your pocket. If you are on the move a lot or want to extend your laptop I'd highly recommend it. However, the price per Gb with this drive is somewhat high, so if you could live with a less portable drive, then there are cheaper drives available with larger capacities. If size / weight are an issue, then I can recommend this as a very portable and reliable solution.

Summary: Died after 18 months
Review: My LaCie 20gig Pocket drive died after 18 months. I used it once per month for backup of my desktop system and laptop. Now it's green light comes on but it doesn't spin up and the USB connection will not be recognized by either system.
