Review: I've beed cutting a Feature film on Final Cut pro 4 using the drive to house all of my footage (i also captured directly to it without a problem, 27 hours of DV footage).I've not had any problems with the drive and we're 6 weeks into the edit and just about finished. The only thing that i have started to notice is that moving large chuncks of video around in my timeline has become pretty slow. I'm wondering if this has to do with the drive or my system and i havent figured that one out yet.

Review: I've had the LaCie 500 gig Big Disk for slightly over a month. It's role was supposed to be archiving raw video and back-up for other disk I use for video editing. The drive has acted flakey almost from the beginning. Occasionally, it would refuse a file, stating that it couldn't write to the MFT file. (This is used by NTFS to keep metadata on the files in the system) Also, it runs hot! Forget stacking these. You can cook eggs on them. Finally, in the last week, 2 of these drives have died at my company. We've given up on them; even if we can recover the data (300 gig of video...gone!) we can't trust them. Take a look at the Maxtor 250 gig drives instead. We use them on every workstation and haven't had a bit of trouble.
