Summary: Incompatible with Windows XP SP2
Review: I don't know what the problem is or who is responsible, but the 1TB version of this drive is a nightmare due to constant "delayed write failed" errors. I suggest you do some research before buying this drive, as I suspect it's identical to the 1TB version except for using 400MB drives instead of 250MB drives.

Review: 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.

Now I see they are even refusing to update products for even SP2!!!

LOL!!!

JOKE COMPANY. Avoid.

CON.
