Best Choice out there.......2007-12-26
After trying a Maxtor harddrive and having the indexing on my mac so screwed up i had to erase everything and reboot the operating system, I went for teh most reliable thing out there. After a bit of research I heard teh Lacie drive was best--and they even USE them in the Apple stores. It works, is quite, and is well worth the cost. it comes with 3 types of cables too. buy it!
A Great Storage Solution... So Far.......2007-12-26
I recently purchased the LaCie 160 and have successfully (and easily) transferred about 20 gb of data from my computer's hard drive and my old collection of Iomega Zip Disks using my Apple PowerBook G4. The transfers were all accomplished without any problems, and at a pretty fast rate. I've also moved some files from CDs that I've burned, to simplify the task of finding old files. The LaCie is a good looking, compact unit that I hope will reliably store my files for a long, long time. I like the fact that it doesn't require any external power sources when plugged into my PowerBook using a firewire connection. A friend has recommended that I still burn CDs to back-up important files, since the lifespan of a mechanical Hard Drive is less than a CD. But I feel a lot more confident that the files I place in the LaCie will be more safely saved than the files I previously stored on Zip Disks. I highly recommend this LaCie hard drive storage device. On a Mac, it's easy to set up and easy to use.
It's OK.......2007-12-23
After dropping my beautiful, but evidently not very rugged lacie porsche drive and finding that it was instantly dead, I needed a new portable drive with decent capacity to shuttle between the office and home. (I keep an evolving backup on the portable drive, and keep all the machines in sync this way)
The rugged drive seemed like a good bet-- a little expensive and small in storage capacity, but maybe a little more robust than the porsche drive, to fulfill a similar purpose.
The pros:
-- it's quiet
-- both USB and firewire, and bus powered
-- I'm hoping that it's robust to a short drop, but not planning on testing this...
The cons:
-- only in orange. I don't mind orange, but I liked the silver porsche drive, and wouldn't have minded a less conspicuous design for this one.
-- the rubber surrounding is kind of loose, it's really just wrapped around the sides, not very huggy at all. this struck me as totally cheap and disappointing. it's just a little drive in this "scarf", kind of like the bumpers were tacked on as an afterthought :(
-- it gets very hot, much hotter than the porsche drive did.
-- for USB bus power, you have to plug in two USB cables. a real hassle on a powerbook with USB ports on opposite sides. :(
Overall, I'm satisfied with its functionality, but don't find much to be excited about. I had been hoping to see some innovative designs, larger capacities, and price reductions in the portable drive market since the last time I bought one a few years ago, but this drive has very much a status quo kind of feel.
Fast!.......2007-10-18
I am using this drive as an extension of my MacBook Pro. I use it for only two purposes: to hold 80G of iTunes music, and as a scratch disk for Final Cut Express.
When I got the drive, I decided to run an informal test. I moved 6GB of music from my MBP to a USB 2.0 drive. I then moved the same files to the LaCie using the FW800 cable. As should be the case, the drive took exactly half the time of the USB.
It's my first LaCie product. It's fast. It's quiet. I'm happy.
Buy a different drive.......2007-10-17
The drive's performance via USB 2.0 for read and write is way below par for other drives in this price range.
I've tested this drive on my Mac Book Pro and WIndows XP machines and on both platforms, the drive is much slower than my other external drives(G-Drive minis).
It seems that the extra slow 5400 RPM hard drives in this enclosure causes a real performance hit.
I have also experienced on multiple occassions, that the drive didn't actually successfuly copy files over. It would appear to copy but then nothing would appear on the drive.
In the end, I would pick from another vendor.
The cheap rubber thing also doesn't protect the drive. It just looks nice.
Beyond that, this drive is junk.

For select Clarion CE-Net radios, this cable provides a direct audio input from any iPod with a dock connector, and it also charges the iPod while connected. By using the dock connector for audio output, the highest musical sound quality is achieved- much better than any FM transmitter or headphone adapter can provide. The iPod's click wheel controls are still used for song selection, play control, etc.

One of the most persistent challenges of setting up a modern digital audio system is integrating all the various formats and components. Half your music collection may be stored on CD, while the rest is spread between vinyl, MP3, and other formats. That's where the Yamaha MCX-2000 MusicCAST digital audio server comes into play. Not only does the MusicCAST server store up to 40,000 songs on its built-in 160 GB hard drive--making it easy to access your favorite tunes at a moment's notice--but it also converts vinyl records into digital formats while playing XM satellite and Internet radio streams. In short, the MCX-2000 serves as an all-in-one music management system, letting every family member listen to what they want, when they want, at the touch of a button.
Take a closer look at the MCX-2000's rear-panel connections. You can also view the unit's front panel in detail. |
Once the server is loaded with music, the MusicCAST system can communicate with up to 15 separate clients--five wirelessly and 10 wired--to play music throughout the house on virtually any type of speaker system. Want to play music on the bedroom or garage speakers without running speaker wire throughout the house? Integrate the server with a MusicCAST MCX-A10 wireless client and a couple of speaker pairs. The full system will give you full access to the server's massive audio catalogue from anywhere in the home. No more installing a portable boombox in the kitchen or settling for certain CDs because your bedroom system doesn't play MP3s. The MusicCAST system--which is essentially a 16-zone multi-room audio warehouse--does it all.
Music storage is really the MCX-2000's specialty, however. The device includes a CD slot that easily uploads songs to the hard drive in their original quality (around 200 hours worth), or converts them to compressed MP3 files (at 160k, 256k, or 320k compression rates) for distribution to the clients. Listeners can also upload songs via external inputs, such as iPods, PCs, and even turntables. Once the songs are loaded, you can stack your CDs and LPs in the closet never to be heard from again, and spend your newfound free time creating tons of versatile playlists for special occasions, parties, or just to meet your mood. And as with traditional CD players and MP3 players, the MCX-2000 offers a host of other playback options, including old standbys random play and repeat play.
The MCX-2000 stores up to 2,000 hours of music on its built-in 160 GB hard drive. |
The MusicCAST's radio support extends from FM frequencies to Internet streaming to XM-ready capability. To enjoy the full complement of XM satellite radio stations, listeners will need an XM antenna (sold separately) and a subscription to the service. The Internet streaming, however, is instantly available to anyone who connects the MCX-2000 to the Internet, whether through a wired or wireless connection. The server comes preconfigured with five radio URLs, and it's easy to add others to the list.
As an added bonus, the server can also play back music files from a PC that offers Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) compatibility. In other words, PC users won't have to transfer all their MP3, WMA, or other files to the MCX-2000 to enjoy playback through the system. This is especially gratifying for hardcore music fans for whom a 160 GB hard drive just isn't big enough.
File navigation and organization is straightforward and user-friendly thanks to the system's efficient graphical user interface and remote control, which let you quickly scan through artist, album, track, and genre menus gleaned from the CDDB music recognition database. And listeners who won't stand to let a good playlist go to waste will dig the built-in CD recorder, which transfers music at a lightning fast speed to CD for later playback on a car stereo or a friend's system.
Jacks include a wireless IEEE 802.11b/g network protocol for communicating with wireless clients, an Ethernet connection for wired client or Internet hookups, analog and Toslink digital audio inputs and outputs, S-video and composite video outputs for onscreen displays, a PS/2 connection port for connecting a keyboard, and a headphone jack with its own level control.
The MCX-2000 measures 17.12 by 3.75 by 16.06 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.
