Customer Reviews:
Great for Backups.......2007-12-28
Maybe not the fastest, but for nightly backups this drive can't be beat. It's cheap, quiet, and stacks well. Plus no wall wart (it's a mid-cable wart). Highly recommended.
This drive is great, It should not be trashed by people that expect it to be a USB drive........2007-12-26
After seeing a few complaints about this drive, I looked into it further and found that most of the complaints are without merit.
1 - You are buying a NETWORK DRIVE - these are not compatible with Leopard's Time Machine feature, this is because Time Machine does not support network drives. (Hopefully this will change in the near future.)
2 - The USB connection is really allow you to connect in a pinch, when you have no access to a router. It is not intended to connect and be formatted as a regular USB drive. If you need a local USB drive, get one, its cheaper than this one.
3 - Speed. The only way to get a faster than this, is to dedicate a computer to serving files, Install Mac OS X Server, that would be faster than the embedded server in this device, but at how much more power & cost?
I actually ran a speed comparison with my Mac Mini that is currently running Leopard -- file transfer were nearly the same, albeit the Mac Mini has a laptop drive in it, but it has a full scale G4 processor in it, far more power than the embedded processor in the LaCie drive
The Good Stuff:
1 - This is one of the few NAS drives that supports AFP directly. This is the feature I was waiting for, in order to go NAS. All of the Apple metadata gets stored without loss, Very Very good! I hate having to use an SMB connection to a FAT32 filesystem. That is not Mac, and will never replace AFP.
2. When I installed the drive, I plugged it into my router, opened Safari and opened its web page from the Bonjour list. After setting up all my users and shared, I then popped the CD into my computer to read the manual.
3. This drive does not require additional software on your computer, if your computer can connect to a router, it will talk to this drive.
4. The drive can be expanded, you can plug an additional USB drive into it, that drive then becomes shared also.
The Bad Stuff:
1. The web administration interface is slow, but since I don't plan on administering the drive every day, I don't think its a real drawback.
2. The drive never seems to spin down. Some people like this because its instantly available at a moment's notice, I personally would prefer it to to have a user adjustable sleep timer, to save energy and have less wear on the drive mechanism.
Overall:
Like the LaCie drives I've used in the past, Its in a metal case, it feels solid, and it works well, and its made in the USA!
Also LaCie supports the Mac, as a forethought, not an afterthought.
Lacie 1T Ethernet Hard Disk.......2007-12-22
If you want a reasonably large file server for a SOHO LAN, to use for file sharing or as a central repository for backups, this is a very good solution and it's quite affordable. It's quiet and the set-up was a snap. I'm very happy with it.
Not ready for prime time on Mac.......2007-12-14
I bought this network drive from Amazon for use with a new Mac running Leopard. The IP Config routine that shipped with the disk was out of date and the newest version from LaCie could not connect to the disk via USB, direct (to computer) ethernet, or to an Air Port Extreme hub. Under Network, the drive was tagged as being connected via modem. Nor could it be connected using the Air Port disk Utility. Last, LaCie offers no path to uninstall the code created by their installer. LaCie on-line support folks tried hard to help, but after more than a week of back and forth, I gave up and returned the unit to Amazon. Thank you Amazon for no hassle returns.
Short story: don't by this for a Mac running OS 10.5.1 until LaCie figures out Leopard and does a fix. This drive system was a a real disappointment from an otherwise good manufacturer.
Do NOT buy if you use Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).......2007-12-05
It does NOT work with Mac OS x 10.5 Leopard. Do not buy it! Network speed is extremely slow (more than 10 hours to copy 10Gig) and you cannot use time machine with it. You get no help from LaCie support.
Really frustating, waste of money.
