solid drive for the money.......2007-10-04
Great drive, no cooling fans but I dont leave my drive on for extended periods of time. I use this drive for editing on final cut pro and I have had no problems.
Sleek black finish and nice carrying case included. For the amount of space, this drive is a great deal, with the firewire connectivity, this drive is a steal.

Stay Away from Buffalo - products fail miserably!.......2007-08-14
In short, the 'auto-sleep' software accompanying this product crashed my system and has never worked. That feature is why I bought it. I spoke with Tech support and they assured me that no matter WHAT was wrong with the drive it had to be my system's fault. I've worked on a tech support hotline for pc's for over a year and can assure you the tech support folks have no intention of assisting you in any way other than denying it's their product's fault. I'd encourage you to call Bafallo tech support and run this one past them before you buy this product. None of the packaged software (backup software and auto-off software) work. Buy a harddrive from a reputable dealer in stead (Western Digital, Maxtor or FreeAgent/Maxtor).
DO NOT BUY FROM BUFFALO..........2007-07-20
... if you like being treated with respect, if you like honesty and integrity in a company, and if you like expeditious rebate programs.
I am a detail-oriented, somewhat anal-retentive computer geek. After carefully submitting rebate information for a Buffalo hard drive, I was told lies and faced nothing but incompetance from Buffalo.
THE LIES:
-- I was sent confirmation of receipt of my rebate submission several WEEKS after I had mailed it. The email read as though they had just received it.
-- I was told that I had not properly submitted all the information, and needed to resubmit copies.
INCOMPETANCE:
-- There were two rebates for the product, one required a UPC cut-out, one did not (it required a copy, since there is only one UPC Proof of purchase on the box). Nevertheless, I was told I needed an original UPC/POP for the second rebate. Only after phone calls, email, and snail mail, was my rebate approved.
All in all, it was over 3 months before I received the first $25 rebate, and 6 months before I received the second. Had I known the trouble and hassle, I NEVER would have gone with Buffalo.
My Comp-USA (generic) external hard drive which is older than the Buffalo performs more dependably. Also, the back-up software that comes with the Buffalo is a joke -- totally "Mickey Mouse". By the way, they will admit nearly this much. Why include such poorly designed software anyway? As a selling point on the box / ad, I'm sure.
WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE:
Never to do business with Buffalo again. The lies and incompetance were not just the mistakes of a few, I believe that they were the result of DELIBERTATE COMPANY POLICIES STRUCTURED SO AS TO AVOID PAYING OUT REBATES.
Why go with a sub-standard brand like Buffalo anyway -- to save $10? I wished I had paid a bit more and gone with one of the more experienced, dependable manufacturers: SeaGate, IOMEGA, Maxtor, Western Digital, etc...
Why did I give two stars and not one? Well, though not as dependable as my other drives, the hard drive does still work after well over a year. I have to give it a shred of credit.
4 Mos and Going Strong.......2007-04-08
Outside of building your own this is a decent cheap solution. I've had 2 of these in operation for the last 4.5 months! They're going strong, quiet and there have been no issues thus far. The Memeo software was miles ahead of the usual ENC\Dansk Retrospect and as much as I like to script backups, my clients prefered the Memeo.
No problems what so ever.....

Talk About "Planned Obsolescence".......2007-09-20
Looks like LaCie has perfected the concept of "planned obsolescence" with this hard drive. I'm apparently just another in the long line of disappointed consumers whose LaCie drives failed for no reason just after the warranty expired. My only hope is that enough reviews like this will prevent another misguided soul from purchasing these drives and ultimately losing important data.
When it first failed to mount (out of the blue), I did a little research to see if anyone had a similar experience and knew how to "resurrect" it. It lights up and you can hear what sounds like a disc spinning up to some extent inside the case, but nothing has gotten it to work again. I am truly amazed at how many people had the same or similar experience with various LaCie drives failing at random. None of the earnest tips I read ever worked, and now it's literally become a "book-end" on my side table.
I was using it to store data as I was migrating from an old computer to a different one. It died before I got to transfer most of the files.
Be glad that you read this and similar reviews - Do yourself a favor and don't buy this product. Be sure to always read reviews before parting with a good chunk of your hard earned cash.
Still going strong after 2 years.......2007-07-12
I purchased one of these drives in March 2005, to use for backups of my PowerBook and as a place to hold my iMac's iTunes library. I later supplemented it with the smaller LaCie Porsche 250 gig drive, mainly because I needed two firewire ports (this drive only comes with one). It has continued to serve as a backup drive for my external iTunes library and as a boot drive after the hard drive failed on an eMac I was using. All in all, it's been a solid, reliable drive that has given me no problems in the 2+ years that I've used it.
Uh it's an external hard drive..........2007-02-27
So I was reading quite a few of the bad reviews. The only commonality I found is that almost every incident where something happened (other than total failure) was completely caused by the owners. I have owned a LaCie 250GB hard drive for about two years. I have probably been rougher with it than I should have and use it constantly because I edit film and sound on a regular basis. The fact that you can link them together is extremely attractive because you can easily expand your storage based on your needs. It has worked flawlessly regardless of my abuse and I will be happily buying two more soon. Also, it's a no brainer that the drive will be formated for Mac OSX or Windows, unless you partision the hard drive. I love the review where the owner is aggrivated about not being able to use it on his Dell after using it on his Mac. LaCie is an industry standard as far as I am concerned and you need to be willing to aknowledge the risk of saving files on an external device whether it is a RAID or a CD, the brand has nothing to do with it.
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.......2006-06-10
This device has worked superbely for almost a year now, it was fast, had a lot of storage and looked up. Unfortunately however one large problem cropped up. It stopped. I can no longer access the drive and I have no idea what was wrong with it. It was almost full of data and I fear I have lost all 230GB of it. It will take months to regain what I have lost. Despite how desirable it looks surely reliability must be the formost priority. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!
All data lost, can't trust this drive .......2006-01-29
Used the drive for a couple of months. Yesterday, all data where lost. My PC did see the drive and that was all: Disk space: 0 bytes, etc. couldn't access the drive anymore. There was only one solution: re-format the drive.
I've read other comments from peaople encountering the same problem. I still don't know (like the others) what went wrong: very disappointing.
Now I have a drive, just a few moths old, which I'cant trust.

tough love.......2007-08-23
hard to get on and off, but did the job! need to take off when using some mp3 player adaptors like speakers or in the car.
Nano Cover.......2007-02-21
Well to start off, the positive about this product, the material its made out of is really durable, and i like it, it really does protect your nano, they were easy to put on and the screen protecters are great, but the negative,and why i gave this product one star,but if i had to give it no stars for being such [...] than i would, it doenst fit the nano right, it doesnt cover a great portion of the bottom of the nano, you really have to fight to get to the hold button, part of the cover hangs over on the screen so its hard to see what your looking at and since its too small for the nano the cover also hangs over on your selector which causes it to push the buttons on it, so u could be listening to a song and then it shuts off because the cover is pushing the button! honestly i will be returning this item, it is durable to make it thu a year in in iraq, but the bottom half of my nano will be ruined! dont waste your money on this product
Best Nano Cover?.......2006-11-15
Let me start by stating; You need to cover the Nano. It gets scratched, worn and ugly very quickly without a case and this case covers all the bases; moisture protection, improved grip, scratch resistance, drop protection, access to controls and ports. I have tried a few covers for my Nano, this has been my favorite. The "dirty half-dozen" reasons to buy:
1. tight fitting cover that does not slip off (I have had this happen with leather covers)
2. rubber material assures good grip even with sweaty hands (do you work out with your nano?)
3. hard plastic cover for screen really protects and lasts a long time (the soft vinyl covers offered with most other cases scratch and tear rather easily)
4. A three pack! (Share with friends and family? change your clothes? change the case!)
5. Excellent price/value (compare with other products out there you will see what I mean)
6. Looks good, does not spoil the Nano's visual appeal (important since we all love the look of our Nano, no?)
I highly recommend this product.
Perfect protector.......2006-08-31
I find this protector a perfect one.
Protects both the iPod and its screen very well.
Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find it too difficult to install on my iPod.
ipod nano covers/screen protector.......2006-07-25
I liked everything about the Cover/Screen Protectors, except that the clean lense cover doesn't stay till your ipod is in the case holding it in.
