1 out of 5 stars died after 11 months of home use.......2007-12-21

I liked my Big Disk Exterme with its three interfaces (USB 2.0, Firewire 400 & 800) for its speed. I was slightly annoyed by the constant noise it generated when running. After a few minutes of inactivity, the drive spins down. When idle, it needs about 15 seconds to spin up again.

After 11 months of light home use, one of both disks inside (Hitachi Deskstar HDT725050VLAT80) stopped spinning up, rendering the device useless.

If you ever notice an interrupt in its spin-up sound, do not switch it off. Connect another hard disk and copy over as much as possible. After I first noticed the irregular spin-up sound, the drive died within three days.

1 out of 5 stars Failed LaCie Big Disk Extreme.......2007-12-14

It failed with in a month and a half. I didn't have a chance to back up the last 2 photoshoots and travel images I took and lost them. LaCie tells me it's my fault for not backing everything up. What's the point of their product then if they say it's going to fail anyway!? They include a disk in the box that says "data recovery" on it, then when you try to use it there is nothing about data recovery! Then they refer you to Drive Savers and it costs $4000.00 for data recovery!! I can't get by money back. So now they are going to "repair" it and send me the same bad product that I don't trust. I have no recourse.
DON'T BUY LACIE!!

5 out of 5 stars couldn't really ask for more.......2007-12-03

this is an excellent external drive. I do video and media editing, and use these drives extensively (I have this 1 TB as well as a 2 TB). Working off of a Mac, having the firewire 800 connection is great. the build is sturdy - can't complain about the looks - I guess they would be more industrial than "stylish" - but that's ok, it gives the impression of dependability - which it's lived up to so far.

I can highly recommend it for anyone needing fast, external storage.

1 out of 5 stars Not reliable.......2007-11-30

I've had a LaCie Big Disk Extreme for about 4 years now. For the first 2 years it was fine, then it started losing connectivity and shutting off. LaCie said it was a power supply problem (which I read about online as well, it's been a problem with this model) and replaced the power supply for free as a "one time courtesy". Six months later it started making strange sounds and losing connectivity regularly again. Customer service said it sounded like a power supply issue again, and would not replace the power supply for free again b/c I already got my "courtesy" free one. I bought a new one, and it didn't fix the problem. I haven't lost data yet, but I bought a new Western Digital drive and transferred everything to be safe. I no longer trust LaCie, and you shouldn't either. Backup drives are too important to have regular failures.

1 out of 5 stars Stay Away from this Drive.......2007-08-09

I've owned a 500Gb and 4 1TB. Of those:

500GB - Failed after 1 yr. and is unreliable.
1TB - Failed after 8 mo. Only 500GB is now available.
1TB - Failed after 8 mo.. Cannot be mounted.
1TB - OK after 1 yr.
1TB - OK after 8 mo.

3 failed drives out of 5 is very bad. Dealing with LaCie support has been extremely slow and they have been arrogant.

            Today' s distributed enterprise is seeing larger, more complex applications, an increase of mission-critical data moving to the server, increasing demand for transaction processing and critical server consolidation. In this environment, storage has become a critical component of the information system, significantly defining both the systems reliability and performance. This is why Compaq drives undergo an intense qualification process that eliminates data integrity problems, firmware and O/S incompatibilities and other causes of data corruption or premature failure. All drives are proven to perform in the Compaq systems for which they were designed.Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 hard drives are compatible with Compaq Fast-Wide, Wide-Ultra SCSI-3, and Wide Ultra2 SCSI controllers, but will run at Fast-Wide speeds if used with Fast-Wide controllers. These Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 drives may also be combined with Fast-Wide SCSI-2 drives on the same SCSI bus. Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 drives use the same cables and connectors as Fast-Wide drives. Wide-Ultra drives provide enterprise-level performance and continued support of the existing ProLiant-style hot plug drive tray.
