Perfect external hard drive.......2007-11-01
I was looking for an external hard drive that was compatible with my iBook G4 and discovered that LaCie products work brilliantly with Macs. The hard drive is super petite and is aesthetically pleasing. I am not using it in conjunction with the Mac Mini, but I could easily see how they would fit perfectly together. In general, I keep the hard drive turned off until I need it but if I were to leave it on it is extremely quiet (to the point I have to ask myself if it is really turned on). The product comes with various length cables, which I appreciated since the small length was perfect for me to just plug and play without a mess of extra long cables to clutter things up. I can't comment on the USB hub since I haven't tried it, but again, I was only looking for an external hard drive to back up a few things. But I'm sure it would be handy for a multitasking user. Overall, I love my LaCie Mini and how easy it was to use. I just wish I had more things to back up so I could access it all the time.
Great product.......2007-10-10
Fits perfectly with mac mini, looks sleek, whisper quiet, and most importantly, it works with mac os seamlessly. Plus, it has lots of USB and FW ports, so it remedies one of the elements lacking in the mini.
LaCie 250 GB Mini External Hard Drive and Hub.......2007-09-05
My purpose for buying this product was very simple: I just needed additional space to store music. The transition could not have been any smoother. I plugged it in to the FireWire port and I was up and running! It operates in virtual silence from atop my PowerMac G4. I have not had occasion to utilize the "hub" aspect of it yet, but I'm not concerned about the prospect of doing so--I believe it'll be just fine!
Pick, pick, pick.... Great unit marred by dumb little things........2007-08-16
Here's a few gripes, most of which are nitpicking cosmetic issues. The aluminum and white plastic case are a near perfect match for the Mini. If you look really hard, the aluminum is just the slightest shade darker and the bottom edge of the aluminum band is slightly rounded, unlike the crisp hard edges of the Mini. But these are minor quibbles hardly worth mentioning. Much more annoying is having this big honk'n ugly logo on the front. Another cosmetic annoyance is the power indicator. It is in the same location as on the Mini, maintaining the overall symmetry, but it is noticeably larger in diameter, is not the same shade of white (bluish not neutral), and light from the indicaor leaks out the bottom of the case onto the table through the cooling vents on the bottom. One surprise, however. I expected not to like the looks of the intentional gap formed between the LaCie and the Mini. None of the other Mini-look-alike external drives have this feature but instead fit flush to the Mini's case. But the cooling slot nicely mirrors the CD slot on the front of the Mini so it actually looks like a natural extension. And I have no doubt that having the extra cooling provided by this gap is a good idea.
A few things to be aware of regarding the hub itself. Having a set of FireWire and USB ports on the sides of the unit make for convenient temporary connection of devices. But I, for one, would not be inclined to use these side facing ports for devices routinely left connected. Instead I'd want to connect 'permanent' peripherals in the back to control the wire clutter. The good news is that when you add this hub to your system, you will still have a net of 4 rear facing USB ports and you'll gain 3 more on the side of the LaCie for quick access for thumb drives, cameras, and the like. But you'll be *trading* your one rear FireWire port on the back of your Mini for two FireWire ports on the side of the LaCie. Bad news if you want to keep a dedicated FireWire device connected to your Mini *and* plug in transient FireWire peripherals.
A set of really short USB and FireWire cables are included for connecting up the LaCie to the Mini. Bravo! Too bad the cables have to cross each other to reach their respective ports on the LaCie, making it just a little more difficult to manage all the wires on the back of both devices. And the one free USB port on the back of the LaCie gets stuck inbetween these two inbound cables making it just a little harder to get to.
The hard drive in the LaCie is indeed very quiet although not virtually silent as the Mini's own internal drive. But the LaCie will automatically go to sleep after a few minutes so what little noise it makes happens only when it is actively being used.
I know, pick, pick, pick. But 5 stars should only be given to products that are perfect or very near perfect. In retrospect I might have been a little happier with just the plain hard drive (300998U) and a seperate dedicated port replicator, placed away from the Mini.
Nice package, good design - runs a little warm.......2007-07-12
This LaCie drive for use with the Mac Mini is a perfect match. The excellent (white) cables of different lengths work very well for various installations. The Mac Mini sits on top of this drve and is designed to allow a clearance between the two for ventilation. I'm glad they are thinking of ventilation because the LaCie unit does run fairly warm. There is a compromise between fan noise and how much cooling you expect to get. This unit is very quiet running and although warm, does not appear to overheat. The hard drive is fast and functions flawlessly although I am not using LaCie's backup software which was included. The additional hub inputs for USB and Firewire are convenient. I would buy this unit again.
