4 out of 5 stars LaCie 600GB Big Disk Extreme.......2007-01-31

LaCie makes stylish and functional products. File transfer rate is very fast with the 800 firewire. Love the storage size, only drawback is the startup time after the disc spins down.

5 out of 5 stars A Great External Hard Drive.......2007-01-11

I ordered two; one for my own computer and one for my younger sister's computer that hasn't arrived yet. They came in the mail three days ago. It is an extremely quiet piece of contraption. I have no complaints about that whatsoever. The only bit of noise it makes is when it starts up and that's it. I was rather surprised! I had expected a little bit more noise than that.

And for such a large amount of space, I am very satisfied with the price. It also does not take up much desk space because I can mount it on the stand and sit it anywhere. However, it is a little bit heavy, but that can't be helped.

So far, I've stored several dozen .AVI format Anime episodes on it and I can watch it from the LaCie without any lag which is great! I have several hundred gigs of episodes left to transfer over. And transfer speeds were great as well! I don't know much technical terms and I'm not a huge techy so I can't go into great detail about every little thing, but it serves my needs, and that's what's important.

It also comes with a BackUp Software which I plan on using very soon.

5 out of 5 stars Lacie 600gb External Hard Drive.......2007-01-03

I read some of the reviews on this item before I purchased it and despite some of the negative reviews I found it to be a pretty reliable product - so far.

I am even considering buying another bigger and better Lacie hard drive.

One of the big items that impressed me is the ability to automatically shut down when the computer shuts down. It is not necessary to push a button etc. to turn it off. When a firewire connection is available on the computer, the transfer rate is extremely fast. Nevertheless, when I am using the USB connection(to standardize my connections), transfer is still fast.

I am glad to have the opportunity review this product

5 out of 5 stars Just what the doctor ordered!.......2006-08-11

I love the Lacie products! I currently have the 600gb external hard drive but I could kick myself for not shopping around for the 1 TB drive.

This hard drive is IDEAL for multimedia storage and for the average person, this is all you should need it for. Just make sure that you have a high speed USB port to run this with to maximize speed of transferring your files. I transferred 150gb of data onto this drive in about 1.5 hours so yes, it transferrs great.

I bought this because I recently bought a nice camcorder and quickly realized that loading 300-400mb worth of video everyday was going to quickly consume my hard drive space and the little 40gb external drive I was using just wasn't cutting it.

I can see myself investing in 2, 3, maybe even 4 or 5 of these Lacie drives in the near future! it looks like it stacks really well!

Do yourself a favor and buy it!

3 out of 5 stars Beware RAID-0 drives.......2006-07-09

Be cautious of using large hard drives like this running in "RAID0" mode, because RAID0 sacrifices reliability for performance, which may not suit the needs of home users (who generally don't religiously back up their data). "RAID" describes standard ways of bundling hard drives. This Lacie drive uses RAID0, or striping. For any given file, half the data goes on one hard drive, and half goes on another. It maximizes storage, doubles throughput speed, but makes the array twice as likely to fail. And when it does fail, the RAID0 striping really complicates data retrieval.

Most home users would be better off with RAID1 drives, or RAID5 if their budget allows. RAID1 gives you several times reliability for only double the cost of non-RAID. RAID5 gives you both reliability and performance, for a few times the cost of non-RAID. RAID1 is supported by most new motherboards, and by Lacie's "Two Big" and "Biggest" external drives.
