With such an unbelievably large capacity, the LaCie Big Disk is also ideal for large-scale backup among multiple users without causing network congestion.Twice the size of hard drives currently on the market, the LaCie Big Disk is a unique innovation that offers hundreds of gigabytes of storage space in a portable 5.25" format.Equipped with the FireWire interface, the LaCie Big Disk delivers fast transfer rates of up to 400Mbits/sec to accommodate high-volume environments such as digital imaging, pre-press and post-production facilities. This drive's FireWire capabilities offer unbeatable ease of use: hot-pluggability for immediate device recognition, and there is no software installation required for Windows XP and Mac OS X users. The LaCie Big Disk can also be daisy-chained to other storage devices or with most digital audio and video devices.The LaCie Big Disk features a stylish, metallic design crafted from a sturdy aluminum alloy that dissipates heat, allowing for operation without a noisy fan. A weighted drive stand allows for upright desktop use with perfect stability, while an optional rack-mounting kit enables versatile configuration in standard 19-inch racks. The drive switches on and off together with the computer to conserve energy and provide further ease of use. For added data security, the LaCie Big Disk is also compatible with Kensington-type locks.
Customer Reviews:
lasted 13 months.......2007-12-26
and almost took my feature film down with it. The customer service was unfriendly, unhelpful and led me up a wrong path to data recovery: believing that I could replace the shell and save the drives inside, I bought another one of those ($180) on eBay and took it to a local service who charged me $40 to look at it and told me it was RAIDed and they could not be put into a new shell. I will never buy a LaCie drive again.
A Consistent Failure.......2007-12-18
I have had two Lacie drives. Replaced the first and the next failed also. The drive has issues with either large files or large numbers of files. Could be overheating, seems to get very hot with plenty of ventilation. Who knows?
Save your money, save your data. Life is too short. Avoid this brand.
For Mac User, No Problems.......2007-08-10
I am using two of these drives on each of the Mac Core Duo laptops in my office. We've had these drives for about 5 months and they see lots of use daily. We've never had a problem with them crashing or disconnecting. They are quiet, don't run hot, and transfer video data on 800 firewire hookup fast!
Basically, with the Macs, they were plug and "play". No complaints, no issues.
Disaster.......2007-05-29
How can I describe this - it has crashed and I have lost years of family videos and photos, not to mention music.
Lacie support is poor. Disk Warrior is unable to save it.
Please do not buy this product - if you do you will only suffer for it.
Very very shoddy hardware.
Great for Video and Photo Enthusiasts.......2007-04-30
Compared to Similar Drives:
I've owned the drive for about 8 months, and must say that I've loved it from day one. Similar Raid drives that I've had experience with have either burned out or have noisy fans. I also use the Lacie Rugged portable drive. With my MacBook Pro, I've used both intensely with great results. I've had experience with many other Raid and portable drives.
Cooling and Noise:
Since the hard drives are mounted next to eachother by the skinny side, and not by the fat side like most Raids, they do not generate so much heat for eachother. The drive stays very cool, even after intense hours of running during massive video encoding or batch picture processing. This is also helped since the stress is spread across drives. As mentioned, most Raid's are like a 747 with noise and still stay very hot. This drive is calm, stable, and quite, no matter what you do to it.
Speed:
Even when daisy-chaining two other HD's and a scanner, this thing is still blazing. With a 100gb transfer of pictures, I clocked it at around 80-100 mb/s. When copying and pasting, it makes a light noise, rather than a loud chug chug clack clack from one side of the HD to the other.
Travel and Wear:
As a transient college student, I have traveled many time with this drive with no problems. Its been subjected to cheep air conditioners and heaters, along with very humid dorm rooms. No problems, always ran without a hitch. Even though the drive is thin, it still stays very stable with its heavy metal stand.
Quality:
This thing is a beauty and looks its price. The case and vertical stand are made of solid metal, and you can feel its weight and quality. Its connections are tight and well located. The cooling system is quiet and worked fanastically.
Other Reviews:
Unfortunately with high-end HD's, who are mostly bought by busy professionals, buyers seem to only take the time to review if they've had a bad experience. Would you write your congressmen to tell him you were happy? If you look at reviews of other Raid drives, such as Western Digital, you'll see similar bad reviews, people saying they switched to Lacie. Those drives are genuinely noisy and have other concerns, however. You don't know if people are throwing things on top of them or knocking them around all of the time, or tearrying them out while there processing data. Overall, a great product.
