1 out of 5 stars Stay away from this brand!!!.......2007-03-29

I decided to buy three of these drives after seeing the great sales price. It is just a few months down the line and only one of the drives works. The others? Blank! I've tried everything I know to recover my files and still nothing. What I thought was a great price was simply money thrown away. I use many many external drives with few problems. Two drives down out of three? Not great odds in my book.

1 out of 5 stars not worth the stress.......2006-09-09

I bought this drive 11 months ago and was using it frequently without any problems. I would take it to my digital darkroom plug in there and wouldn't have any problems. I would take it to a number of friends houses and no problems there either. I was extremely careful and never dropped or banged the machine around. Then a few days ago I plugged in and....nothing...I went to my digital tec friend at his work and he tried it on all the computers there and still nothing! I had my entire life on the drive and now I have to pay$$$$$$ a hefty sum to get my drive recovered. As I told people about this most seemed to know someone that this has happened to with a Lacie Drive. My advice: If you value the information that you are storing on a hard drive do not trust this Lacie!

1 out of 5 stars Avoid Lacie drives..........2006-08-16

I had better luck than many of these reviewers. My 160GB Lacie P3 drive lasted a whole 60 days before it died. Fortunately, I was able to remove the hard drive from the dead enclosure and retrieve my data.

3 out of 5 stars Problems with "unformatted" disks.......2006-05-20

I am a longtime user of LaCie products, having been enticed firstly by the attractive D2 casing. In every case, the completion of my music collection is the signal for the drive to fail--aggrivating, certainly. I tried wonderful symantec recovery products, but I found after much research that what happens is that the firewire bridge burns out--this is largely due to the constant back and forth traffic using music programs like iTunes. A new firewire bridge costs about 149 dollars, but you can actually open the drive housing and put the physical, naked drive into a new housing--these run from 9-14 dollars brand new on most sites. I did this with mine, and was able to recognize the HFS+ volume again, just as if nothing had happened! The drives are good quality, but whoever supplies LaCie with their firewire bridges is obviously not a first-rate manufacturer. I hope this helps, because I know first hand how dumbstiking it is to lose so much data without apparent cause.

2 out of 5 stars Failing without warning........2006-03-18

The drive worked totally fine one day, and after 3 hours or so it was rejected by various macintosh computers.
It started making mechanical noises and after using every means possible I could only recover 8 GB worth of data.

I'm a student where many people in our department were recommended to purchase this particular model, and I don't know a single person who didn't have the same experience with it.
Don't buy it if you want to keep your data in this for more than a year.
