2 out of 5 stars Good for a year, Died just after warrenty expired........2007-11-16

I had this drive for a year, and it worked great. had all my files on. Used it as a backup for my laptop, and to hold all my pictures, musics, and DVD backups. It did a great job. up until it died. No warning. I plugged it in one day and I hear this clicking noises. I open it up (Voided the warrenty, if it was still under) and took out the HD and tried it in my tower. No luck. Lost my whole movie collection. Inside it was a seagate barracuda IDE drive.
This is a good drive BUT DO NOT COUNT ON IT. and, most importantly, it is not a mobile drive. I'm guessing moving it around to much did it in.
I'm buying a LeCie All terrain to replace it.

5 out of 5 stars LaCie 250GB d2.......2007-09-07

Drive arrived in perfect condition, fired up in minutes and runs like a champ. Transfer times, even for large backups, are as advertised (i.e. brief). Absolutely trouble-free.

1 out of 5 stars Unreliable.......2007-08-31

We have been using 5 of these drives via 800 Firewire Interfaces. In less than a year, 1 is dead, click, click, click dead. Another one gives every indication that it is fine however when a backup is written to it, it crawls. The other three seem to be working ok but I am skeptical as to how much longer before I am replacing all 5. These disks should be more reliable!! I am looking elsewhere as we replace the remaining three that are still working.

5 out of 5 stars lacie d2 250 drive is great.......2007-08-28

I love his drive; it's fast, versatile, set up with a Mac is a snap

4 out of 5 stars Satisfied.......2007-07-23

This hard drive is great. I typically use it with the 800 interface and also plugged into AC power. Some for backup but mostly for Final Cut scratch and it's plenty fast for everything. It comes with three or four cables including a 4-6 pin firewire 400 (1394 or whatever) for the digital camcorder which it a little extra tidbit that's nice. Good product, and I'd rather get 250GB at $130 than 500GB at $400 something, it's easier to move projects around and isn't hard to switch out drives.

        2 out of 5 stars Nice idea, but really only useful as a regular flash drive.......2007-09-30

        I should not expect a whole lot for the price, and what I got was a good flash drive but not much of a useful security feature. The thumb or finger print scan feature just has not been reliable. But it is a good flash drive for a low price.

        For security features, however, it just doesn't compare with my IronKey flash drives that I also purchased through Amazon. Cost a bit more, but very, very dependable features and reliable drives.

        1 out of 5 stars good idea crippled by poor software and support.......2007-08-31

        The fingerprint scanner idea is great but the supporting software is poorly implemented. It wants to save all passwords you type in in a 'vault' so it can later auto-enter them for you. Unfortunately, password saving doesn't play nice with several pieces of software I run; Microsoft Money and Password Safe for example. With these two particular pieces of software, it 'hijacks' the screen and won't let me type in the password. Emails to Transcend asking how to disable the password saving went unanswered. Fingerprint scanner is somewhat difficult to use; I had to scan my finger multiple times to get it to take, although I suspect my technique would have improved with time. Drive is very fast reading/writing data.

        5 out of 5 stars IT'S A VERY GOOD MEMORY.......2007-03-30

        It is the best memory i have ever had to protect your files.
        It's simple to use, and accurate.
        I recommend it, if you need to encript your data.

        4 out of 5 stars great tech for computer-inclined people.......2007-01-01

        First of all, what a great price for futuristic-sounding technology. The fingerprint-scan works great, and for those hard-to-reach places, comes with an extension cord. In case you don't like scan your finger or you have a job where for some reason your hands are prepetually dirty, it has backup plain old password protect.

        WARNING--if, for some reason, you are working on a computer w/out administrator privilages, you might have some problems. Probably everyone has had an experience where they had to "install new hardware" then restart the first time you plug a new flash drive in. if you can't install hardware, you will have to use the public sector, which is another great idea. You can repartition your flash drive to have different amounts of allocated memory for private and public files. I can't, for some reason, access anything I have done at school at home, and vice versa. Hmmm. Still, amazing technology. Recommended.
