Honda_Boy Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I was just wondering if anyone has or have used LaCie external hard drives. I just ordered a LaCie 500GB External USB 2.0 Hard Drive Designed by F.A. Porsche. It was the best rated external hard drive in the 400-750GB category on Newegg and was well priced so I picked it. 5 stars with 44 reviews, vast majority good (4-5 stars, mostly 5). It's a real simple looking drive and performs well according to reviews. I've never heard of LaCie but this drive was best rated out of all of them. Most of the WD's and Seagates were 4 star but while reading reviews, I found many bad ones. I found maybe one 1 star review and two 3 stars or something when I was checking out the LaCie. The rest were 4-5 stars with almost nothing but good to say in the reviews. So I think I made a good choice but I'll have to wait until I get the drive to see.Here's a link to the drive I ordered.LaCie 500GB External Hard Drive Designed by F.A.

isteve Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I've been using a firewire version of that drive for a few years. Very solid and it travels in my backpack and has taken some hard bumps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I've been using my external LaCie Drive for probably 2 (almost 3?) years now. It's excellent, can't say anything bad about it. So I'd say you picked well. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Awesome Thanks guys. I just never heard of them but it looked really good. I'm glad there are some on here who have them. Lets just hope UPS doesn't mess it up Edited October 28, 2007 by Honda_Boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 It came in today and I am formatting it right now. It appears UPS didn't mess it up. It's a 1/3 done formatting and it's gonna be a while longer. When it gets done formatting then all my anime from all 3 computers (and all 5 hard drives) will be migrated to it. I'll go to Walmart later and buy another big stack of blank DVD's so I can burn back up copies of completed series. Man it's gonna be nice to be able install my games again.......if I ever feel like playing them. At least I'll have space for Call of Duty 4 when it comes out. Already have my copy reserved at Game Stop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
