Customer Reviews

I don't recommend it1
Not only have I had the drive fail after a crash, losing all data, at this point a gig HD is so cheap, I can't think of why someone would buy this today.

LaCie 600GB Big Disk Extreme4
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.

A Great External Hard Drive5
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.
