Conclusion: Lost files when reboot computer
Review: About 2 months or so after purchasing this product I noticed that many files that I had been storing in it were getting zeroed out and leaving only the file icon with no data. At first I wasn't sure how this was happening or when it even occurred until I went to open the files affected, because the file appeared to still be there. I finally realized when this was happening after one time when I restarted my compute and noticed I had 12G available on the drive due to it being such a significant change. I have had several other 5-10G losses since and am weary of turning my computer off anymore.
When I inquired to LaCie about this issue they told me that I would need to reformat my drive and it should fix the problem. My problem what I'm supposed to do with the 400+G of data I have remaining on this drive that I would like to keep in tact. They don't seem to have any suggestions for that that don't require spending at least another $100 or more. If I was trying to spend that much on a hard drive I would have done so in the first place. Now I'm going to take that $100+ and get a drive from a different manufacturer I guess and toss out this unreliable peice of junk.

Conclusion: Great for PS3
Review: I use this as an external HDD for my PS3. It works great. Since it comes FAT32 preformatted, it connects flawlessly to the PS3 as well as my laptop.
Its been 5 months since I bought it and its been awesome so far.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: GigaValue
Review: I'm old school when an 80 meg hard drive was considered enormous. I can remember paying $200 for 4 meg of memory! 500 gig for under a hundred bucks. Plug into the usb drive and works like a charm. Amazing!

Conclusion: Doesn't meet my expectations.
Review: This is only my second external drive; my first was also a LaCie. I was pleased with my first drive, but I am already disappointed by this new one's features. It has two panels on the front and the back made to look like polished aluminum, but, in your hands, looks obviously like plastic. Also, you would think and on/off switch would be an obvious inclusion, but this drive doesn't have one. And finally, there is no CD inside the package. Instead, all the files are located inside the drive, even installation files. Although I don't need the installation files, I have to wonder what good are installation files when I have to have the drive installed to view them.
