5 out of 5 stars Just what I needed   September 8, 2008
Stephanie Burwell (USA)
This is the second LaCie Brick USB external hard drive I have bought as of yet, and while it isn't fancy or comes with a multitude of special features, it does the job it's supposed to -- backing up both my laptop and my second LaCie brick with room to spare -- with ease and speed.

Setup takes literally less than 5 minutes, and it was plug-and-play right out of the box. I chose not to install the software it came with ("One-touch backup") as I personally have no use for it. It makes hardly any noise if any at all, and the speed at which it works makes it extremely efficient. Not to mention, the design is fun, a space-saver, and adds life to my desk.

I highly recommend this product and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

As with all LaCie products I've purchased,both the design and performance are rock solid.Adding to this the unbeatable price I can come to only one conclusion.I must have another!


5 out of 5 stars great value and cute   July 6, 2008
alex takahashi (ny, ny)
product arrived quickly and is as described. it doesn't seem to get too hot, it's ADORABLE, and it's 500gb for a very low price. i use it as the time machine for my macbook, so i am not sure how the backup software with which it came works because time machine requires the drive be erased before it can be used for this purpose. i recommend this product but cannot evaluate the included software features.


3 out of 5 stars Speed not Too fast, LED does not indicate disk activity   April 5, 2008
gringopete (Milwaukee, WI United States)
Worked right out of the box. Runs a bit slower than my other USB hard disks, but still ok. About 250 MegBytes/sec transfer rate. Windows XP. Comes formatted as FAT32. LaCie website recommends reformatting to NTFS, which helped the speed for smaller files.
Don't like the Red LED. Just indicated unit is running. Does not flash when there is disk activity. Actually, if I look at just the right angle, I can see a wee bit of flashing, but have to have my face close to see it.
Appearance is great. Love the look. Noise is so-so. Quieter than one other HD, but noisier than 2 others.
Wanted to buy another of this style, but will look at other models now..



1 out of 5 stars No way to partition and really bad customer service   October 21, 2007
Pretzel-boy (Puget Sound Region)
This hard drive seems like like a good choice until you open the box and try to create a partition (a simple task for anyone). I am fairly savy with things like this, but a partition simply could not be created. I tried to look at the FAQ and tried to get help from their tech deparment. The only thing the tech people do a Lacie is refer you back to the FAQ....I guess it's cheaper than having real tech-folks on the payroll. So...if you don't need to partition your hard drive or if you think and if you think the only problems you will EVER have will some how be able to be resolved by their FAQ section.....then...I recomend this hard drive
