I attached this 1-TB USB external drive to my 2.8 ghtz IMac. The setup was a snap, but the included utilities wanted to take the whole drive as a single partition. I used the Mac's disk utilities, and created two partitions. This way, one partition can now be used for Time Machine (which by the way, will keep backing up until the disk is full, then begins deleting the oldest files), and another partition that is used to back up my Linux server.
The rest of the setup was fast. The Mac found the drive quickly, and so did Time Machine. The Time Machine software asked me which partition I wanted to use, and once that was decided on, Time Machine took off, and has been backing up ever since. How simple is that?
Also, most of the specs I read on this drive show a cache of 16 mb, but the drive as delivered, much to my pleasant surprise, has a cache of 32 mb. Even with the USB connection (I think firewire, which is available on some other La Cie drives, is about 15% faster), I found the file transfer time more than acceptable. I have run video from the drive with no issues. Also, I often transfer rather large photo files, and graphic images to and from the drive, and again no issues.
All that being said, for the money, the drive is hard to beat. |
Beautiful & solid design

This was purchased as external backup - it's quiet and lovely. The blue LED reflects off the surface (desktop) so you know when it's in use. Easy to use backup software included, but not robust enough for a power user or tech-geek (use cobian!).
The USB cable is kinda short, about 8", so if you're not planning on placing this directly next to or on the box you're backing up plan to purchase or use a different USB cable. |
Great Hard Drive

| Very sleek design. Be aware this model is usb only, if you want firewire there is a different model, same design. I only needed usb so i am quite pleased. |

I bought one of these about 9mo ago. Worked great and was happy with it. About 3 months ago I was in a flood (3ft of water throughout the house). When we realized what was happening I quickly unplugged the hard drive (which I used for back ups) and my husband and I got out. Can't be happier that I got the drive and was backing up my PC. There was no chance to carry the whole PC out.
But to top it off I had left the cords (power and to PC) behind as they were already submerged. I couldn't figure out the correct power cord to purchase. La Cie's customer service (by e-mail) was GREAT! and promptly sent me out a new cord. I'll buy from them for my drive needs in the future just based on their great service. With all the things we had going on it was nice for one thing to go right. |
cool-looking piece of gear

| Ordered this, it arrived quickly. Worked right out of the box and looks cool sitting on my desk. Transfer speeds are limited by USB 2.0, so if you want faster data transfer buy the version that has something like 4 more connection options. I'm cheap, so I went for the budget version of this drive. It's suited me perfectly so far. I'd definitely recommend. |
