    LaCie's latest 1TB desktop USB hard disk has a glossy black plastic case, but it picks up fingerprints easily. Despite its huge capacity, it costs just 9p per gigabyte. This disk copied large files quickly, but it was slower than other USB disks we've seen recently at copying small files. However, it's only a couple of MB/s behind, so this isn't a critical flaw.

    Well I needed an affordable backup for all my important files and this fits the bill perfectly. Plugs right in and was recognized instantly. Has a nice power switch so I can always leave it plugged in but I can turn it on only when I need to use it. Cant pass up the nice design either. It looks cool and has a nice under light to show when its on. Does pick up fingerprints with the shiny finish, but really who cares. Read more

    NO problems so far. Used for music/image storage and backup of files. Mac OSX 10.5 I prefer this Lacie hard drive to the 1 TB WD MyBook that I also purchased for extra storage and backup. They were both around the same price but the Lacie is simpler to use (since the WD MyBook comes with software you can't take off the drive). The other Lacie drive I own has not had any problems, unlike some other brands. It came with 10gb of cloud storage for a year. Read more

    This is the 2nd Lacie external hard drive I have had and like the first it appears to have died on me. The first one I bought lasted about a year before it died. This one last a little longer, almost 2 years...and now it is on the fritz. The files will be there one minute and then they will disappear. Do not trust Lacie! This will be the 2nd time that I have lost all of my iTunes music due to Lacie. At least I was smart enough not to save all my photos on it this time. Read more

    Had an issue with files disappearing, could not access a folder. LaCie's technical support was extremely helpful at trying to resolve the issues. Ultimately had to do a reformat, the format failed & the drive inaccessiible. LaCie's tech immediately issued a repair ticket. Within 5 Bussiness Days, LaCie swapped my drive for a...Brand New Drive! Wow!, it doesn't get better than that! Thanks...LaCie! Read more

    The unit is fine for its purpose. My only comment is the set up directions don't work with Lion operating system for Macs. It was an easy work around and the Tech department responded immediately (literally no wait) walked me through it and Time machine took it from there. Read more

    I use this product to store all my photos and videos on and it does a great job for that because of it's large size. The one thing about this product that I do not like is how slow it is to start up when you first turn it on and also for it to wake up. Other than that it is great for the price I paid! Read more

    So far so good. I have now bought two of these and just today ordered a LaCie 2TB. This means that I like them. I am consolidating photos from several lower capacity external hard drives onto this one drive and really cleaning up my desk. Read more
