 No worries. July 17, 2008

I got this as a backup drive to my other Lacie 500gb. I was lucky to get it at an all time low price of 51.50 which included the expedited delivery from the seller at 8.50. Bargain.
It was just as reliable as the other one when transferring data, but I cannot offer too much more about this product as it's a backup and hasn't even been switched on since all the original transferring.
As for the actual build, it's nice. Slightly smaller than my other HD.
It does get quite hot, and doesn't have an on/off switch and comes again with the small USB lead. I got mine with a UK plug, and I think this would be the case buying from most sellers except for the notorious french based company.
All in all I'm happy, because it works and leaves me with peace of mind regarding having the data of my primary HD now backed up.
Obviously usage is minimal and I'll provide an updtae if and when neccessary should there be any problems down the line, but as far as I can say right now, this drive is as good as any and is usually at a cheaper price than any other same spec HD's.
 If you want a reliable hard drive then don't buy this! June 23, 2008

I had one of these for about 2 months. All went well and it seemed to be doing the job. Then I lost the drive Icon from my PC and discovered the drive was dead and smoke was coming out. I contacted the customer service dept who have been less than helpful. I wanted the drive repaired and the data left intact. I would have thought this would be possible as it had only overheated and the motor needs replacing. Lacie did not want to know. They will repair but will erase all the data (why?). Data recovery is not covered by the guarantee and could cost as much as 500 (nearly 10x the purchase price). Even after asking several times they have not provided any details of how I can return the drive for repair. I have given up with this one and will replace with a Seagate drive.
poor manufacturing and poor customer services June 15, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought 4 lacie drivers since 2002, they all now are dead. They might look good but the manufacturing standard is less than desirable. Try another manufacturer if you can. This is my experience with their customer services: After I had wrote to them that my new hard disk was broken and had lot's of important files on it. And I need to recover the files they said even if I send to their recommended places and paid for the recover that what happens "If the drive is sent a data recovery service and the case is opened then the warranty on the drive will be voided, because the warranty void seal will be broken" so they send you a bad manufacturer driver you pay to recover the files and the warranty is lost. One of their main supplier of Hard Disk is Wester Digital and they have a complete different policy on broken hard disk and recovery files. Bear that in mind when you buy your Hard Disk. Money is not that important when your family photos are gone!
Do not buy from here. May 28, 2008

I wish I had read mr allen prices review before buying this, the drive came with no means to connect to a UK powersupply and I had to go out and buy a european adapter. you order form a UK site you expect UK goods, or at least some warning in the item description. The is the 2nd time I have ordered with pixmania, and the 2nd time I am astonished at their dire lack of service.
The drive , ive used before and it is excelent, but DO NOT BUY from here, check elsewhere.
"Allan price:
I ordered two LaCie drives. They arrived promptly and in good condition, but without any means of connecting them to a UK mains supply.
I emailed the supplier, Pixmania, to ask them to rectify the situation. Their reply contained the words "I would like to kindly inform you that; Pixmania warehouses are based in Paris France manufacturers here in France do not supply us with the UK power cable".
This is irrelevant to me. I live in the UK, ordered via Amazon UK and I expect the goods to be fit for purpose in the UK. "
plug (EU/UK)... May 26, 2008

very good value for money - not that quality is compromised at all!
when ordering it, i was almost put off by reading reviews about it coming only with a EU plug... however, i still ordered it, and it came with a UK plug - so all is fine, dont let it put you off.
have had it for a while and all is fine
