Advantages: Capacity, looks, decent manual, cheap Disadvantages: A bit slow, a lot to lose in one go
With people starting to amass more and more data on their PCs, the old methods of backup such as tape or CD & DVD are becoming woefully inadequate. As a result, by far the most cost efficient method for either storing data or backing it up is the external hard drive.
That said, 1TB or 1 Terrabyte is a crazy amount of space and the sort of storage that would have kept a multinational company ticking over nicely ten years ago.
The LaCie (pronounced Lassie, like the dog) 1TB unit is a reasonably basic device that only has a USB2 (although USB1 is supported) interface and comes with a suitable lead, external power supply and software CD. It can work with both PCs and Macs although by default it's formatted for PC use so Mac users will need to reformat it first but that's no hardship really.
On first opening the box, it looks really ...
Advantages: Fast, Reliable, Huge Data Capacity Disadvantages: Expensive
What Is It
The LaCieBigDisk Extreme + 1 TB is a Hard Disk suitable for Macs and Windows. It is for backing up any type of data from your computer like Photos, Movies, Music, Documents anything.
Why Buy It
I decided to buy this after reading another review from a magazine called iCreate which specialises in products suitable for Apple Macs. I bought before a hard disk by another brand but found it was only avalible for Windows so had to send it back. This is suitable for Windows XP/Vista/2000 And Mac OSX 10.8 or later which is very handy.
What Does 1 TB Extreme Mean?
I TB means 1 terabyte. This basically is ALOT of memory. 1 TB is 1024 GB which is the equivelent of-
*270,000 songs (roughly)
*472 Hours of film (Non stop!)
*3.2 Million pictures (again roughly)
*1,000 copies of Encyclopedia Britannica

Advantages: Looks good Disadvantages: Failed after three months and all data lost
I have purchased LaCie products for almost ten years without a problem.
In September 2008 I bought a LaCieBigDisk Extreme 1TB by mail order.
Three months after purchase the disk failed.
After some investigation, it appears there have been problems with both the power supply and the disks themselves. I approached LaCie and described the problem. LaCie posted a new power supply to me free of charge and I returned the old unit.
The disk still failed to work and I have lost all my back-up, including irreplaceable items due to lack of alternative storage.
My confidence in LaCie has been completely destroyed.
If I have the disk repaired the data will be lost. If I pay to have the data recovered it will cost thousands of pounds.
The warranty is not worth the paper it is written, as it does not cover loss of data which at the end ...
