Advantages: none Disadvantages: brokes and burns everything is connected to it
'm a stupid guy
2) I had confidence on raid system (they make back up their own)
3) Never I would have thought that a second Raid LaCie Biggest Quadra Fw800 will broke
Exactly 9 months later the Raid LaCie Biggest Quadra Fw800 stopped working. The message of the computer was that it just can't recognize the device.
At Ktuin store in Madrid the kept the Raid LaCie Biggest Quadra Fw800 for 45 days passing programs to rebuild the volume lost. Also the LaCie sent a new box to put the 4 disks but?. nothing, it keeps not working. They told me that if I wanted to recover my datas I needed to bring it to a recovery lab but I would have lost my warranty on them. I had to choose datas or drives.
Now I'm waiting news from my recovery lab praying that they will be able to recover my photos. The estimate is from a minimum of 1300? (one disk broken) to ...
Advantages: reliable, silent, practical, it's getting cheaper, very good remote, 2yrs guarantee Disadvantages: doesn't support MP4 or MKV
advanced TVs too.
Dimensions are: 68x170x125mm (2.68x6.69x4.92in.)
Knowing that they released updates of its firmware I first plugged it into my computer and followed the instructions to apply the upgrades, it's a very simple process as long as you stick to the instructions, now I don't remember what the updates consisted of but it's good to know that LaCie keeps its products updated! When you plug it to the TV you will see a nice blue menu from which you can select between MOVIES, MUSIC, PICTURES and BROWSE. You can easily create your subfolders from your computer to make some order if you have plenty of multimedia files to archive. Easy enough, once you transfer all your multimedia files from your computer to this hard disk you can plug it to the television and enjoy your films, music, pictures or whatever you put on it. As I said before ...
Advantages: complete connection ports for easy use, Windows & Mac compatible Disadvantages: fanless, may be a heat issue
From my personal opinion, the very first word that will pop up from your head if you heard LaCie... Overpriced..
I mean seriously, what does this brand offer compared to other competitors..
But I got to admit, this Quadra HDD is quite a great offer..!!
Features
Quadra is for Four connectivity that this device have.
1. firewire 400
2. Firewire 800,
3. eSata,
4. USB 2.0.
Each port has its own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on the files you are transfering (size and how many files).
LaCie D2 Quadra is a fanless vertical upright enclosure, so definitely a quiet external Hard Drive. So the cooling of the HDD really depends on the aluminum casing.
The Inside
500GB of capacity should be more than enough to store your favorite movies, musics and your work files. Surely best for backing up your files also. The Hard ...
