We bought our Porsche-designed LaCie external hard drive around two months ago, essentially to use as a back-up storage device - my other half and I run a graphic design studio so have lots of big files that need to be kept somewhere that's easy access.
Although it's kind of important to us to have something that's good to look at, the most important thing really was price per GB of available back-up space - and this little beauty didn't disappoint! I think we paid around £80 or thereabouts for it which, for an external drive isn't bad anyway, but when it's as well-designed (ie. it looks good and is pretty lightweight too so easy to transport) as this one, I think it's a really good buy.
We do a fair bit of backing up, and subsequently transferring onto DVDs and have had to reformat the drive after removing a load of files to give us back the full amount of space, but that's not too much of a chore and, I suspect (?), applies to any drive on the market.
It doesn't really do any more or less than other hard drives with the same capacity, but it does look good!
