Advantages: Probably the biggest drive for consumer use Disadvantages: Takes some time to defragment or format
...The LaCied2 ‘Big Disk’ is the fastest and biggest external hard disk drive that I’ve ever seen for consumer use.
I handle so much data for the three businesses that I run that I needed a back up drive that could handle everything I had.
This meant backing up entire, built in, drives and imaging them to the LaCied2 ‘Big Disk’ (as they now call it). LaCie now manufacture even bigger capacity disks but they have a price to match, this one is available at around £250.00 on-line.
It’s heavier than you imagine when you actually get to take it out of the box, but what superb build quality, so solid and robust.
It runs quietly as the casing acts as the heat sink, no noisy fans. Only when you’re transferring packets of data do you occasionally hear the faint sound of disk access.
A blue ‘on/off’ button is the only control built...

Advantages: So easy to set up Disadvantages: Firewire not the most popular port
...I chose an external harddrive over an internal drive as when I chose it my pc at the time had the maximum number of harddrives, which would fit in my pc. However I still needed space and felt it was a waste to take out a smaller drive to replace for a larger one so as a last resort I looked at the external option. It was then I saw LaCie and the d2 range and I knew I had to have it.
I looked at higher capacity LaCiedrives, but at the time I purchased it, the 120 Gb was the highest one, which also seemed to have a reasonable and worthwhile price. Now after owning for over two years I still find it ample space!!
I found the drive simple to connect, I only had to load on the software (drivers), plug it in and follow the simple instructions and it is completely formatted to your chosen specifications. Also once it has been formatted...

Advantages: Fast, Reliable, Huge Data Capacity Disadvantages: Expensive
...What Is It
The LaCie Big Disk Extreme + 1TB 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 1TB Extreme Mean?
I TB means 1 terabyte. This basically is ALOT of memory. 1TB 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
I'm just trying...

What with all the videos and photos I had on my mac, I needed some good back up storage. I was recommended to go for the something in the Lacie range. For me the d2 Quadra 320gb was an excellent choice. It won't lose data the way some of the ones with more
I like the ease of use of this hard drive, especially the shortcut button which allows any application to be launched with a touch of a button.
