I bought the hard drive in summer of 2007 and it has been almost a year without much difficulty. The only thing that I am worried about is the power button because it is a button and not a switch. Besides that everything else is functional and it has kept everything that I have stored on it. Something that you should know when buying an external hard-drive is the amount of data stored. It is going to say 500 gigs, but it is actually 465 gigs because of the amount of bytes. Search online for more references.

I have had this device for barely 3 months before it stopped working. Went to LaCie website so I could contact tech support, there was no number. Finally, I had to submit a trouble ticket, which is the only way to get help. It took over a day to get an email response that suggested I unplug the device and restart the computer, try a different LaCie ac adapter, and try a different usb. I found this to be completely useless. It was all common sense and stuff that I had put in my trouble ticket, with the exception of a LaCie AC adapter, who has an extra one lying around? I respond immediately and it took another day to get a response. Finally after I expressed how dissatisfied I was they sent me a pdf authorizing me to ship it to them at my expense so they could fix it. I also found through researching their web site that these devices are not designed for PCs, you cannot download the drivers to reinstall if necessary unless you have a MAC or Windows 98.
