Summary: Great external FireWire drive
Comment: This is a great external drive for those who want the flexibility of FW400/800 and eSATA in one unit. It is fast and quiet- mine is on my desk right next to the Mac PowerBook that I use on a daily basis. Bundled s/w is very good and set up is a snap.

Summary: Glitch
Comment: While overall satisfied with the unit I have a glitch that is random in nature. Sometimes when I boot up the system gets hung up in the boot process and freezes. Solution is to unplug the unit and reboot wherein the computer fires up normally. I then replug the unit in and wait for it to happen randomly next time I turn on the system. I have found no reason or cause for this glitch.

Summary: Waited 6 Months to Review - Incredible "Apple-Quality" Drive
Comment: The core of my home media center is an Intel Core 2 Duo Apple iMac with a 500GB drive. I've been a Windows junkie for 15 years and finally gave in to the urge to go exclusively Apple for home media management last Christmas, and have never looked back. Apple TV to iPhone to Airport Extreme ... we're engulfed within the silver Apple, but that's another review. So when it came time to select storage for media and back-up, I didn't have the luxury of buying one with an Apple logo (sans Time Capsule). After a month of research and talking to other home media geeks, I selected these 2008 vintage LaCie Quadra drives. I bought two 750GB drives, placed them side-by-side via fw800, and dedicated one to iTunes media and the other to Time Machine back-up.
They have been running 24x7 for 6 months under heavy use. The iTunes drive has been on almost constantly for the entire house - reading and writing media via several wireless MacBooks, iMacs and, of course, the Apple TV. And the Time Capsule drive has been backing everything up every hour, every day for the last six months. Both drives have done what they needed to do flawlessly with no user intervention. And as others have said, the set-up on the iMac took less than 5 minutes. So this geek is sold on LaCie. They perform extremely well and look very cool next to the iMac. OK, one annoyance, the blue lights on the front are always on and look like two spooky eyes in the dark. Other than that, don't hesitate to make the purchase.
