So far I like this product, except for one minor complaint, which I'll get to in a bit.
I like how the on light is a little glowing X projected right in front of the drive. I like the silver front. I like that this is sturdy.
I copied a 19.3 gb file from my laptop, and it took 16 minutes. I watched a DVD file from the drive, and it seemed to play OK. The voice seemed to be just a microsecond off, so I watched it from my laptop drive, and it was synced a little better.
The case has sharp edges, and the metal is stylishly rough. It's a little darker grey than the picture. You can only stack 2 of these, but since I only have 1, that's just fine. I also have a Western Digital 1 TB My Book drive that is going to stand on top of this so that I have my bank of hard drives and gaze at it in absolute nerdvana.
There is a nifty little feature that took me forever to figure out because the instructions aren't very clear. There is a touch pad on the front of the drive that you can program to do various things like open Firefox or your Kindle for PC app. Right clicking and dragging the icon over to the Desktop Manager will do it, but I didn't find anything that tells you that. For the frustration this caused, I'm knocking off a star. Well, I'm knocking off half a star. A little bit gets knocked off because there's this LaCie Desktop Manager file that I can't close. Minimize, sure. Close, no. A little more because of the sharp edges and the very short USB wire, and there's your 4-stars.
This seems solid - I wouldn't want to drop it, but I'm not worried about accidentally hitting it with something. Except for the Desktop Manager thing, it's easy to use and set up. The price is decent, especially considering how sturdy this is. I don't think it's as elegant looking as the company thinks it is, but it's a nice drive. And it holds a whole lot of stuff.
