£14 for a 500GB drive - bargain!

"Lacie’s Sam Hecht-designed products haven’t gone down too well with us in the past – we're not sure why anyone would pay a premium for a plain, glossy black box" I don't balme you and I'm f u c k ing incensed, everyone knows black boxes should be matte.

Don't buy a Lacie

I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy a product from Lacie. I had a 2 Quadra external drive where the power supply failed. Easy to resolve? Not for Lacie. It took them 42 days for me to receive a replacement from them. They are the slowest, most unresponsive company I have ever dealt with in my life. Their customer services leads a lot to be desired, they can not be contacted by phone like normal companies can and they do not answer questions raised on the web based support page.

USB cable prone to breaking

I have the Lacie 320 Gig "Little Disk" which has the same retractable USB cable arrangement as the Lacie starck. Unfortunately the cable broke off, the case is not serviceable so unfortunately I had to destroy the case to retrieve the data.
Sorry Mr Hecht the retractable cable idea is a headache!
