LaCie d2 Network (1TB) review
Verdict
Despite a good range of features, this drive isn't fast enough or cheap enough to warrant a recommendation

What a rubbish product
Backups are hidden in deep menu structure, which doesn't have a logical path
Network backups fail 50% of the time and take half a day to run
Desktop software on occasionally opens and runs, with some menu options not responding
On/Off button has stopped working, so unplugging is only way to switch on and off, potentially corrupting backups.
Sparse instructions
Will never buy from these people again.
