Couldn't be happier..
I needed storage for my media and iTunes library, and this drive fitted the bill. It's large and fast, but most importantly for me it looks great. I'm a real fan of brushed aluminium look. It's also quiet, doesn't buzz or make annoying sounds and it doesn't overheat even after several hours of continuous work. …

I purchased mine about a year or so ago and it worked fine in the beginning but now my Macbook Pro does not read the drive when I plug it into the USB port. The drive is whirling away as though it was working but nothing! Have to purchase a new drive to perform backups on and not really happy. …

Excellent portable drive
I'd recommend this drive to anyone who travels often and needs to work with large files. I'm an amateur travel photographer and yo u can imagine just how much storage space I need. I've got two drives like this that I take with me on trips. It's usually enough to backup 7-10 days' worth of work. When I get home, I move the data across to my iMac and process it. USB 3.0 certainly helps. File transfers don't take much time anymore. …

Been through 2 LaCie P'9223's in one month!
My first LaCie P'9223 only lasted for seconds before it failed. Within a few hours I was back at the Apple Store to return the dr ive for another - figuring I just got a lemon. The seond P'9223 lasted about a month before it too suffered a mechanical failure. The drive is now back at LaCie who is trying to recover the data off the drive. They do not cover this in their warranty - and it can cost upwards of $1200 for data recovery. A third LaCie is on its way to me for free from the company (per the warranty), but I will not use it for any data that I can't live without. …

Disappointed...
Had this hard drive for 4 months before it burnt out and left me hanging. Luckily I had an older hard drive running additional bac kups or I'd be lost. I also dislike how the cable connection is on the side close to the front of the drive as opposed to the back as you find with most other portable hard drives. This makes it hard to store/stack with other hard drives and you've got a loose cable sticking out the side. …

I have a MacBook Air and need an affordable external drive to create backups, play DVDs, and install software. Will this work?
- Asked by Signe K from Cape Coral
- 19/01/2013
Answer
Yes. It is not a DVD drive, though. It is fine for backups and general file/folder storage, viewing photos or videos that you have stored on the drive.
You'll still need a separate DVD drive (Apple's SuperDrive for example) if you wish to play DVDs. …- Answered by Mike M from Beaverton
