LaCie 500GB Gigabit Ethernet Disk mini
The 500GB Gigabit Ethernet Disk mini from LaCie is a high-capacity drive with an interface that allows it to be connected to your network via Gigabit Ethernet or USB 2.0.
When connected via Ethernet the drive has a variety of security options that lets you control the data that users can access. Connect the drive via USB 2.0 and it acts just like any other external hard drive, giving you extreme flexibility in how it is used. The drive also features an additional USB 2.0 port for storage expansion and sharing.
Regardless of how you plan to integrate it into your workspace, the drive is an excellent solution for video editing, high-resolution imaging, data backup or general storage.
- 500GB Capacity
- 500GB of capacity allows for storage of approximately 37.5 hours of uncompressed DV digital video, the equivalent of 106 4.7GB DVD-Video discs or up to 125,000 MP3 files.
- Ethernet Interface
- The standard Ethernet interface allows users to access data and administrators to administer the drive remotely through a standard LAN connection, making it easy to add to your existing network infrastructure.
- USB 2.0 Interface
- The drive can also connect to a computer using a USB 2.0 connection. This allows it to be used as a standard external hard drive using the TCP over USB protocol. 1
- Secure
- When using the Ethernet interface the drive administrator is able to set share levels and user permissions to control exactly what files network users are able to access, making it a great solution for sharing data in small work groups. The drive can even act as a server for UPnP-compliant media extenders.
- Expansion and Sharing
- The drive features a dedicated USB 2.0 port for expansion. This port allows you to connect an additional external USB 2.0 hard drive for network data sharing. This lets access data from an existing external drive via Ethernet.
- Compact Size
- The drive's 1.7 x 6.3 x 6.8" footprint makes it ideal for users with limited desk space.

Comments about LaCie 500GB Gigabit Ethernet Disk mini:
I tried to make it work with Mac OSX 10.5.6 Time machine but
failed. The technical support from LaCie cannot help to resolve the problem. It seems to be a known problem that Time Machine doesn't support network drive other then Time Capsule. Otherwise it is good network drive at this price range.
