Installation was a problem: the internal formating software (no CD) did not function, and had to be downloaded from the website. Then one of the 2 software packages did not work on my PowerBook G4. LaCie's tech help finally gave me a link to the previous version, which does work. Now the product works seamlessly, and I am very happy with it.

Really no other choice
Although this is replacing one of the same size and brand that went south in two years, I just don't trust any other brand.

Great drive. Set up is simple. Out of box,to up-and-running time was about 5-10 minutes. Great for photo storage. My first LaCie 250G is still running flawlessly for four years, now. Just needed additional storage space.

Comments about LaCie 1TB d2 Quadra Hard Disk Drive:
I found this drive very easy to set up with my mac. I installed the software, but am really using it as my back up drive in Time Machine and so far it works great, is quiet, and the case with heat sink is very sturdy. Time will tell, but my initial impression is very favorable.

Comments about LaCie 1TB d2 Quadra Hard Disk Drive:
I always buy these drives. They are very reliable, especially when I edit and make duplicates of footage. I highly recommend them. I would of given it 5 stars if it were 7200rpm instead of 5400.

Comments about LaCie 1TB d2 Quadra Hard Disk Drive:
We have used Lacie hard drives in a school environment for several years now. They are dependable, accept multiple firewire and USB connections and perform consistently on a regular basis. Would be better as 7,200 RPM but the 5,200 works just fine.
