I am not sure what else can be said, the drive died after 2 years of moderate use. I used it as a back-up solution for my photography and video files. It was not in heavy use at all. Bummer. I think I'll stick to Western Digital drives.

Had this for about 2 1/2 years. Used with a Mac to save iMovie projects. Started having problems with it mounting. Would have to push really hard & twist the power supply cable where the connector was for it to get recognized & now it doesn't get recognized. Not knowing what the problem was (enclosure SATA interface vs. power supply cable problem) I debated with getting a new power supply cord ($20+$10 shipping) from Lacie website or just buying a new USB SATA external hard drive enclosure ($20). I opted for the 2nd option, removed the Seagate 500GB drive from the Lacie enclosure & fortunately all my data was recognized & did not have to reformat. Lacie Porsche was a nice looking enclosure but what's the point if it doesn't longer than a few years?

I'm done with LaCie drives. The power bricks are the Achilles heel of Lacie peripherals. I've had 2 hard drives and 2 optical drives at home. The power bricks have all failed within 3 years. At work we have a backup server with 6 Lacie 1TB drives. We have gone through a dozen or two power bricks. Every time one goes bad the drive unmounts or has errors and the server hangs. That is totally unacceptable in a mission critical system. Sometimes the drives get data corruption when the power supplies fail. I would advise everybody to avoid Lacie products like the plague, unless you can find a more reliable power source. Their products look cool but power bricks are low rent. A proper drive has a built in supply and an IEC power cord. Not a cheap power brick. I'm spending the extra money for Glyph drives in places I can't afford frequent failures.

Coming from a Mac publishing environment where only Lacie is used, I purchase Lacie at home, too. I have this 500 GB drive, a networked 320 GB drive, and a dual layer Lacie burner. I purchase Lacie because they have a two year warranty on their product, great tech support, and they stand behind their product. These 500 GB drives have a problem with their power supplies, but Lacie will be happy to ship you a new one. Their drives work great with both Macs and PC's. The true measure of a company is not how perfect their product is, but how well they handle things with something goes wrong. Lacie does a wonderful job with their website, customer service, and warranty support. Thanks, Lacie!

It is dissapoinying to read many reviews where they speak of whirring or drive dying. This will happen, but Lacie is great about sending a replacement power supply. Works great after receiving the replacement. Otherwise great HD.
