LaCie EXTREMELY poor quality, June 27, 2007
By E. Funke - See all my reviews


DO NOT BUY LACIE DRIVES. (My personal opinion based on recent experience - I've had 3 different LaCie drives fail in the last 9 months for no reason).

1) One 80Gb portable (Porshe-design) - simply died.
NO WARNING. Lost a lot of data.

2) My desktop external 250 Gb LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme (w USB2, FW400, & FW800) - fortunately I had enough warning (lots of "clicks of death") I called LaCie tech support to ask if I could put a replacement drive into the casing to save some money - they were very unhelpful - told me they don't do that unless it's under warranty) OK, so I like the styling of the LaCie range so I (stupidly) stuck with them (and before the 250 Gb died), still had the time to buy myself the:
3) 2TB LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme (w USB2, FW400, & FW800).
(very expensive - paid nearly US $1000.00 when it came out)
4 months after I bought it, it started to make strange soft "whirring" noise - Phoned LaCie tech support and they told me it was the cooling fan. I told them it couldn't be (by then I knew the sound of the cooling fan). They told me to give it some time and if the noise didn't go away then to call back. After one month I called back asking for RMA number (for in-warranty swap-out). They refused. They blew me off - the tech guy argued with me on the phone saying I didn't know what a cooling fan sounded like and as far as they were concerned there was no problem. Basically they didn't honor their warranty.
At the beginning of June 07 my 6 month old drive had a hardware failure and died.
I tried everything I could and could not access my data. Basically 7 years worth of electronic filing, receipts, passwords, access codes, my portfolio, 7 years worth of my family photographs, all my iTunes music. All gone.
I have since contacted a local data recovery facility and have had to pay them US $5500.00 to recover my data. (They told me they have a division that specifically works on LaCie drives - go figure).
So buy LaCie at your own peril.

LaCie tech support has been extremely arrogant and dismissive (I went up 3 management levels), and difficult to deal with - even arrogant. I will NEVER buy another product with the LaCie brand name on it,

Erich


LOL

You do realise that that lacie 2TB drive is concisting of either two 1 gig drives or five 500 gig drives, right?

I can tell you they are fucking shit btw. We've got one at work (the 3tb version) and as it discovered that one of the drives wasn't complying to a status call wether it was still healthy, it decided for itself that it should just reinitialize the entire array of drives. All data gone ofcourse. Nobody touched the drives.. it was just there in the logfiles. Luckily we hadn't taken it into production just yet, and we never will after that.

I'm quite sure 5 times 500gb add up to 2500 gb !

Calm down there grandpa..And no, I have never heard of anything called raid5, but I may if I end up spending 25 years behind a computer. My reply was not in anyway meant to be unpolite in anyway at all, I just figured you might have made a typo..You could use a night out.

chill chill... Raid stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks and comes in a few forms.

Raid 0 uses at least two disks and results in spreading a file over several (at least two) harddisks, resulting in performance gain.

Raid 1 uses two disks and results in the exact same data on both disks, for security.

Raid 5 uses at least three disks. It uses 1 disk for parity information so that if one of the drives in the raid 5 array is broken, it uses the remaining disks and the parity disk to re-calculate the missing information on the broken drive.

There are other configurations as well such as combo's of raid 0 and raid 1 and there is also raid 6 and raid 10 etc.. but coming back to my five disks of 500 gig, it would use 1 disk for parity information, leaving 4 disks of 500 gig for actual storage space, resulting in 2tb.

building a fileserver soon for my mediacenter of about 6x 750gig drives in raid5, resulting in about 3.5 terrabyte effectively.. Might just wait a bit with this purchase cuz with 1.5's coming out, prices are bound to drop some more :P

crajsor 12 Jul 2008, 00:22

lol =D, i think theres a "simple" media center known as archos, my mate had one and said it did stuff like that if that helps!

Ronner 12 Jul 2008, 01:08
my current mediacenter specs:

AMD X2 4200+ on Asus A8N-SLI Premium
2Gb Mem
1x 500Gb Maxtor sataII for boot and timeshifting
1x 750Gb Samsung SataII for mediastorage
2x 500Gb Seagate sataII in Raid1 for important stuffz
Silverstone LC20M (black) casing
FloppyDTV DVB-C Digital Cable Receiver with Alphacrypt Cam
47" Philips Ambilight in livingroom
42" LG-Plasma in bedroom

So I don't think I'll be needing some archos device. ;)

How you stream it to 2 tv's ? and what OS you use?
Parent
▼
Ronner 12 Jul 2008, 13:43
OS = winxp pro
and stream what exactly? TV or just movies on disk?
Parent

crajsor 12 Jul 2008, 14:01
http://www.dustinhome.se/pd_5010124770.aspx <- things like this that stream wireless etc movies to TV.

Ronner 12 Jul 2008, 16:18
Nah, my set up is entirely different

I have a PC in an HTPC casing in the living room hooked to the 47" ambilight with winxp and "Team MediaPortal" on it (alternative to windows mediacenter)
and my GF's PC is in the bedroom and besides behing hooked to her TFT screen it's also hooked up to the 42" plasma there. Also running XP with "Team MediaPortal".

All the storage is currently on the HTPC in the living room and whenever we want to watch something in the bedroom it's just on a network drive to the hTPC in the living room.

There is a digital TV receiver card in the HTPC in the livingroom that makes it possible to watch digital TV within MediaPortal and you can simply connect to that over the network from the bedroom as well, so you can also watch digital TV in the bedroom via my GF's PC's mediaportal installation.

So it's quite different than some dedicated media-toy.

as i said its a "simple" device for people who want a quick and easy set up and maybe not good at tech!
Parent

Ronner 16 Jul 2008, 22:11
true, but it can easily fuck up all your data ;)

matz 16 Jul 2008, 22:15
yes it can! but its alot cheaper!!!!!

Ronner 17 Jul 2008, 10:33
All depends. The ARCHOS TV+ 250GB is still 399 euros. For that you get very basic functionality in a closed box that you can't really extend or do anything else with.

Im not really experienced in raid. How much faster than a single hdd, more than twice right? I mean the raid5
Parent
▼
Ronner 12 Jul 2008, 13:44
no. raid5 is slower. The raid that is giving you a performance gain is raid 0 . That is two HDD's working together as one so to speak.
