Wish this had been around sooner

Stylish looking case aside, this hard drive does what I needs it to - and a bit more. The fact that it automatically powers on when I turn on my computer is a plus, so it's tucked out of sight. Quiet and pretty darn responsive (it only lags when I don't access it every five or so minutes - darn power saving feature)
Works well with Mac OS 9 & 10.3 - but then external hard drives from LaCie/APS Tech have never given me much of any problem (this is my fifth external hard drive in 10 years - my storage needs keep on outgrowing these hard drives before they wear out!) I probably should have gotten the 250 GB version, but this seemed to be the best bang for the buck.
The multiple ports are useful too, since I was migrating from an ancient beige Mac with a USB card in it to a newer G4. Just saved all the important information over to it, then plugged it into the new Mac's firewire port. Simple as that. |
