Summary: I have to give this drive 5 stars - It has worked flawlessly for me
Comment: There are many different LaCie model numbers. This review is for the LaCie 301199U Big Disk Extreme+ and it works great for my setup. I have had this drive for about 9 months and never had any issues with this drive.
Note to readers: Over the years I have owned LaCie, Western Digital, Seagate and other external hard drives and I have found that the LaCie's are generally better quality than the WD's and last longer. I have purchased a LaCia that was bad out of the box and was replaced with a good drive by the store.
I was looking for a drive that could be both setup on my network as well a bootable Firewire backup system to my MacBook Pro. It performs both functions very well.
The drive is connected to my network as an AirPort Disk attached to an Apple AirPort Extreme router. It supports multiple user accounts for both Mac's and PC's and works flawlessly as a wireless drive with the latest versions of Apple AirPort software and Firmware. Note: This setup didn't work flawlessly on older versions of AirPort Extreme Firmware back in Feb 08.
I now have 2 Macs backing up to it using Time Machine. This took a little research since Time Machine didn't recognize my AirPort Disk initially but once I hooked it directly to my Mac and setup Time Machine all I needed to do was move the file Time Machine created then place the drive back on the network and now Time Machine backs up via wireless.

Summary: Quality Control?
Comment: Received one unit. Hooked it up and noticed "auto" on/off was not working properly. Looking at the box it came in, I noticed a pink "defect" sticker on the packaging. Amazon promptly sent me another unit. When I opened it a screw or something was rolling around inside the unit. I contacted and started a case number with LaCie. I was hoping to get a brand new unit from LaCie, especially since these units didn't pass any type of quality control before shipping to Amazon, but they suggested I get warranty repair....for a brand new unit!
I sent the second unit back also. Amazon made the process easy including sending me the prepaid UPS shipping labels. In the market for a new external hard drive.

Summary: Reliably unreliable
Comment: The only thing you can count on with LaCie drives is that they will fail within a year. Save yourself the money and the headache (I lost two within twelve months of very light use).
Customer Rating:
Summary: form and function in a hard drive.
Comment: LaCie external hard drives are some of the best designed drives on the market. I've purchased a number of drives over the years including Seagate, Western Digital, Simple and LaCie. I have always liked the form factor of the LaCie drives best. They are very clean in their design, which means they are less obtrusive on your desk and easy to stack or stand.
This drive is very quiet, and although it does become warm, it is not hot by any means. The case is solid and they appear to be very well made. They are reliable and the price is reasonable, especially for the 2 terabyte model. The triple interface gives a lot of flexibility. Hard drives are mechanical, and by definition can break down. These LaCie drives are probably as dependable as they come. But make sure to always back up to more than one drive.

Summary: One out of two power converters died in less than a year
Comment: I bought two of these 1 TB units less than a year ago. The "good" one used most often (mostly for occasionally editing video and music) works fine. The external power converter for the other (used for long-term storage) died in less than a year. The power converter was on for months, but the drive was powered off.
When I tried to use the "dead" 1TB drive on an iMac and a PC, it clicked and would not show itself. I could still route other FireWire 800 devices through it. It acted just like the hard drive had died. I tried the FireWire 400 and USB ports on it, but no joy. It just clicked. But when I swapped power converters, the "dead" 1TB unit worked fine and the "good" 1 TB unit acted dead. So it is just a bad power converter. The short lifeo s the power converter is the reason for four stars, not five. I assume that it will be easy to replace.
Moral of the story: if you think that your external drive is dead, check the power unit before dumping the drive.
Other than that, using the FireWire 800 port, the drives are fast enough to edit video in Final Cut Pro on an iMac. The drive is also good for editing music. Chaining three drive on the FW800 ports works well, all are fast.
