The drives inside the enclosures are generally fine, but the LaCie hardware has been problematic. I’ve had enough LaCie drives die on me over the years that I now just avoid the brand altogether.

Ya know I'm having the worst freaking luck with external drives. I got 5 of them sitting on the shelf next to me, each a different brand, each has broken down at one point or another. I got one of them 2 TB LaCie things last month, filled it up (Raid 1) and then last weekend the computer refused to mount it. Pulled out the drives, hooked them directly into the PC, and luckily all of the data is still there and the drives themselves check out okay. So now I gotta get the box itself swapped out. Argh. Welcome back.
