I bought 3 laCie big disks - 500gb for Rsync data backups, and one of them was flaky out of the box. After transferring a certain amount of data to it via Rsync, I'd start getting I/O errors, and no more data would get copied. After I'd unmount it, it wouldn't be recognized. Had to fight with LaCie support for weeks to get them to take it back for repair (we can't test it using rsync, they said), but they finally took it, and I'm still waiting for it to come back.

Prior to lacie, I've had a near perfect track record with (believe it or not) Maxtor FW drives. I've bought 8 in 4 years, and only had one fail (the first one I bought failed just a month or so ago. 4 year life isn't bad for that price point-- and after the drive failed, it was childs play to crack open the enclosure and throw another hd in there).

Only switched to lacie to get the 500gb capacity maxtor wasn't yet offering. I may yet switch back if their storage catches up to my capacity.

Well after having just lost my 3rd LaCie FW drive (Out of 4) in the matter of 1 year I am ready to try other brands. I would like to throw it out to the list to find out what brand seems to work longer than 1 year. (Sarcasm aside, what brand do you trust?)

On a side note I have not lost any Data as these were used as the back ups.

I like G-technology's offerings but I don't have a feel for their quality over a long period of time.
