![]() The gorgeous, minimalist case was designed by Neil Poulton. View larger. |
But don't think the design is just about looking good. Built to optimize heat dissipation so that it can operate without a fan, the drive is also designed for convenience and portability. At just 4.6 x 1.8 x 7.6 inches (WxHxD) and weighing barely two pounds, it can be easily transported into your briefcase, allowing you to shuttle files between your home and office, or move your work between your laptop and desktop with ease.
More Space for More Media
With an additional 1 TB of disk space, the Hard Disk can store up to 70 hours of DV video or 270,000 or over 1 million photos. Instead of having all this data stored on an internal drive on your desktop computer that can't be moved around, imagine being able to carry your entire digital media collection with you on your travels. You can also use the drive to back up your computer files for extra security.
Fast Performance and Exceptional Compatibility
Using the universal and fast USB 2.0 interface, which offers a transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps, this drive will work with both Macs and PCs. Just plug it in and play it. The drive is pre-formatted for use across Windows and Macs, doesn't require any additional drivers, and is ready to go seconds after being removed from the box. The drive features a rotational speed of 7200 RPM and has a cache of at least 8 MB, providing performance that won't keep you waiting for your files to backup or your media to play.

Great little drive -- cute, too!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: LaCie 301304U Hard Disk 1TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive designed by Neil Poulton (Black) (Personal Computers)
I bought this drive a few months ago after looking at all the compact 1Tb external drives available.First thing that needs to be said is that ALL LaCie drives ARE Mac-friendly (and always have been)! Second thing is that It took a bit of digging to absolutely verify that it would work under Mac OS X 10.4.11 -- not just Mac OS 10.5 & up I liked the size & design of it, and that it comes with its own back-up software, LaCie's "Intego Back-Up Assistant". In my case, the enclosed software discs didn't work but it was easy enough to download the software directly from LaCie (they also have a Pro version for sale that will allow you to make it a bootable disk and also back-up over a network -- it's not expensive, either). The software is simple to install, & setting up a back-up schedule is super easy (I only had to read through the first few pages of the very thorough PDF manual for this). The drive itself is a lovely, sleek, and very quiet little thing that looks great beside my iMac. An added bonus is the fabulous blue "power on" light which also functions as a great little night light in my office. After having this drive for 3 mths. now, would I buy it again? Absolutely, definitely yes!!!

Works well as a Bell PVR,
This review is from: LaCie 301304U Hard Disk 1TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive designed by Neil Poulton (Black) (Personal Computers)
Bought this external hard drive to use as a PVR with my Bell 6131 HD satellite receiver. Set up was easy and quick. Works well with the satellite receiver. Using this in our bedroom and only minor complaints are that the Lacie drive is a bit noisier than I thought it would be and that I had to put a small piece of black electrical tape over the blue light on the drive so it wouldn't wake me up during the night. Overall, still a very good external drive that is very compatable with the Bell 6131 HD satellite receiver.
