I have been buying LaCie 2.5" disks for 3 years now, and have never had any problems with them. I even bought a 500GB Rikiki last October and use it everyday, mainly for watching videos on my Xbox 360.
However, in the last week I have had to return a bad drive that died after 4 days, and the replacement for that very drive, which died after only 30 minutes! I haven't used them any differently than all my previous drives, so simply chalk it up to being a bad batch. The actual disk in both dead drives was made by Seagate (Model no. ST950032 5AS), yet all my previous LaCie's have Hitachi disks.
Basically, if you get one with a Seagate disk be sure to back up your data. I was very lucky not to lose anything that wasn't backed-up elsewhere.

I have one of the original MacBook Air's....the hard drive was going to be a problem over time but not anymore. This little drive is tough, well made, very small and works a treat. I'm using it for Time Machine and file storage....you can't go wrong for you mobile Mac....

Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm using one with a Windows machine and it works very well. Design is small and light and as it does not require an external power supply (with bulky transformer) it really is as sleek as it looks.
The USB cable it comes with is very short, which is really good for use with a laptop (no surplus cable length messing up the desk) but not suitable for convenient use with a desktop computer.
One tip: plug it in, browse to the disk and then run the setup program. This formats the disk and gives you the documentation. It wasn't at all clear from the packaging that this is how it is meant to go, but if you know this it's easy to use.

Small, convenient, nice!
Very good portable hard disk, one of the smallest that can be found as far as I know. I've had two (because the first one got stolen) and they both worked as expected. Read more

Pocket rocket!
This is a truly pocketable hard drive with a capacity that belies its size. It seems very well engineered in a strong metal case with an attractive finish and the obligatory LED to... Read more

Best purchase ever
Very simple, reliable and straight forward to use. Super small and well designed. I even got 500 M free of online storage with it. Very good value for money.

Not worth the month
So disappointed in Lacie. First of all, the drive has stopped mounting after a few months of very little use - it's not been dropped or mishandled in any way. Read more

One slight problem....
The hard drive comes with a small cable - the same length as the hard disc. This would be fine if you use it whilst at a desk, but if you use it on your lap, it's a pain because it... Read more

ALL GOOD AND WORKING FINE WITH TIME MACHINE
Bought as a cheap solution to use with my iMac for time machine backups as I could not justify the £250-£350 or so for the Apple recommended time capsule. Read more

Quietly sits there ...... backing up .....
If I'd been asked to design what a back-up drive should look and perform like, then this one is it ....

Good but was not compatible with OS10.7.1
The item arrived promptly. As a remote drive, the LaCie 500GB is compact, fast and, so far, reliable. Although Firewire is faster, the USB transfer is rapid and trouble-free. Read more
