Argh. My kingdom for the perfect harddrive. I had had no problem with Lacie¹s until this 1TB beast. It hasn¹t died, but crashes my Finder all the time. Google searches showed that Lacie¹s cause many crashes. Not good. I keep it off till I do a major backup, then turn it off immediately after. I have 2 other drives, one 4 years old, that works flawlessly.
Gtech had been recommended to me by someone else before. I will look at Drobo next... Thanks. FWIW at Smashface we had a G-Tech 160gb drive that died after only a few weeks - RMA'd for a replacement drive that ended up being flaky, too. They are good looking drives, but I'm not too keen on them. If you're looking for something a little more robust, flexible, etc take a look at Drobo: http://drobo.com/Products/drobo.html [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
