UPDATE:
Amazon must have seen my complaint and I received this in record time. Thank you Amazon! 5 stars if this drive is as good as all my other Lacie drives.
Old review:
————-
This is a deceiving item listing… as all Lacie drives appear to not be available for next day shiping – When you go to order this if you look closely, they will add an additional day on the shipping. When you call customer service they say that they are “not readily available from the warehouse”. The main reason I use Amazon is for the quick shipping. This item should not be listed as “in stock”.

I bought 4 of these drives for a project and nearly all of them died within 3 months–after they had lots of data on them. The power supply just went. DON’T TRUST YOUR DATA ON THESE DRIVES!

This was the first time I went for a LACIE product. I wanted a really good external HD for TIME MACHINE in my Imac. Just out of the box, we started with the wrong foot. I’m getting a blinking blue light with no response at all. Never appeared on Finder. Called Customer Service and spent hours on the phone with no answer. Googled “lacie blinking blue light” and realized it was the power adapter that came faulty. If the drive works, I really don’t know! But one thing is certain, I won ‘t purchase any LACIE product ever again.

I completely blame myself for purchasing this product. I read the reviews and thought that it was just the ‘complainers’ writing in. Now I know. I will never purchase anything by lacie ever again. This drive, out of the box for less than a week, is dead and so now I must pay to possibly be able to recover the data. Unless you wish to be miserable, do not under any circumstances purchase one of these drives.

Opened the box, plugged it in, it sparked and smelled BAD!!!
Not a good start. Who knows if it’s any good, it’s a doorstop now.
