Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great drive except that the eSATA is not reliable on either MacOS X or Win7/Vista.
If you are only using USB 2 or FireWire 400/800, then this drive is very reliable and great. But if you have important data, don't rely on using the eSATA. You might see data corruption.
So, you ask, why did you give this LaCie Quadra Little Big Disk a one star review? Because of the following:
- eSATA causes data corruption which is unacceptable. If the eSATA isn't going to work well, don't include it
- Customer Service recognizes that doing large transfers over eSATA may cause data corruption. Does that make sense? Send me a private message for my service transcripts to see what they said about this.
I have had many Little Big Disks. And again, if you use ONLY the USB2/FW800 ports, you'll love this drive. Imagine this scenario though... you have important data on the drive and always use FW800. Great! You go over to a friend's and the plug in eSATA not knowing it's buggy. All your data gone.
That happened to me. Twice. Tested and repeatable. One star stands.
