This product has the potential to be a very useful means of backup and storage for large amounts of data, music, and photos. However, I have found the performance of the hard drive to be very erratic. Sometimes it will mount on the Mac Mini desktop, and sometimes it will not. Sometimes it will simply disappear after mounting. The Mac Mini System Profiler will sometimes recognize the device as a LaCie drive, even though the drive does not mount. Other times, it will see only an "Unknown Device." ... Read More
Rating:  - Perfect external hard drive
I was looking for an external hard drive that was compatible with my iBook G4 and discovered that LaCie products work brilliantly with Macs.

In general, I keep the hard drive turned off until I need it but if I were to leave it on it is extremely quiet (to the point I have to ask myself if it is really turned on). The product ...

Rating: - Great product
Fits perfectly with mac mini, looks sleek, whisper quiet, and most importantly, it works with mac os seamlessly. Plus, it has lots of USB and FW ports, so it remedies one of the elements lacking in the mini.
Rating: - LaCie 250 GB Mini External Hard Drive and Hub
My purpose for buying this product was very simple: I just needed additional space to store music. The transition could not have been any smoother. I plugged it in to the FireWire port and I was up and running! It operates in virtual silence from atop my PowerMac G4. I have not had occasion to utilize the "hub" aspect of it yet, but I'm not concerned about the prospect of doing so--I believe it'll be just fine!
Rating: - Pick, pick, pick.... Great unit marred by dumb little things.
Here's a few gripes, most of which are nitpicking cosmetic issues. The aluminum and white plastic case are a near perfect match for the Mini. If you look really hard, the aluminum is just the slightest shade darker and the bottom edge of the aluminum band is slightly rounded, unlike the crisp hard edges of the Mini. But these are minor quibbles hardly worth mentioning. Much more annoying is having this big honk'n ugly logo on the front. Another cosmetic annoyance is the power indicator. It is in the ...
