I would suggest alternatives to Lacies.
We see so many reports of failures.

LaCie = death
I'd just pick up an internal 3.5" disk and throw it in a decent firewire enclosure, then you're good to go.

I am having a more difficult time finding firewire enclosures. I actually have to switch drives out of the ones I have.
It's also important to note that the name on the outside is not always the brand of drive. I had to open up one of my Maxtors when the enclosure failed and the drive inside was a Seagate.

I agree, avoid lacie. I use a lot of G-tech G-raids.

Thanks for the tip!
I use this http://www.macfixit.com.au/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=793
Has vibration protection for when you need to move around. I use it as 1.5 tb drive on a mirrored raid. Also very easy to change drives , not as simple as some systems, but if youre prepared to undo a few screws yourself it runs a bit cheaper.

There is a sticky in the Hardware thread about hard drives.
I have seen lots of people with the lacie orange rugged drives, and it seems to be the best lacie drive, if you had to name one.
As for the Gtech, I would recommend the Graid3 over the Graid2.
Check out macmall.
