3 out of 5 stars Does the job.......2007-11-26

I've never had any major problems with this drive. I use it primarily to store music and so I play my libraries directly from the drive on different laptops. I never have delays when streaming music off, but when initially accessing the drive or hopping around inside folders there is always a slight response delay, hence the 3 stars. I've used other portable external drives with less downtime. The size and rubber edging is great- you can toss it around in a large bag without a second thought.

5 out of 5 stars Great portable drive.......2007-11-04

This is a very stylish light weight drive that works great with USB. I've had no problems with it and I don't even notice it my my backpack because of it's size and weight. I recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars The software is the rub.......2007-10-29

The LaCie 80GB Rugged All-Terrain External Hard Drive is great for what it does. The set-up was easy, and I had no problems with backing up my data. The software that comes with the HD doesn't quite have enough features for my liking. When you back-up your data, it copies everything you want backed-up, even if it hasn't changed. What would have been nice is a feature that backs-up data that is newly added/changed. If you have a lot of data (photos, mp3s, etc.) each back-up can take a while.

1 out of 5 stars Awful..only worked once........2007-09-26

OK; I had quite a battle with this little thing. I kept getting a power surge error on the USB port this drive was connected to. Even by using another USB port for extra power (as instructed in the documentation), I could not get this to work. I had another software engineer try it on his PC as well. Only 1 time did I ever get my PC to recognize this device and NOT get the power surge warning. Never again did it work. I also tried it on a brand new Dell laptop with no luck. It was truly a bad purchase.

My fiance and I bought this earlier this year with the purchase of our new computer and we're happy with the product. It's easy to use, copies files quickly and offers a safety option to avoid damaging your hard drive/computer when disconnecting. We also enjoy the distinct look of the hard drive, fitted with a shock resistant rubber bumper so you can take it with you, and it's compatible with Vista.

    3 out of 5 stars Drive works fine but is not portable........2007-05-31

    Upon receiving the drive in the mail, I attempted to plug it into my Gateway desktop computer with the USB cable included with the package. The device was recognized but I was unable to access it as a usable drive. Figuring that the the stand-alone USB cable was not providing sufficient power, I connected the additional USB power cable (which was also included with the package). Again the device was not listed as an available drive. I repeated these same steps on my Dell laptop computer with no success.
    I emailed technical support at LaCie and they made several troubleshooting suggestions, which did not help either. Finally, I requested that LaCie send me the optional AC power adapter which can be used in place of the USB power cable. They sent me the power adapter at no extra charge and this solved the problem. The device now has sufficient power and is recognized as an available drive. The drive has been working fine, however, the major downside is that it is no longer portable since it requires AC power. I was disappointed with the initial performance of the drive but I was satisfied by the response of LaCie in meeting my request.

    1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy Lacie Products.......2007-04-06

    I have owned this model for two months and have used it nearly every day without incident, until this morning. I did not drop my hard drive, slam it, nothing. If anything, I've coddled it. It simply stopped working (just stopped mounting to the desktop although it still sounds like it is on). I have attempted to fix permissions and do a disk repair but it will not let me fix either due to volume issues. Computer experts that I have consulted have told me its not even fixable even were I to clear it out for work in the future. I have lost nearly 70 gigs of work, nearly my entire graduate school portfolio, etc. This was a backup for another LaCie hard drive-the porsche designed one- and that one too simply stopped working suddenly after a year or so of solid performance. My backup and the backup to the backup, both LaCie, are toast. I will never buy a single LaCie product again. It is such a drag when the products you rely upon, that you pay good money for, are not reliable. Don't rely upon the nice pictures of this either, the design is rather flimsy, especially the container which feels quite thin. The orange rubber thing is largely a joke. It hangs loose, etc. The sorry thing is that if you had asked me a week ago how I felt about this product, I would have said that the triple interface was great, esp. b/c of the FW800 as this model seems to be the only portable drive with an 800. So for whatever that's worth, there it is. Too bad the same cannot be said for the three months of new work I had stored on there and the older work from the last two years.

    4 out of 5 stars Good tool for the job and home.......2007-03-14

    I like this hard drive because it works with the imacs in my school lab. I can plug and play. I can store a lot of stuff. It has firewire and usb connectivity. I accidentally dropped it while it was running and attached to my laptop but it still worked after that. I can throw it in my backpack whenever I am on the run.

    1 out of 5 stars LaCie Rugged 80 gig triple interface.......2007-03-13

    Bought in June 2006 and got it installed without too much problem.
    Every 2 months or so hooked it up to Dell Inspiron 9100 for file back ups.
    The 1st and 2nd times I did this I had to re-start computer or do something again to get its icon on the laptop to transfer data. The 3rd time in March 2007, I hooked it up, the external drive got hot and never connected to the laptop. I will NEVER purchase another LaCie product; NEVER had these problems with an HP external hard drive. Moral;buy HP external drives and SHORT lac.pa ! Nuff said. Who has time for this !

    1 out of 5 stars did not work.......2007-02-19

    This item caused a USB power surge and did not work upon initial try. I also plugged in the supplied USB/power cord and it still did not work. I have a 2004 Dell Inspiron 6oom that obviously does not supply enough power at the USB to run these portable drives. I have no intention of using it connected to the desk top as this is supposed to be portable and run off the laptop battery. I will return it and look for the largest flash-memory available.
