    My business requires me to store a lot of large files. This is the second lacie I've owned and I wouldn't trust anything else to hold client work.

    This is a great external hard drive. Works great with my iMAC and shows up on the desktop as an icon that actually looks like the device.

    I'm having connectivity issues with the short cord and have to stand the drive up "just so" in order for the phantom power to kick on the hard drive.

    Not as fast as I was hoping. I'm using it on my 2011 mac book pro. My USB3 drives on my mac pro are much faster. If you have a 2012 mac book with USB3 get that instead much cheaper and faster.

    I did all the research -- best product on the market for backup. I've used Lacie for years and wouldn't use any other external drive manf.

    Honestly the thunderbolt adapter is great- I just wish the drive inside was a little faster. The bottleneck on this thing is the 5400 rpm drive. Other than that it's great.

    The product honestly just needs more instruction on how it should be used and be more novice friendly, if Lacie gets that down pat, they'll be alright.

    Easy to get started and get going, once I re-formatted. Do not use installed programs - disk drive companies are not experts in this arena. MS and Apple do a much better job, so use their s/w.
