 - LaCie Hard DriveHad a bad experience with this external hard drive. Was not recognized by my Windows PC Operating System when I plugged it in, even though it was supposed to be both PC and Mac compatible. My guess is that it is a programming error at LaCie. Contacted the distributor (Instock Novelties) re returning the defective item and was told that I could not return it since I had removed it from the box. (I swear that is what they said.) Now how could I have known it was defective BEFORE I openned the box?? I have not taken any further action, since I think I may be able to reprogram with a FAT drive myself. If that doesn't work, I will try to get some action by LaCie. Safe to say though that I am not happy with this external hard drive. Nice looking orange cover though!! Rating:  - Great drive!Rugged. Works well, travels well. Very compact. Partners well with my Macbook. Highly recommended. Rating:  - Nice looking itemThis is the first external hard drive that I've purchased (and I'm not a tech-savvy at all) so I'm not sure how it compares with others, but I'm happy with it. It looks nice and it's not small but light and easy to carry around (not that I do). I haven't had any problems so far, and it was very easy to use (installing was simple, as others commented). Rating: - LaCie USB 2.0 Portable Hard DriveThis is a very fast, well built USB 2.0 portable hard drive. Great price and very dependable. Rating:  - LaCie Rugged All-Terrain 160 GB USB external driveI wanted a ruggedised travelling drive; this was both reasonably priced and small and promises to be a good device to take on trips abroad. its fast (USB2) and so far has worked without glitches. I like the alloy case and the rubberised surround (more dress than protection, I would expect). When I first go it, PartitionMagic showed up a small formatting error, but it fixed it, and i have had no problems in use. This seems to be a Toshiba manufactured item. I like it.
