LaCie 301438 320GB Rugged 7200rpm FireWire 800/FireWire 400/USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used LaCie drives for years and they seem to fail far less often than other drives I've used (WD, Seagate, Maxtor.)Perhaps one of the reasons that my hard rives fail often is that I tend to be a little rough on them.I edit video, often on location, so I drag my drives all over the place.I'm hoping with it's rubberized shell, this LaCie will go the distance.I love that it is self-powered so I don't have to lug a power adapter with me.It's one of the few portable drives that is fast enough for video editing.I purchased the case LaCie Cozy 3.5-Inch Hard Drive Carrying Case 130903 (Grey) for it as well to further protect it.I'll update this review if it dies.

Update: I've used this drive for a year and it's still going strong!I'm going to upgrade to a larger capacity model soon.
