I have three LaCie FW drives 80 GB, 160 GB and 250 GB the oldest is about 4 years old and none of them have given me any problems. The 250 I bought used on eBay and it is as reliable as the other two. I have these drives mounted, along with a 16x DVD + -RW, in a mini rack that LaCie also sells it makes a good looking addition to the desk top.
